I've watched it again, and although "trashed" was an excessive word to use I felt that the reviewer only put in some positive comments because he had to. He was more physically animated when making the negative comments while his expression and body language dropped off when he was making the positive comments. Possibly too much pop psych there, but I reckon if you asked him about it over a beer he'd say he hated it.

I've got an iPhone, an iPad and a PC laptop. I use them all for different things and I see virtually no applications for them in the gaps between. About all I can think of is playing Angry Birds on your laptop. The things I can't do on my iPad that I would like to do involve the use of a mouse (writing DTP and PowerPoint), and apparently that's one of the worst things about the Surface Pro.
