While, I am a little disappointed with the price of the Surface RT (mostly because I don't want to spend that much, not because I don't think it is still a good value.) I can understand how Microsoft can't really undercut their competitors.
The Surface PRO will be a seriously powerful tablet/laptop. I think you should compare it to a Mac Air, which it will probably beat in price, performance and power. It will have a good Ivory Bridge processor and a nice 1080P screen. Plus a full version of Windows 8. It will not be inexpensive, but very functional and versitile.
It will be 'the slate' Bill Gates was trying to bring out over a decade ago.
