    I've been chatting about it on G+ a lot ... Instead of regurgitation ... I'll link this:

    My comments are in there. Bottom line? Win8? Fail. Metro? Fail. Surface? As is? Fail. Now ... if the hardware can be nuked and ICS put on it? Or Linux? Etc? Yeah, the hardware will sell - but not in the promotion of Win8/Metro.

    Yeah, I liked the hardware but I can't imagine reinvesting in another tablet platform after paying my dues with both Apple and Android.

    I know it does not mean anything to the masses but to me I find it makes a confusing mix up with Microsoft Surface tables

    I was mixed up by the common names of 'Surface' as well. At least they have renamed the Surface Table tech to something else.

    I can see an advantage in having the desktop and tablet machines on the same OS... But is it too little too late?

    the bigger question is will they be able to get it into a competitive price point?
