I had a very good open office experience last year. My gf couldn't open a powerpoint that was emailed to her to work on. I got it open with open office, saved it and emailed it back to her, and it opened again on her computer. That really saved the day.
Most times however, it's a quirky and hard to use PITA. I simply get less done on it in the same time compared to real office.
Of course, I'm tech dumb and proud of it. I ditched Ubuntu to go to Windows 7 and never looked back.
Thanks most of you for your advice. I'm not buying a tablet tomorrow. Going to do a couple weeks in class and wait for my next class to start before settling on anything.
Get the Asus T100. Comes with office. You won't run into limitations with processing power or RAM browsing or editing documents.
To answer your question as to what it's missing- Build quality. Made of plastic. My volume rocker on the tablet feels just a little flexy and cheap. 720p vs 1080p. Slower to charge but compare at 10hrs battery, not an issue for me.
It's a great device and has replaced my laptop. To give you and example, I was browsing mountainproject in tablet mode and saw your thread. Clicked it into the keyboard to type out my reply.
Surface pro 2 if you're loaded. Dell venue 11 if you want a slightly better product with same specs. T100 on a budget.
