It may be worth looking at 2-in-1's also. There are a few 2 piece [base + screen] options that may work for you. [Same thing as a Surface with extra keyboard.] I decided on a 1 piece 2-in-1 Dell refurb since I also wanted to use it as my main computer with dual boot capabilities and don't want to worry about unexpected separations [that happened with my Asus]. The annotations seem to be working, with no problems, as fast as I can scribble using the active pen. The Bamboo is supposed to work on it also. Sometimes inexpensive is not the way to go.
