Dear Verge,
Let me first say that I read your review and watched the video review. Its unfortunate that the Verge was such a downer on this device. I am SOOOOOOO glad I DIDN'T take your advice or your review(s) that serious. See, I am a business professional, and like others that have bought this device. I know that there was more to the story. I could see the possibilities of this device having already owned a Ipad.. Microsoft should be given credit for not just developing a great device, but also for not being part of the "me too" crowd.

Think about it, here we are walking around with a full fledged pc in our hands that is not only well built, but fast a heck. Something is very wrong when your users rate a product well above your reviewer.
You can say this is not true, but one would think that you hope to see Microsoft fail. I say this based on the style of writing and the commentary in the video review.

In the end, the market will decide, but it seems the Surface Pro has hit a sweet spot if the demand reports are true.
