When I get a new piece of technology, weather is is a cell phone, new software, a television or a computer I usually have one of two reactions: Either I start hating it immediately or I am in absolute love. Usually the more expensive the computer is the more likely I am to hate it.
I LOVE the Surface. Granted I did splurge for the most expansive model but it's functions are amazing.
The machine is FAST. 14 seconds from shut down to restart. The optional keyboard is well worth it as it works extremely well. The battery life (so far) is as advertized. About 9 hours
