Would I? Yes, indeed, ...
... if I were in need of a new Windows 8 PC. Instead, I bought a Surface-RT as a companion device.

It is clear that the Surface 8 Pro is a fully capable notebook replacement, and with a docking station and a larger monitor and a Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse, it becomes the perfect desktop system as well.

Since I have two more years of warranty left on my Dell Latitude notebook, it makes no sense to buy a Surface 8 Pro today. That said, their is value to using the Surface RT as a companion device when I don't need full all the bells & whistles. The Surface RT permits me to access my employer's Citrix environment so I can access all my critical applications and IE 10, and cloud storage meets most of the rest of my needs. Far better than my iPad or my Kindle Fire ever did.
