Yikes, i want the best version!

The metro interface is simply the best ever. Love my Windows Phone and this tablet is a must buy!

damn i never wanted a tablet so much that i really bought one but that seems cool. btw did they show the keyboard with touch buttons and one with real buttons? was the one with real buttons to purchase separately or does the surface for windows 8 pro have this? or did i just dream of that keyboard?

I want one so bad!!! Please don't be too expensive.

As a gamer, I still have no idea why I would want this over any if it's competitors, or why would I want it over a PSV, am I missing something?

Why is this a big deal, it's just a tablet right? That's serious question, I have not formed an opinion.

no clue how to embed without the old embed code (don't get the option for that video)

so it's pretty much my current tablet PC in a better form factor.... if 599 for rt and at 999 the pro if people don't stop buying the rotten fruit company toys I'll become a monk.... now i can't wait what dev will do app wise....

never supposed to be a gaming device.... as a PC gamer get a desktop.... best bang for the buck here no question asked..... but if you want something portable but as powerful than mid range laptop in way more convenient to carry everywhere you really have only 3 choices right now.... samsung series 7 slate, the asus transformer and the mac book air..... now you have that with a serious fully fledged OS on a tablet no one else can prettend to that today.... so it makes it a big news... unless apple gets a real touch PC and OS they have just been beaten on the productivity front.... and well even though the samsung is win 8 compatible (not sure about the transformer) the form factor is of lower quality.... 

Thanks, sometimes I fail to see how stuff relates to me, but then other people get crazy excited like it's a revolution, so just wanted to understand a little bit.

If this thing is close to as good as the photos look, I'll be selling my iPad.

Is your PC literally only used for "core" (my emphasis) gaming? As such, then no portable device is probably justified to you as they don't do that.. yet.

As a general purpose laptop/tablet this is perfect. Especially with its obvious eventual massive integration with a desktop PC and for those with Xbox.
