And start looking at the acer iconia w700. I've just received mine today from scan and first impressions... i'm well impressed! beautifully made hardware, full hd screen, aluminium chasis, ten point multi touch, core i5, 4gb ram, 128gb ssd, I could go on. I've been waiting for the surface pro, and although the form factor is smaller than this, i'm glad I've got the slightly bigger screen that the iconia offers. Also the iconia comes with a case / Bluetooth keyboard combo, which i'm typing this on now.

If anyone wants me to give more info on anything in particular, let me know. I have this model http://www.ebuyer.com/444440-acer-ic...c-nt-l0qek-002 (cheapest available at the moment)
