I will always be a desktop/laptop guy.
Own three laptops and 2 tablets, all used for different purposes between myself and son.
That said, I tried the Surface Pro 3 and I see it can fold in nicely with my current setups. The Surface is a tablet with a keyboard that easily attaches/detaches by a mag strip. And the keyboard is rugged, feels good to the fingers and has tactile touch yet is super thin.
In time, I think laptops go away and get thinner meaning they evolve to what the Surface is today.
So I am looking to change the hardware in the year or years ahead and so far the model form I like is the Surface.
I am still in the deliberation phase. Of course, there is much more to decision making that just form factor. The software and software support are key factors. So far from what I have read about Microsoft is they have a new guy at the top and the innovations and changes are being thoroughly worked out in advance with the user communities. So that should alleviate criticisms from the past.
They say the Surface Pro 3 is a full desktop/laptop replacement. If that be the case then the Surface machines should run Linux. I don’t run Linux but I like to have machines that give me options.
