I use an Asus Taichi Windows 8 convertible tablet/ultrabook that I roam with at work in my medical practice, but I needed a small to moderate size footprint desktop unit for my personal needs on my desk.

I waited over two months for Sony to finally release what is essentially a semi-portable 21 inch Windows 8 tablet.  I ordered it configured with the maximum RAM and hard drive that it could accomodate in order to try to future proof it.  The unit easily linked to my office tablet, mirroring the screen graphics. The computer boots up from off very quickly using the hybrid hard drive.  The sound from the built in speakers is very good for basic use (I stream Pandora, You Tube and Sirius at my desk).

I have lost count on the number of computers that I have purchased over the years, but I can honestly say that this is my absolute favorite so far!
