Microsoft Surface Pro: delight or disaster?

[karl]

Can Microsoft’s new tablet excite people in a way comparable to the iPad?

In June last year, Microsoft signalled its biggest shift in a generation: not from one numbered version of Windows to another, but from being simply a maker of software to a company that made fully fledged computers. Finally, the Seattle-based company that changed the face of computing was to follow the approach pioneered by Apple and BlackBerry. Its product, to be called Microsoft Surface, would be a tablet with a unique cover that combined protection with keyboard and looked better than any rival. The first version would run a cutdown version of Windows while the second, Surface Pro, would do everything other computers can.

Well, I know that so far it has gotten bad reviews. So people are unlikely to buy it. Although people are unlikely to buy it even without reading the reviews, since it nearly costs $1000.

...and looked better than any rival.
Whoa there. I still haven't seen a tablet which looks better than the iPad. Expensive as it might be, the design of the device itself really is amazing.

I think them making the Microsoft surface was a good move.

The only complaint from people have been the storage. But since it actually offers the same or more storage than its direct competitors, its hardly an issue (but rather, a stupid complaint brought up by idiots in the media that had no clue what they were doing).

It has good battery life (4 hours. Take into account this isn't just a toy like an iPad or an droid crap. This is a full-featured PC), an amazing screen, and feels very solid.
