I see the Surface as a great replacement to netbooks. I'm not sure if I'll get one yet, but a lightweight, small laptop that is not at all a pain to take with me anywhere is still a useful thing. I got a lot of use out of my 10" MSI netbook, and at 1.5lbs with a great keyboard/cover system, this could fit in as a nice replacement for that, without nearing the cost of a Macbook Air. The ability for it to double as a tablet for light internet browsing makes gives it some added value, as well. I think that a key market for this will be for people who could use a tablet and a laptop, but can't justify purchasing both a decent laptop and a tablet. Of course, as the price of a good Android tablet moves closer and closer to an ultra-affordable $99 price point, this advantage may disappear pretty quickly. It will be interesting to see how the market responds, and how much people enjoy using the hardware. It's different enough that it has a real chance to make a dent in the market.
