centos stock doesn't have much in the way of touch screen UI. using a
touchscreen as a mouse replacement is clumsy and awkward at best.
an x86 PC compatible tablet would be a real battery pig, too. my 10"
android tablet has 1GB ram, and 16GB flash, and runs for a week of
moderate use on a charge, its not even 1/4" thick and weighs ounces.
It *is* possible you could run CentOS on the new Microsoft Surface Pro,
as thats running Windows 8.1 x86, not some ARM or MIPS version.
