And before they say no keyboard. They also put the keyboard on the scale and it was still lighter.

Microsoft sets out to conquer the tablet market and ends up making a netbook, lol. Par for the course. Ditch the goofy McDonald’s cash register GUI and they might get some traction.

I’ll wait for the model that includes the K5000M. Cool nonetheless!

"The Surface Pro 3 gives its mobile roots a nod with the inclusion of a full-fledged digitizer pen with 256 points of pressure—just like the Surface Pro 2. In fact, the entire Surface Pro 3 design revolves around note-taking; beyond the 3:2 aspect ratio, Microsoft has baked OneNote integration deeply into the pen."

I spoke with a guy who does 3-D modeling with Adobe products for 3-D printers. He raved about the Surface Pro 2's pen quality and accuracy. With the higher res screen, this must be a nice upgrade. To my knowledge, Apple has nothing equivalent.

I would LOVE a small travel laptop like this but unfortunately I’m stuck using a high end graphics card.

At those prices? No thank you. I could get an Apple MacBook Air 4 GB/256 GB storage version for way less.

I think it’s too big. Ten inches is a perfect size for a tablet. The screen size shouldn’t be really larger than a piece of paper.

All they’ve done is create a laptop with a detachable keyboard. It would surprise me if this sold well.

Meh. I still fail to see the allure behind a tablet at all. Yea, they’re nice in some instances, but in those times, my phone (with it’s 4” screen) works just fine. And when I actually want to do something, a full scale laptop, with a proper GPU is much more useful.

I still don’t see much use for these things than as toys.

A tablet will never replace my laptop, period.

I already own the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2” tablet, and it is doing a fine job of replacing my notebook - without Windows. :)
