Well those that care what you think? Ipad killer or a laptop killer or massive fail.

I don't really see what's so revolutionary about it. Technology will improve, and people with the money to blow will continue buying, but I doubt it's going to be a "laptop killer".

The Pro version is pretty exciting, since it actually runs a full-fledged OS. Price is everything, though.

Laptop killer? Uh, no. Laptops will always be more powerful than tablets, and desktops will always be more powerful than laptops.

Not to say that tablets aren't powerful or whatever, but I doubt they'll ever overtake laptops in any way.

There's plenty of people who don't care about power, and will pay more money for an inferior product.

Seems neat, still don't have use for a tablet though atm.

Honestly I'd go for this over a laptop if it wasn't for things like photoshop and the occasional game or two that I need my laptop for. This thing would be a facebook browsing monster!

The key will be if Microsoft can get the app backup that Google and Apple have. You can have the greatest tablet in the world and no one will give a flying *bleep* if it doesn't have apps.

Am I the only one that thinks people are starting to get way out of hand with these tablets? I'd rather have people work on making a better lap top than come up with these shit tablets.
