I’m a professional writer with hobbies in art and gaming…and an enthusiastic Surface Pro owner. I have played honest-to-God, full PC games while killing time on an international flight. The thing basically stands in perfectly for a normally $3000+ Cintiq drawing tablet. And I have a fully functional series of different writing programs that I can toss in my purse and cart to the local cafe without any trouble at all, without having to settle for an appy interface. The keyboard is great. The setup and Windows 8 learning curve only took me about an hour. I tossed a big microSD card in the thing and haven’t had storage problems since. Believe me: like lots of writers in their 20s I’m as poor as they come but I would buy this thing again without any hesitation.
The complaints I’m hearing in this thread really seem to originate with the user. Not the device. At the very least, they don’t resemble my experience with either the marketing or the functionality of the device at all.
