I must say I sat opposite someone on the train the other week and thought "what is that noise?". It turned out to be his Surface Pro. I'm not sure whether he was doing anything particularly intensive or just checking email, but the fact that it was audible above the typical noise of a train put me off ever wanting to buy one. Imagine trying to read or watch a movie in bed with that whirring going on!
