The real factor that should be most considered is whether it does something THAT YOU NEED that isn't available in something cheaper with verified performance. I don't need "portable" and instant continuous connection with "friends" who don't actually GIS about me, so it's fairly uninteresting for my needs.

For some people, "I spent more than you did" is VERY IMPORTANT, and at present that seems to be a significant factor for those who might think they want Surface Pro. I don't see much else of significance, even when I try very hard to consider how important things that I don't need may be to others.

Maybe later. For now the important consideration is that with five posts to the thread maybe someone who cares will look at it and give us a useful comment. (Nobody looks at threads with only one or two posts. Confirmed. Data available.)
