Are the keyboard options significantly improved? After reading Gabe's reaction to the original Surface Pro (and as an artist of sorts myself) I was determined to buy a Surface Pro but was stymied by the awfulness of the keyboard covers (which is silly, since it was the stylus that attracted me, but if I'm getting a do-everything machine, I expect to do everything on it), which I found less useful than the iPad's "glass keyboard". So far, there are some Sony convertible tablets that almost seem to make the grade, but that's about it.
