i rather buy a new Laptop from Toshiba or Asus, it would be cheaper and more powerfull.

But if you want a all in one then get Surface Pro its probably the best option for all in one devices though it way too expensive.

Only rich people will buy it and thats it. it will probably sell a few milions but Surface Line needs a 200e Tablet so people can jump in.

Those Tablets cost way too much, its unbeliavable.

Cost of the Surface RT = Cost of a new iPad or comparable Android tablet. Cost of most professional ultrabooks >= cost of surface pro.

Tablets are usless compared to Laptops or Pcs... they wont last much longer.

Interesting assessment you have there. I guess that's why PCs are taking so much market share away from tablets? O.o

My Surface RT has better battery life, better portability, runs a locally installed Office client, and can access everything I need for work (via RDP and/or sharepoint), so it works much better for me as a mobile machine. I can also flip open the type cover, pop out the kickstand, and use it like a small laptop (if at a table or desk). Pretty useful, especially compared to other (*cough*, oversized smartphones) tablets.
