Some people just love to be close minded. I think it's a wonderful option simply because the Surface Pro merges the ability to have the portability of a tablet as well as the computing power of a traditional laptop. It's not about wanting to run SL from anywhere (which is a stupid half thought out argument) but mainly about being able to minimize number of devices. I have been going through these threads to trying to figure the best option because I have decided I don't want another laptop. So thanks for your effort and add actual helpful commentary on the discussion.
