I'm looking into a Windows tablet for work. Right now it's between the Samsung ATIV 3 and the Dell Venue 11 Pro. From what I read, the Venue 11 Pro may be the better buy.

What I want:

Keyboard accessory
Decent battery life
Fast processor

Any thoughts? Are there any alternatives I should consider? My budget is about $750, which unfortunately excludes the Surface Pro 2.

Thanks. I had forgotten about the original Yoga as an option. I may go the route of the Lenovo Outlet for a refurbished model.

Edit - looks like they're Windows RT machines on the outlet. So maybe not.

My budget will be pretty dead set at that amount. I actually recently bought a new 15.6" personal laptop strictly for home use but I became eligible for a program through my work which will reimburse me up to about $750 on a device. I'll be facing a pissed off wife of I have to spend any more money on a computer right now so I want the reimbursement to cover it completely.

I could probably see if I could submit the personal laptop for the reimbursement, but I'd like something a little smaller for porting around. That's why I was considering a tablet.

My wife has been using a Nexus 7 from around when they first came out, and I want to get her a new tablet for her birthday.

What's the current top runner for 10" Android tablets? It would be used for typical tablet internetting crap. I'd like to stay under $500 (less is better, natch).

Is there any reason not to get the Kindle Fire HD 7 for my aging mom who just needs the simplest way to get on the web, check email and do mom things? It's $109 on Amazon right now.

Has anyone heard any updated rumors on the release date for the Yoga Tab 3 Plus? I thought it was October.
