I think, that's a bit harsh.
When holding Surface Pro in my hands, it really feels heavy and bulky.
I explicitly say "in my hands", as I rarely hold it in a single hand.
But still, if I compare specs:
Surface Pro = 907g.
Your Acer notebook = 1.3kg.
MacBook Air 11" = 1.08kg.
Same for the measurements.
Meaning:
If we would hold our notebooks in our hands like tablets, they would be even (way) bulkier and heavier than Surface Pro.
So Microsoft obviously did a great job re. weight and measurements, but there's simply a limit to it.
Question is, whether it's an acceptable compromise or not.
Each has to answer this on his own.
If I look at the passengers on the train, many probably don't have any need for Surface Pro. Their lighter and smaller iPads, Kindle Fire HDs and such do the job (most only do easy tasks on their tablets, like wathcing movies, surfing the web or answering emails).
But personally, I wouldn't want to miss Surface Pro anymore.
But as I said in the thread before: I'm always using numerous gagdets.
Would I go for s single unit, it would be really tough to decide...
