The Surface Pro that I was playing around with at Best Buy last night only had 12GB of free space. I looked and it only had around 300MB of applications that could be uninstalled to free up some space.
I actually was pretty impressed with the Surface Pro but seeing I would have purchased the 128GB model and the keyboard cover it would have been around $1120. Pretty expensive for a tablet. I then saw the Dell XPS 12 and was more impressed with it over the Surface Pro. Having he benefit of a tablet and a laptop all in one was pretty appealing.
I'm still trying to figure out what they're trying to sell in the Surface Pro commercials. Apparently if you buy one your office will be magically transformed into break-dancing hipsters that don't actually do any work.
It's nice hardware, they just keep making all sorts of stupid stuff like leave no significant space for users on the entry level model.
At $1120 there are a lot of nice options out there.
I think must be a devinchi type code that you must be younger than 25 to understand.

Nah, everyone under 25 dreams of a job where everyone is cool, does not work and gets paid in buckets of money....

I finally received my test Surface Pro at work today and so far I am pretty impressed with the speed. I can't believe how fast the thing boots and shuts down. The Surface boots faster than my i7 desktop with a SSD installed. The device itself seems pretty clunky but overall I am happy with it so far.
Yeah the Pro is a little thicker than the RT Version but overall it seems to be a great device. There are plenty of others to choose from as well for home use or work the Samsung Ativ Smart PC are nice and thin as well. I used those before and ASUS has some new tablets out as well ASUS Vivo Tab & Asus Vivo Tab Smart. Dell, HP, Acer has some new tablets as well but have not had the chance to try those out yet.. But right now I'm looking at the Surface Pro or maybe the Samsung but the ASUS not too bad either but I will have to try one of the ASUS out first. Either way one of those 3 I plan on getting the wife to use. But congrats on getting the Surface heck might have to see if I can get one for work..

Perhaps a really nice tablet could serve as a desktop being able to hookup to a monitor/TV, the new ultra portable computer replacing the laptop.

This Panasonic device at 20 inches is not a tablet. It's too big to be used as one.
Calling it an all-in-one doesn't have the marketing appeal of tablet though.

Id think it depends on the specs, key for me in that distinction is self contained power, and without a stand is debate between a tablet and a tabletop, lol.

I suppose you could call it an all-in-one with an integrated UPS.
