This. The Surface Pro is a really decent machine and I don't have any complaints on how it functions as a laptop and 'workstation' (or whatever you call laptop+2 monitors+mouse+keyboard), but as far as tablet goes: the hardware is all there but the software is not quite there yet. The only tablet-y thing I do with it is tell it to never switch to tablet mode and then use the pen to draw and take notes. It does that really well btw (was one of the reasons I got it in the first place), but for the rest I don't see me using it as I'd use a 'standard' tablet. Not sure if it's me, I don't use tablest often, but when I try to do so on this thing I end up opening the desktop software anyway to get things done because the alternatives are non-existing or not good. And navigating typical desktop software with just touch isn't really cutting it.
