He has a good point on the Office Updates - for some reason, those are accessible outside the tile environment. Sloppy.

He also has a good point on waiting for the Pro version for his personal situation - but I personally want a lightweight machine with longer battery life. Pro sounds awesome, but it'll cost more, weigh more and last shorter on its battery. As long as most of my apps eventually make it to RT, I'll be happy.

Even though I'm a massive Android fan, I feel that Surface is in many ways lightyears ahead of what Google has done for the tablet look and feel of their devices.
