A review from a reasonably trustable source, PC Advisor, is at Microsoft Surface Pro Review. So far as I can see, the starting price of $890 and more for the version reviewed isn't comparable to what you can get for $350 in a desktop for similar performance, but it is a "barely portable" thing that might be of interest to some. (There appear to be cheaper models, but they reviewed ones that might do something for you?)

Summary is: 1.) Expensive as H***., 2.) Runs very hot, 3.) Heavy as a big brick.4.) Screen resolution not as good as some others, 5.) only has "usable" keyboard - not an efficent one, 6.) It's 100% Microsoft.

Based on price alone, you'd get great "bragability" among budget conscious friends, but not much else.

YMMV.

A review from CNet, which usually gives more "technical" information, doesn't say a whole lot but has a nice slide show. They don't appear to be a lot more impressed than I've been, but ...

The Review by ZD Net also looks to me that they rate it as "unimpressive."

There are lots of other comments from people who appear to care, and have actually looked at it, but I won't post links to places I'm not familiar enough with to be able to know how much I can trust them.

Bottom line: "Ho ... and a big Hum" but of course YMMV.
