The document holder is a good suggestion.
But with USB host on the thing there is no need to spend for Bluetooth; any old USB keyboard should work.
Part of the hidden value in the surface tablets is you don't *need* a dock.
The basic $499 tablet can hook up to monitors and keyboards and hard drives without a dock. No hidden cost there beyond a USB host if you need more than one. A USB keyboard with built-in hub would be a good match for "homebase" desktop use.
