If you are doing this for on the road, that's a lot of peripherals you are carrying.

As for difference in home vs pro, we'd need to know your use-case...
Yes, doing this for home, but if travel is ever possible again I take my laptop with me and it's very nice not to have to plug/unplug 3 or 4 cables. So a hub is probably not the optimal solution.

I'm also looking at the X208 which seems more powerful and is more the form factor I'd prefer.

As to Windows, nothing special. Using have Chrome with a dozen or so open tabs, word processing using Office 2010 and WordPerfect X13 (no need to laugh ), Chrome Remote Desktop (when logging in from a different computer in a different part of the house), a pop3 email client, and a few other programs. No gaming.

Thanks!
