>> I think that it is safe to say that the Surface is a failure. But that doesn't mean it should be killed, just fixed. As a Surface Pro 1 owner, it looks to me that the Surface Pro 3 has fixed just about all of the things I find lacking in the Surface Pro line. It's still not enough to make me upgrade yet, but that's mainly because my Surface Pro has enough horsepower to last me some time. >> Apple's iPad is a clear winner in the high end If you're a heavy tablet user, it is. The thing to note, however, is that tablets are getting pressure on two fronts -- the computer side (things like the Surface and touchscreen laptops) and even more so on the phone side (phablets). I only have a 4.5" screen phone, but that's already caused a sharp decrease in my desire to use a tablet. If I had something along the lines of a Galaxy Note 3, I probably wouldn't even bother with something like an iPad.
