Hi there
actually having SEEN and TRIED a surface RT tablet I was reasonably impressed with it (and I'm not a tablet lover).
Once you start adding things like internal storage cards, a USB port (the new Ms PRO tablet has a nice fast USB3 Port too) you can really do a lot of things you thought only a "Computer" could do.
Having physically TOUCHED and TRIED one of these I've changed my whole idea about tablets etc. - The thing is they have to be decently powered, be light and thin and be USEABLE for more than just a few emails, netsurfing or being on "Farce book" or twitter etc.
The Pro tablet I suspect will be HUGELY popular when it appears in January 2013 or so -- W8 works just fine on this type of device.
Both the Ms tablets do much more than an Ipad and I'm looking forward to the PRO version.
I'd still keep the laptop for Photoshop etc. though.
Ms's sales of the RT tablet have already beaten expectations even in these recessionary times -- -- that will make the success of the PRO tablet guranteed.
Don't sell your Ms stock just yet -- if people like me actually LIKE these new devices (and I was always a hater of the original tablet form like the Ipad's etc ) then you can bet 100,000's of other will like them too.
Only if they are priced too high will Ms slip up with these -- even then you'll always find discounters who will unload stocks at a very much reduced price if they fail to sell at the original price.
