Not getting it. I already have the Surface RT and its perfect for what it is.

For my full Windows 8 fix, I found my device...

Should be out in a few months and fix all complaints people have about the surface (battery issues, can't be used in lap). For cheaper too...

That seems too heavy for me.

I don't use my netbook on my lap anyways, I'm always on my desk or on a tray or a table.

Your comment is FUD, trolling and complete nonsence all at the same time.

You could possibly make a case if you really tried enough that Surface RT and Windows RT ecosystem could be discountinued a year from now but you're probably not intelligent enough to do that.

But for Surface Pro, how is the entire x86 ecosystem going to die all of a sudden and Surface Pro going to be discontinued? Surface Pro comes with an ivy bridge i5 and more bells and whisltes than you know. It's more capable than any laptop I know under 1000 dollars.

Can you please calm down?

lol... Im perfectly calm. 

Thanks to the iPad and Apple handholding people have this belief that a device is only as good as long as it's supported by the manufacturer. Like if a manufacture discontinues the device, device is dead in the water. This is true for closed ecosystems such as WebOS, Windows RT...but for something like Windows x86 your device is as good as the specs behind it.

Surface Pro has the specs to perform the necessary tasks for a long time and see future iterations of Windows for years to come.
