Yes, everybody's needs are different. With my RT I no longer need a laptop. I do still need a PC. Some people have trouble making that distinction. Where I used to have a tablet and a laptop, now I have a Surface and a desktop PC. Doesn't seem much different on paper, but in reality it's a much more powerful and convenient setup for me. And the total cost was a bit less than a Surface Pro w/keyboard.

Some people will still have a need for the Pro, but probably not as many people as who think they need it.
