I have a Surface Pro. I got it because, to the rest of the world, it looks like a full-up windows computer rather than a tablet. With it, I can remotely log into my computer at work, which I can't do with an Ipad or Android tablet.
But being a windows machine, it has the normal windows pc style glitches. Mine was working fine at home. I went to my Mom's in Minnesota on vacation and it worked fine. Then I get back home and it says it has a good strong signal to my home network, but can't see the internet. I had to fiddle around and restore back to the configuration before the last update push and then manual reconnect it to my network before everything started working right again.
If you are going to get one, I would recommend holding off until Windows 8.1 comes pre-installed. My Surface was my first brush with windows 8.0, and the learning curve is sort of steep for a device I only use sporadically. You don't realize how much you use the Start button, particularly when you are trying to troubleshoot a problem, until it is suddenly gone.
