The business models can be either Intel or Qualcomm Snapdragon. I'm not
sure if the Intel versions are available in the consumer market. The
designations are rather confusing. They may be setting themselves up for
buyer's remorse like the ARM powered RTs. At least this generation can run
regular Windows software with the emulator although there's a list of
caveats.

So, even if they run on Intel CPUs they don't use a completely standard
Windows install? Or do you mean the Snapdragon ones have to emulate regular
Windows?

For me a laptop is pretty much useless without a keyboard, so the whole
tablet plus keyboard concept is lost on me.
