Microsoft Surface Pro

Hi.  Has anybody purchase or tried this ultrabook/tablet hybrid?  I played with it and love it.  I though about purchasing online during its launch but it said its out of stock.  I am planning to go back to college while working, so having a very portable laptop will be perfect for me.  I am fully aware about the whole 2lb and 4.5 hrs, but I am not super wimpy that I wont be able to lift 2 pounds, and I don't see myself typing in the park for 5 hours on my lap.    So with the keyboard and the mouse, this will run me approx. $1200.  Should I bite  and purchase this, or wait it out around Fall semester and see if there are better alternative.  I heard rumors that Microsoft might do a second generation with Haswell.P

PS.  I really do not want ARM or ATOM cpu.

I think only the 128GB model is out of stock, the 64GB is still in stock and i suggest purchasing a 32GB microsd to expand your storage as you will need it. I'm a Surface RT owner myself and it's really durable since i move it around at school a lot.

A few days ago I finally made my decision and bought myself Surface Pro, and I think its a pretty nice computer to have.  Its an ultrabook that looks like a tablet, and I really like the OneNote.  I still do not understand the negative comments on the other sites.  Like being too small, or being too heavy -- which I think its light compare to other laptops I worked with in the past. 

Reviews are saying that it is pretty heavy for a tablet and how the internal fan ramps which becomes audible when performing certain tasks. My opinion on  the Surface Pro is it is a great powerful tablet that can be basically do nearly anything but it just has minor issues there and there that lets it down. 

Well if I compare this to an Ipad or Kindle, sure its heavy, but not heavy that its going to bother me when I hold it for too long (I am not a big person, BTW), and that pretty much convince me to get this as my new laptop.  As for the fan, so far its pretty quiet.  Lately I am starting to believe that the negative reviews are biased. I played around it for more than an hour at the Microsoft Store Kiosk, and I think its a good device for me.  I didnt try out installing one of my PC games, and I am probably not going to -- I do not want to be distracted when I am at work or in school.

You could be right on the bias review, also how's the battery life?

So far its pretty descent, roughly 5 hours, mainly because I conserve my power as a precaution.  I haven't done any resource-intensive programs yet.  I did noticed it gets warm when I put it inside my sleeve forgetting to turn it off, but not super hot.  But most of the time I have no problem being near an outlet, so I haven't experience of hunting for an outlet to recharge yet.  Also whenever I don't use it, i just power it down, because turning this device on is instant, making the sleep mode unnecessary.

ok i have been doing alot o excel and OneNote here at work, and i noticed it does get hot, like it was sitting outside the sun.  This might be a problem if i hold it like a tablet.  but almost all the time i use it like a laptop/slate on my desk.

It would be quite interesting if you took a temperature reading from it when it gets hot.
