These look pretty slick. A bit on the expensive side compared to their lesser brethren, but that's to be expected.

They are definitely more expensive than other tablets or laptops. Even the keyboard for the Surface is WAY overpriced.
I’ve used the Surface in the past and I always go back to my good ole Windows 7 machines. They just keep working.

I really don’t follow why FR turns into neo-luddite central (I’m sticking with Windows XP/7, let’s all run Linux) every time MSFT comes up, but meanwhile people are happily running their Apple (consider their CEO) or Google (your life is their product) phones.
It’s just a tablet or laptop, you can run whatever you like on it, please try not to panic.
Personally I’m on the “not buying it at all” side on this one — very elegant design, but lacking horsepower. Also, Alcantara is potentially a lot of work to keep fresh; I’m already having to consider gloves for my Alcantara sim-steering wheel.

The company I work at has several thousand cell phones.
The cell phones screens break easily. A new one is bought and overnighted to the user.
They are now buying Surface Pros. When they break they must be sent to a Microsoft repair center. This is expensive!
