I know of the Galaxy note 10.1 and the Surface but the Note 10.1 is bad according to reviews and the Surface's screen resolution isn't exactly desirable. I'm basically looking for something that can be used for recreational art and note taking. Preferably around $500 give or take $100. Hardware is another concern since I want to do art on it

As far as i know there isn't many stylus enabled tablets at that price range.
Windows 8 tablets like Asus Vivo Tab and Samsung ATIV Smart PC comes with the wacom stylus and they are bit pricey.
There will be pro versions of these Win8 tablets, but those are going to be around or over 1000$.

I am looking to get Asus Vivo Tab when it comes available.

You might be best-suited to wait for Surface Pro. It'll come with better specs, higher resolution, better touch input, etc, compared to the Surface. I believe it ships with a stylus, too. However, it may fall over your price range by $200 or so, by my estimation.

I've thought about the surface pro but a few things worry me. For one the price, which I expect to be close to that of ultrabooks (1000+), battery life, and the fact that it won't be able to handle most x86 art applications like Sai, photoshop, Artrage, illustrator, what have you in the battery saving low power mode.

Battery life and heat seem like a big issue for x86 slates and personally I'd like to wait for Haswell or Silvermont but they're too far away as I'm looking for something now.

I just looked at the ASUS VIVO and Samsung ATIV that was mentioned. The resolution for both are both pretty low and the hardware seems a bit old. I though Samsung would at least use their new Exynos soc for their own tablet but alas, and I can't seem to find anything saying it features a wacom digitizer. The ASUS VIVO with the atom doesn't seem like a good choice since Atom is incredibly weak, I don't think it can handle most art applications...

I'm expecting Surface Pro to be <$1000, probably in the $800 range for the 32GB model. (pure conjecture)

It'll be powered by a Core i5 3xxxxU variant, so it should have plenty of horsepower for demanding apps and the battery has roughly a 33% higher capacity than Surface RT. 1080p @ 10.6" is going to be pretty dense, too. If you are in a position where you can wait, I would advise you to do so until we start seeing previews or until its release in February.

From my experience playing with Surface RT, Microsoft has hit the ball out of the park with this one. I like what they've accomplished both on the hardware and software fronts - I have been won-over by Windows 8

That's my opinion, anyway.

February's probably too late for me. My time span for the purchase is basically up to new years.

Ativ pro is the winner here.

I think I'd rather wait for Haswell or next gen Atom before getting a full Windows Slate. I doubt the ATIV pro will have stellar battery life
