I think it is a fair price. I think people were hoping for something around $700-800 like acer's Iconia 710. That is the device I am actually interested in. Not as light, but has almost the same features (minus the touch/type cover).

Only if you have no idea what you are doing, and then that means the same for OSX. I have been using computers since 98, and never once had a virus.

err.. wrong blog. *I wish Gizmodo would do that.

I wish LH would do a post about tricking your xbox to think you have a different cable provider. I have Time Warner (I know...I know..it's b/c my wife is a producer for them and we get free cable). However, the espn app does not recognize this, even though TW is on the list of providers. So I cant use the app to watch…

Yeah who wants a newly upgraded and more resource efficient OS with other added features.... Nothing wrong with liking windows 7. It was a great OS, but hating windows 8 because of one feature that is easily avoided would be equivalent to me thinking you're a total moron based off one comment on a LH post... That…

Dual Monitor set up. I know its not directly organizational, but it helps you multitask. Currently I'm rocking a crappy 19" Samsung LCD panel with 1440x900 pixels.

Troll much? I don't think I was being negative at all, just offering a simple suggestion for future posts. You sir, offered nothing useful or insightful in your comment.

I'm also aware HP used the same terminology, so LH is not to blame. I just thought it would be good for future reference.

Nice post, good info. The only gripe I have is the reference to the professionals as "nutritionists". All of the snack recipes come from Registered Dietitians (like myself). Calling them a Nutritionist is like calling a Registered Nurse a Certified Nursing Assistant.

The body is designed to run on sugar. Fat isn't the reason I omitted the bacon; it is more to do with the nitrates and sodium.

Vegetarian fed chickens don't receive animal bi-products in their feed which many cage fed chickens do. They are also known to have a better lipid profile (Higher levels of DHA Omega 3's) than conventionally produced eggs.

Microsoft should buy Adobe. Apple should buy AMD

Cage free vegetarian fed eggs in moderation are actually quite healthy. Replace the bacon with some green peppers, onions, mushrooms, diced tomato, and some skim milk cheese and you are doing all right :-)

I find it ironic, how both bash each other for lack of innovation. Then the last person in the world you would think to come with something truly new (Microsoft) drops win8 and the masses shun it because it's different. That is the point of innovation...

I actually agree. This device is designed to compete with the iPad. The Surface pro is designed to compete wth both ultrabooks AND the iPad.

+1 - Beat me to it. I have only seen people make similar comments like the one above. I bet not a damn one will try it with an Ipad.

This what I plan to do when I get a Surface tablet. I plan to give my Thin & Lite to my wife, upgrade my desktop for gaming/server duties, and rock the Surface Pro at work and on the road.

True, but you also have to factor in the cost of the Mobo in that equation. In my experience, Intel Mobo's generally cost more than AMD ones (if you look for similar feature sets that is).
