A friend of mine has a Surface Pro, and I have a not-insignificant amount of envy. It's the first time in almost 20 years that I've looked at a Windows laptop and felt it was in any way ahead of Apple. Great design, and it doesn't have the inevitable pointlessly-cheap compromises that plague every other "high end" Windows laptop. Of course, it's still Windows underneath. Sooner or later, I'd get tripped up by the pathetic reality of 8.3 case-insensitive filenames buried in a not-deep-enough grave.
