#2Looks awesome.
I always say I won't buy a tablet until it is as useful as my laptop - this is a great step in that direction with the multi position stand, 12" screen, core i7, thin and light...Will I actually enter the tablet world?

#3It's nice but it must suck when faced by the behemoth that is the iPad.

#43:2 screen ratio is a killer feature. The size (800g, 9.1 mm) is quite unbelievable as well.

#5Looks good, but I was expecting a screen with the same specs as Google's Chromebook Pixel. I understand that, beyond a certain point, pixel density ceases to be relevant, but the different numbers mean this is a different part.
Now, I wonder how good would Linux support be.
Also, weighting a keyboardless tablet with a MacBook air is disingenuous at best.

#6Microsoft needs to keep at it. While this iteration is great, the platform will not flourish if they falter or take a release cycle off. Consistent upgrades to the Surface hardware, and support of the developer community is key to winning the overall tablet war for MS.

The differentiator is the OS. One of them is for play, the other is for productivity. Comparing full Windows 8.1 to iOS is Apples to Oranges.

#8This sure is a bummer for people who recently bought a Surface Pro 2 (like me). It's unreal that a 6-month old $1200 machine already is outdated

They put the typecover on - stills weigh less.

The thing to remember is that you don't have to have the latest greatest thing. In worlds where a Surface Pro 3 was coming out now, and worlds where that wasn't happening, your Surface Pro 2 would still be able to do the same things. The presence of something newer doesn't need to diminish your existing possessions.
