The Surface Pro is quite the device. It shows Microsoft really do have something incredible to offer the technology world, and they're getting it done before Google and Apple. My true overall rating of this device is an 8.5/10. It offers nearly everything I could ask for in a device this size. My only hopes is that in a second generation device, they slim it down just a little, find ways to further improve heat dissipation, bump up battery life a bit, and perhaps move toward something like an AMD APU chip internally. The HD 4000 integrated graphics are adequate, but for those that might want to run a few displays or play a few games, a stronger GPU would be fantastic, and AMD are getting it done the best in that department while still offering powerful-enough CPUs for an environment like Windows 8. Those are all my gripes, but nearly everything about this tablet satisfies me. What a great first generation product. I can only assume that a second generation tablet will be the crown jewel of mobile computing when they get around to it. Apple and Google wish they did it this well their first time out.
