Happy with it? I've been thinking about buying Surface, but the price is high, and I'm thinking I need the Pro version, to get full desktop abilities.
Yeah, I'm happy with it. It's somewhat bigger that what I expected -compared to my brother's 7" Iconia it is a giant- but Windows 8 really shines on it. I think of it more like a laptop, specially because its size and the touck keyboard.
And speaking of the keyboard, I think it is its biggest flaw: sometimes the keys don't record your touch, and if you disable the key press sound you have to be guessing if you pressed the correct key, specially with the dead-keys (like shift, control or alt).
But all around I would recommend it. Sure, I won't write my thesis on it -that's my netbook's role- but it is quite nifty and easy to use.
