I actually want one of these... it'd be kind of cool for university stuff. Though I would rather prefer a less powerful device which is light, slim and has a long battery life.

Directx 11.1 is already Win8-only. Although MS capitulated a little and decided to release *some* of those features to Windows 7. Doubt it's going to happen for many more versions.

There are Windows 8 Atom-powered tablets around, some with keyboard docks, others convertible-like. I saw one with a quoted battery life of 14 hrs; you can probably expect at least 10 hrs in practical use with that.
