Any separate typing surface is superior to a touch screen surface. Touch screen keypads cover massive parts of the screen, force constant hand shifts, and constantly reposition content on the screen. Auto-correct and predictive corrections try to cover for problems that shouldn't exist. I fail to see how the review can be characterized as "meh". It comes off as guardedly impressed to me, and definitely looking forward to the next revision of the hardware. Hmm. Just saw a Surface commercial on TV while I was writing this. Looks like the war is a "go". Beneficiaries: Everyone.

Besides, auto-correct and predictive text can work with physical keyboards too.

  They're just not that needed there. Or maybe that needs getting used to and it must never get in the way of normal typing. Although, now that I think of it, Word has auto-corrected common typos for ages now and in more recent versions it never caught something it shouldn't have (unlike Word 97).
