Of course I am going to do some work with my tablet, why wouldn't I? You are once again, telling me what I need and don't need. Are you really that narrowminded? Surface pro works with mouse and keyboard, you knowz? It also works as a tablet, omgz!

I don't know why you're making this comparison. The Surface Pro isn't really comparable as it effectively is a laptop with a touchscreen. It has a laptops specs, laptop OS and importantly, a laptops price! They're different tools for different situations and market segments.


Lo and behold, it is a tablet. Of course I am comparing it to other tablets.

Would you also compare the old PS3 with a Linux PC? They're both computers after all, yet they have very different functions and are suited/optimised to very different tasks.

Like I said, the comparison is flawed. Surface Pro is effectively a laptop with a touchscreen and is a completely different market segment. If you have the money then great as it can function as a tablet, but you're also paying for a full blown laptop on top of that.

Of course not. PS3 is a video game console, while pc is a personal computer. A tablet is a tablet, while another tablet is a tablet. Your comparison is flawed, nothing else.

It's not just a tablet though is it? It's a laptop that you can use as a tablet. You also pay near double the price of an average Android/iPad tablet for that extra functionality.

You're comparing a laptop to a pure tablet. When Surface Pro is released, it's unlikely to be compared to the iPad or the Nexus 10. Tech sites will be comparing it to equivalent laptop devices and ultrabooks (and most will also be running Windows 8). Your comparison is as absurd as the one I posted above.
