Overpriced compared to What? an iPad??? Could I use an iPad as a Desktop? Does it have anywhere near desktop computational capabilities? Are there any desktop app that will run on an iPad. Didn't think so. I actually own an iPad 3 and find it totally useless.

And Google??? Good luck with that. Even if I could get past their privacy policy I can not get past an inferior OS.

I will be using the Surface Pro as my main Desktop system connect to three 1200x1920 24" displays.

I priced building a desktop machine with and i3 mobile processor and no OS and it was about $700 buying the parts from Newegg or Amazon.

An i5 mobile processor would add $100 and Windows 8, idk, at least $100?

The way I see it the 10" display is free perk. And when I travel for an extended period of time I take my desktop machine with me. Just the side panel to my current Dell desktop weight 7 pounds. I know this because I leave the side panel home so the weight does not go over 50 pounds for the CPU.
