Ask HN: Tablet Choices

My girlfriend's birthday is on Sunday.

She needs to replace her laptop. Ideally, I would buy her a Macbook Air. Unfortunately, she is dead set on a tablet of some sort. She was excited by the Courier video a few years back.

She really wants a tablet with a good keyboard solution. I think Surface is the best bet on it. What do you guys think?

I narrowed down the list to:

Microsoft Surface RT - iPad 3 - Refurbished, seems like a good deal iPad 4 - iPad Mini - Asus Transformer Prime -

I added more notes on here, vpena.sqsp.com/2012/10/24/on-tablets Never thought, this would be a hard choice. I know Monday the Nexus 10 will probably debut.
