I think they priced themselves out of the market.

What market, though? This isn't an iPad, it's a full machine. Agree that they're not doing a great job of communicating that, though. Calling them both Surface may have been a bad move.

But people are going to compare it to an iPad or other Windows notebooks (in the ~600 range) rather than an ultrabook, I think.

Calling them both Surface may have been a bad move.

True, but par for the course for the same company that uses "Windows" to describe the OS in everything from a data center to a cell phone.

What market indeed. There has been no market for the hybrid laptop/tablet.

If the pen input is comparable to that of a Wacom tablet, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Its closest competition sells for $2,200 in Sweden.
