Been tasked with purchasing 15+ tablets for engineers in work but have specific requirements; 
 
Has to run any version of Windows other than 8 RT and has to be robust (or have a case that makes it such). They all have the latest Blackberry handsets, unsure if they are capable of tethering or not? If not then they would have to be capable of taking a sim. 
 
Any suggestions?

I had a play with a HP the other day and was impressed with it.

Can they be had without 8 RT?

Genuine parameters I've been given - 'however much it costs'. 
 
They'll baulk if it's ridiculous but I'd imagine 15 x the price of that one Nismo has shown or thereabouts wouldn't be an issue.

The Surface Pro is Windows; vanilla Surface is RT.
