What is the best Tablet PC for EMR use?

I have roamed the internet and computer stores to find the most ideal laptop/table/ultrabook for EMR (electronic medical records) applications. Wares that do not have stylus capability were not even evaluated. I was looking for one that could accept handwriting with a fairly good handwriting input interface. Using stylus with stubs as pen is out of the question. I prefer the pen-like size of stylus. The three I considered for evaluation are the Lenovo X230Tablet, Microsoft Surface Pro and Sony Vaio Duo 11.
All of them have good pen-input response. Having loaded the Medical Dictionary helped in the recognition of medical terminologies. Lenovo lends itself for use without being carried around. It is slightly heavy to be cradled. The Surface Pro has some heaviness to it also. With the keyboard the ergonomics of converting to tablet is not as effortless as the Sony Vaio 11. I gave the Sony two thumbs up.
