What's the use case? You mention basic Office apps. What kind of mobile user are you? Are you someone who just wants to sit on the couch while they work, or are you a road warrior, etc... ?
These kinds of things can make a big difference in what you should be considering.

That's a little cynical.
If we get a good idea of the use case instead of just spouting off what our favorite is (no offense Mac guys) - I think we can make some pretty darn good recommendations.

None taken. But have you ever wondered why they are our favorites?
Here's one example - Macs run Vista pretty well, too.
