I had a 2 GB Compaq with W7, ran fine with AutoCAD and IE open. And you won't be doing that type of work with a 8 inch tablet probably.
 
with metro apps 2gb should be fine

4gb would have been nicer, but then more expensive.


I was bummed no wacom, but for the price i get it
 
Still not quite there in my opinion, give it another generation.
 
I have been giving tablets another generation since 2010. ;)

You can end up waiting forever with the, "give it another generation" attitude.
 
You can give it another generation if other devices can fit your needs.

Only in an emergency. At this size, desktop applications are there as backup.

Having full access to the full Windows ecosystem, means you don't have to worry about some kind of software not being available, or being blocked in the App store.

Though the interface will be less than ideal, and I would never want to run any serious Office work on it. (though if it has some kind of HDMI/DP output....).
 
I don't get it with 2GB on a 8" screen the way legacy looks on higher resolutions. It's tiny with a mouse on 1366x768 and 11.6".

It depends on the Office app in question. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook work reasonably well for me or the Venue 8 Pro. Visio and Access don't work well with touch.OneNote is fantastic, probably the best desktop app there is that adjusts to touch and pen.
 
I can't imagine what this "business" tablet is going to cost. The $200 Kindle Fire HDX 7" tablet I just bought has a beautiful 1920x1200 LCD and I imagine not too cheap Snapdragon 800 SoC, but of course the PC side of things don't work in that price structure. Intel wants a premium for an Atom (!),MS needs its chunk of flesh for an OS license and Lenovo needs to price it so it doesn't eat into laptop sales, plus it needs a lot of flash storage because Windows is a pig, etc. Recipe for success! ;)

Second paragraph states $399
 
Very interest...

I'll wait for Cherry Trail-T which supposedly supports up to 8GB of RAM. If not, then I may just wait for Willow Trail.

Intel is finally getting serious with GPU performance on Cherry Trail. According to one slide, it's getting 16EU gen 8 (Broadwell) graphics, vs 4EU gen 7 (Ivy Bridge) graphics in Bay Trail.

If graphics performance is important, Cherry Trail is probably worth waiting for.
 
^^^

My concern is not the ability of Bay Trail or Cherry Trail to play full HD content. My concern is solely focused on the amount of available RAM.
