About the keyboard/cover.

You need to type pretty hard for the touch version. I am a pretty hard typer to begin with so it isn't really an issue for me, but for some people it might be problematic. I have heard that the other version is better, but will cost you an extra $40 or so, if you compare the pricing with the touch cover that is bundled with the Surface.

The more I use the Surface, the more I realize that with the right app support it will be a good device, but I don't think that Windows RT will have that support for a long time, if ever.
