Smart, Versatile Surface Pro 3 Can Do It All — Maybe Even Lift the Windows 8 Curse [Yahoo Tech]

Final paragraphs of an extensive Surface Pro 3 review by David Pogue; I'm guessing the Microsoft product managers were pretty pleased with the review until they got to "There is one solitary time when Windows 8’s split personality is not a disaster, though, and this is it. The Surface is the one machine (so far) where Windows 8 makes sense."

"But if you own or carry around both a tablet and a laptop, then the Surface is calling out your name. There’s nothing like it.

It’s so much better than the sales figures would indicate. We, the buying public, are not giving it a fair shake.

If this marvel of engineering doesn’t lift the Microsoft hardware curse, I don’t know what its designers are supposed to do. Maybe join a self-help group with Cassandra and Sisyphus."
