It's a shame b/c the Surface Pro (not the RT) is a great device. It strikes the right balance between a tablet and a laptop. In addition, it runs all Windows apps.
I think the biggest problems (and likely the chief barriers to better sales) are the price and the short battery life when compared with other tablets.

- MBCook 13y agoThe Surface Pro was really kind of cursed. It came out after the Surface RT, which was a confusing product that didn't meet expectations or match up well to the competition. It also became something of a poster child for Windows 8 which received a ton of negative press. Finally the decision to call them both Surface and have them be indistinguishable in hardware & interface was designed to create confusion.
