We've veered off topic to tilt at windmills.

The HP Stream 7 I ordered from Microsoft UK arrived this morning. It's chunky, the screen is distinctly average but useable and Windows 8 is awful but it is going to be useful for me for testing and running some Windows only software I very occasionally have to run. It's a pity it doesn't have an HDMI out as it might have even made a semi-decent occasional desktop.

At £49 including Office 365 for a year it was actually £10 cheaper than just paying for the Office subscription, which I've put on my Mac.

If you're not sure about tablets then watch out for these bargains.
