ReadWrite also likes the Microsoft Surface Pro

Another good review on the Surface Pro. I still wonder how many of these will sell and almost as importantly -- what will they cannabalize?

For someone who works with text for a living, the digital ink capabilities Microsoft included within the Surface Pro were impressive, with the digitizer reflecting different levels of pressure with lines of varying thickness. The Fresh Paint app, which Microsoft bundles with the tablet, is revelatory: mixing two colors of "paint" together within a digital palette, then painting across a textured canvas, should amaze adults and children alike.

Two years ago, I would have found it difficult to believe that I could work professionally without a loud, buzzing PC minitower squatting on the floor next to my desk. I still find myself longing for the comfort of a discrete graphics processor that some vendors include in higher-end notebooks. But the truth of the matter is that the Surface Pro is becoming a viable alternative. It just remains to be seen whether consumers and businesses will want to pay $900 - and up - for it.
