I have been wanting to give another tablet a try after getting rid of my iPad. I liked the iPad hardware but the device was too hobbled in regards to file management (IMO).
A couple of days ago, I played with a Surface 2 at my local Staples and was pretty impressed by it and its type cover. The touch interface, which isn't particularly nice on a desktop computer, was pretty cool on a tablet. I also liked that is has a micro-SD slot for storage expansion.
Perhaps the only thing I don't care for it that Microsoft is only allowing Metro apps for ARM into their app store. That seems a bit one-sided considering that they are bundling non-Metro Office apps with the device.
I have an 8" Dell Venue Pro, and it's pretty nice. It was cheap as hell, and the only issue I have with it is that the screen is too small for the resolution. Anyway, it's great for consuming media but not so great for creating anything.
I have a feeling the 11" Venue Pro would be the same way. The Windows touch keyboard is really awkward, it's hard to select small things like browser buttons, and there aren't a lot of apps. But hey, it's pretty cheap, and it's great for watching Netflix or preparing a simple document.
