Looks exciting. Should come with the general availability of Windows 8. Also, it's going to have specs for ARM and x86 :D

I might buy one with the keyboard case. Looks like a good deal with WinRT.

The cover is definitely something very innovative. Too bad it's an extra $100 to tack on :S

Classic media BS, the Surface will do just fine with Windows 8 - see what they said when the Xbox first came out...

I think the problem with most of these reviews is that they are evaluating how good the Surface is based on how well it performs as an iPad. I think the metrics are just wrong -- the Surface is an entire league of its own.
