Wow, at that price point and feature set, I think Microsoft finally has something that can plausibly be considered an iPad-killer.

When I can actually download an MP3 from my browser and open it on my iPad I'll consider using it as an actual thing again.

Until then? It's not a computer. This is.

Looks interesting until I see that it's $499 in the US and $945 (£639) in the UK. Why!

Edit: Was looking at the Surface Pro 3, the standard Surface is only ~$620. Not too bad I guess.

Bet the optional* keyboard costs like $300 now, though. *not really optional

You'd lose the bet. Keyboard is $129, docking station is $199, pen is $49.

You got me there. My point, as you no doubt know, was that they're advertising a low headline price and then jacking it up with 'optional' extras that provide core functionality.
