you might have been better served getting a tablet based on an Intel Atom processor. you still get full Windows 8 x86, but battery life will be near 10 hours (or 20 if you get one with a keyboard dock that has an extra battery), and the bulk/heat will be greatly reduced. the only downsides to the smaller processor come into play if you want to do more advanced work like photo/video editing or heavy gaming (aside from standard mobile games in the Windows Store)
basically if you want a complete laptop\desktop replacement, go with a Surface Pro or another i5-i7 based tablet. but if you want a complimentary device with more mobility, go for the Atom ones
