Microsoft Surface Pro Is a Hefty Tablet and a Lightweight Laptop - Walt Mossberg - Personal Technology - AllThingsD

Excerpt from one of many Surface Pro reviews over the last 24 hours; see Microsoft Surface Pro gets tough early reviews (Reuters) and Surface Pro review roundup: fast/fat, cool/compromised (Computerworld) for review round-ups
"I like the original Surface and see it as a tablet with the extra benefit of some Microsoft Office programs. However, I am less enamored with the Surface Pro. It’s too hefty and costly and power-hungry to best the leading tablet, Apple’s full-size iPad. It is also too difficult to use in your lap. It’s something of a tweener — a compromised tablet and a compromised laptop."
