I just picked up a couple for work, and I agree. Microsoft really did a great job with this device. I added the type keyboard and a mouse, and it is a legitimate laptop replacement with the added bonus of a tablet.

I can't stress enough how awesome it is to be able to run all of my normal x86 apps on this type of device. Being able to take hand-written notes in One Note is way cooler than I would have ever imagined!

Edit: Mike F's assessment is bang on, although I loaded VLC and a codec pack before playing mkv's, which worked perfectly. I guess that is the coolest thing, imo. I don't feel confined in what I am able to do now.
