I have ditched my work laptop in favor of a Surface Pro 2. I have two different offices I spend time at so carrying the laptop around (it was a pretty big f'r) was a pain, the Surface is so light and functional that I'm considering ditching the briefcase altogether for a sleeve or something - I just need the Surface, a small notebook, a pen, and my ID card. This Pro 2 is more functional than the laptop I was using, and with a dock in each of my offices, I don't carry the power around either - it sits at home for when I work from there.
Having said all that, I don't really see it as an iPad killer either. Different use cases - I still use my iPad at home to surf the web, watch NetFlix if the damn kids are using the TV, play Candy Crush (damn additive piece of crap cheating candy dropping chocolate producing sonnuva...) or whatever. I have zero games installed on the Surface, although I do have the Netflix client on.
By the way, for those that asked, typing on the type cover is good, the touch cover was meh.
