The keyboard greatly increases my interest. We have an iPad, but I can't say that I enjoy using it that much. Typing on it seems awkward. IMHO it's ok for light browsing, but I do a lot of copy/pasting, and I really dislike the way that you copy/paste on it. Actually, that's why I still prefer a mouse to a touchpad.

I suppose most of my computer use consists of writing, so it's pretty often when I am using an iPad that I am reminded of what I can't do. Also, I'll sometimes switch from the iPad to my phone, because I want to make a note of something, or take a map route with me.

I think I'd do some Hubskiing with Surface. The UI will probably be much worse than the iPad, however. :/
