I have desktop PC with Win8 on it. I feel chained to this thing all the time, even when I am not doing anything intensive and am just browsing the web/watching youtube. I would like to only have to turn this on when I recording gameplay or rendering/streaming said gameplay video; and move 98% of my computer time to a Windows 8 Pro portable device which solves the issue I am having currently with my wife's android smartphone.
I currently use my wife's android phone to be portable. I've grown quite fond of consuming my internet browsing/youtube watching whilst lying in bed, in the bath, or sitting in the toilet. And having it to hand when I'm in the kitchen cooking/making a cup of tea. Swishing the touchscreen to scroll the page is very fast and easy. Only one problem.... I can't use the onscreen keyboard to save my life! I must have fat fingers or something...
I have deduced that I am obviously in need of something with a touchscreen and a regular keyboard; which is still portable. But I am put off by touchscreen laptops in the traditional clamshell shape, as it wouldn't be comfortable in bed/bath/on toilet. So far I am looking at the MS Surface Pro... but it's hugely expensive and I'm not going to be able to afford one until Christmas 2013 if not later. This seems to be a fairly new device type (touchscreen/detachable 'real' keyboard), is it just a case of waiting it out in the hope that something comes along which meets my needs and is also affordable?

Her android phone is on contract, and that contract is due to run out soon, at which point she can keep the old phone to give to me whilst she gets a new one. I would want to use the phone as a portable internet browser... but without signing a new contract, nor burning through pay as you go phonecredit. We have WiFi in our apartment, which is mostly where I would use the phone as an internet browser. I just don't know if such a thing is possible?
Any help is very much appreciated.
