The Surface Pro got a rave review from Penny-Arcade: http://www.penny-arcade.com/2013/09/23/the-surface-2 http://www.penny-arcade.com/2013/09/23/the-surface-2 (seen on HN). I'm an Apple guy now, but if I were to do college again I'd probably opt for a Surface Pro 2 (with the Wacom stylus). The mechanical engineering course notes I've seen generated with OneNote look fantastic, plus the ability to search through them via handwriting recognition would be a great advantage over a stack of notebooks.
