Hope someone who owns a Surface Pro will come out with a user review

I played with the one at Harvey Normal, I have to say I am impress with the build quality. Just sad that it took so long to come out.. interest and hype all gone already.. Have to give it to Apple for keeping announcement and launch close enough.

I'd love to hear about impressions on the Surface Pro as well. smile.gif
The price is certainly attractive for a pen-enabled x86-based device. But how does it compare against more costly hybrids like the Stylistic Q702 and the Thinkpad Helix? Would the 10.6" display be too cramped for it to be used as a primary pc for work?

The Surface Pro is tablet first, with PC like capabilities. If you're using it for PC work then better to get those new Ultrabooks that turns into tablet. 10.6" too small for standard PC usage on day to day.. for me anyway it is.

Main reason I want to get it is when I go to campus, it will be way more portable than my Retina MBP. If I really wanna use it on my home desk or even TV I can use HDMI out.
yeah, lot of work depend on it in campus.

What kind of work are you wanting to do on it? Because believe it or not, I run my presentations from my mobile phone at times, connect via hdmi out to a projector. Even more portable. LOL

But yeah, I see the Surface Pro as a tablet with PC compatibility on the go etc, but not as your main work machine.

thts cheap, considering to get a unit of RT or not, any RT users ere?

They have to lower their price already to fight.. Nexus 7 looks more attractive, cheaper, higher res, granted, smaller screen, but a more mature OS environment as well.

Microsoft really needs to more for their Surface lines to really surface up from their poor sales currently.
