    I am not surprised the Pro sells better than the RT model. The RT version of Office is cut down version of Office and crucially does not includes macro operation which is a big no to business use. Both versions are overpriced but price is not as critical for business users provided there is a perceived advantages for it use.

    I've use the Surface RT and like it and don't know why the critics didn't like the panel. Sharp and clear. I'll wait for the price to go down. The Pro needs some more features to shell out those funds for it. A tablet is not a laptop nor a netbook. It's a tablet. Later down the tech world when the newer panels come out that can fold-up into your shirt pocket those tablets would be more fun to carry around than current tech.

    Tablets will be faster have a lot of RAM and larger storage but again later down the road on that path of new tech technology..

    I have my Android tablets here you can do a lot but still again I still use my PCs more the desktop also the laptop and netbooks get more of a workout than the tablet does. To take the PC with you would be the tablet in the SUV which can be mounted up front or and the rear of the front seats head rest. If you have SUV with setting for 7 to 8 you can have all these tablets running media via WiFi storage or internet access via your cell phone tethering FoXit.

    So there are many uses for the tablet also can be used in the kitchen and bathroom. Wait up to the news from USA Today or watch Geekbeat TV and see what's new in tech world or view TechSpot reviews here.

    I as you can see there are many uses that the tablet can give you than what a Desktop PC can't too because of the size, keyboard, mouse, monitor. Laptop and netbook still has the keyboard. Sure the hybrid ultra laptop/tablet still has weigh on it (money).

    400.000 eh. Now imagine how many they could've sold and the profit they could've made if they sold them at a price that justified the purchase.
