.... I can still fit a 8 inch tablet in my pocket.

... Having a full OS unlocks all sorts of potential.

I think I will replace my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with an 8" Windows tablet with active digitizer when I feel the need to truly replace it. Though I will probably wait for the next generation of hardware.

Yup, well, my observation is that Windows is a bit better than
Android in a tablet format,
but it is still the same stifling Windows.
With all the broken Tuesdays you can stand...

That said,
(Speaking from having poked around inside)
You might be advised to stay as far away as you can
from anything that says SoC
and get something that has a real CPU (core i3, i5 , or i7)
Try to make certain that the comms chips are not,
repeat - NOT - Broadcom.
And be careful about accepting a unit
that has a single USB port for charging-and-connectivity.

I almost considered the Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1
except for that last point
I have weeks of blisters from trying to live with
a Windows pad that has only a single USB port,
and to say that I loathe the thing would be an understatement.
I call it my tablet for onion-chopping now.
