The Surface Pro is definitely one of the best devices out there, but I agree with Soundwave, when it's that big I'd rather use a laptop, which can not only do everything the Surface does better, it can also PLAY GAMES.

What brand or model 12 inch laptop are you refering to? 

The "i want to play games" mantra is a little weak.  I have the Pro 2 and the screen is only 10.6 inches.  I play civilization and a few other games with no problems.  My son has a Pro 2 also and he downloaded the free Battlefield 3 from Origin a couple of days ago and has been playing that quite a bit.  I can't diagree that the graphics chip is on the lower end, but with a 12 inch screen it is plenty good.

The physical size of the screen has nothing to do with graphics performance... that 12 inch screen is 1440px tall, which is a high resolution to play on without a decent GPU. I didn't read all that article but I would assume the tablet just uses the integrated Intel GPU, which is what I game with... mine will be an older version but my laptop struggles with/doesn't run most games from 2011 onward and some (looks at GTA4) from 2008... and that's at a 1366*768 resolution.
