I'm tempted by the idea of the Surface 3, and the formfactor appeals to me. Some thoughts / observations:
- display isn't daylight viewable --- I need that, 'cause I use my machine as a mapreader in the car, and to control my CNC mill when I use it on the deck.
- stylus isn't Wacom --- I really don't like the idea of having to find a source for AAAA batteries again, and finding somewhere in my laptop bag to store a spare so that it won't be lost
- I'd be far more interested if it were possible to run Mac OS X on it --- I tried using my Father-in-law's Windows 8 laptop over the weekend and once again, it enraged me to the point where I had to restrain myself from throwing it across the room (why would it be so difficult to open up an SVG in Chrome? I had to: open the graphic in IE (the default app), copy the filepath, open Chrome, then paste the filepath into the URL bar)
On the bright side, it should run Macromedia FreeHand/MX.
