I am very interested. For reasons I won't get into here, I am thinking of getting one for my son to use in school. OneNote is awesome and could almost completely eliminate the need to carry a big binder around.

Pricing aside, the Surface makes much better sense to me than a laptop. A fair bit more compact and lighter. I assume it will 'boot-up' almost instantly like an iOS device and no moving parts in a hard drive. And then the ease of using a touch screen.

Can't wait to see what the pricing looks like for the pro models. Though I can't see how it would replace my desktop - at least for now. Not sure I could deal with the tiny screen vs. my two 23 inch monitors (not sure I could ever go back to a single screen).

Plus, even at 128gb, not sure that would be enough storage. Guess I could rethink my strategy on what gets stored where. Though, I do admit having a touch screen PC that you can easily carry around is intriguing.
