  Yes, a Windows 8 Pro tablet, like the Venue 11 Pro 5130 I’m evaluating right now. It looks like a slightly fat tablet, but it’s a full PC inside. This one is an Atom 3770 with 2G of RAM and a 64G SSD. You can get them with i5s, 4G of RAM, and 128G SSDs. It only has 1 USB port, but it’s a full USB3.0 host port. If you’re sitting down there is a docking stand that breaks out 3 USB, ethernet, HDMI, and DisplayPort.
  The one I have is an evaluation loaner from Dell, but if you can make it down to the U in the next few days you can ogle it if you like.
