I thought that Gabe's comments -- him being no MS fan -- were interesting specifically because of the detail he gave in why he uses the device and the use he gets out of it. I think that for all people like to think as one particular device as all things to all people, it's important to remember that most times, it pays to figure out what you intend to use the device for and find the best fit. For Gabe, the Surface Pro delivers the productivity he needs to do the strips. For me, my Touchpad gives me the basic Internet and comic- and book-reading that I need without me having to pay 4-5 times as much for another product. There is no "one size fits all device," despite what all of the manufacturers want us to think.
