Ask HN: What do you think of the new Microsoft surface?

I think that over the course of many many years I have learned to hold my opinions of Microsoft announcements until a bit after the product actually ships and has seen real-world scenarios.<p>The Microsoft marketing videos and events have traditionally done a poor job of conveying what the finished product will <i>actually</i> look like and do, or even if there will ever be an actual finished product at all.
