Well, the RT is last-gen and now deprecated anyways, but it’s “big brother” was the Surface (no RT after it).
It’s successor is the Surface 2, which shares it’s use of a phone/tablet-grade CPU and the neutered, restricted, and borderline useless Windows RT OS. I saw “borderline useless” as it cannot run Windows apps, or get any software in any way other than from the Microsoft Market. It’s as closed a platform as iOS is, but without the variety of apps that iTunes offers.
The Surface Pro 2 is about 1/8” thicker, about twice the cost, and is a full-on computer. It runs the full-blown Win8 (and thus can load and run any program that a laptop/desktop can) on a CPU that is ~40% more powerful than what I have in my three-year-old desktop.
The Surface Pro 2 is actually a fairly decent rig, but I cannot justify the cost. They run $900–1800 depending on how much storage you get, and since I wouldn’t dream of running a Windows rig with <256GB, I’d be looking at the $1300 model.
@Seek_Kolinahr If you can figure out wifi, Blue Tooth is simple. The hardest part is remembering to make your devices visible for that first pairing.
