Wait and see
Clearly this author is sold on the Surface. Now I'd like to know what good this device is when Windows 8 OS is clearly hated by over 44% of all the people who've used it. What good is the Surface when the additional computers you've got in your life are utilizing an OS (Windows 8) that's nearly impossible to use and most certainly a miserable experience. Then there's the price issue. Sorry but there's a reason IPad has over 70% of the market. Their stuff works and the quality standards are hard to beat hence they can command the high prices we're willing to pay. Having the latest and best is always fun, but I'd stick with a company that has a solid track record before plunking down piles of money Microsoft for unknown reliability be it the Surface or the soon to be released Surface Pro ($999). As a fan of Windows 7 and the house full of notebooks running on this solid OS, I'm sure the Surface is a nice but it still appears "If you can't beat them - copy them." Come on, this is just an Apple design in all the wrong ways. It's not prejudice speaking here just experience since I own all the above.
