I run 8.1 update 1 on all my x86-64 devices. I'm running the developer preview of 8.1 phone on my 925.
The biggest change in 8, is that your start screen is full screen. Once you realize that nothing else really changed, you can get over the "HORRIBLENESS" of windows 8 quickly.
8 has a lot of under the hood improvements for laptops/arm mobile stuff.
Surface's are very nice, esp if you do digital art, they're costly though, but about on par with a MacBook air.
