I own six PC laptops. I'd take the SPro to bed, the coffee shop or on a trip to read my books tablet style. On a trip I could even do real work on it --coding, writing, design, whatever-- and have access to, effectively Windows or Linux as required. I could install Dropbox and synchronize my work as required. During the same trip I could hand the sPro to my kids and let them log on to their own restricted account to play games --as a tablet-- without having to fear that they could accidentally destroy my work or email that business contact in Munich some gibberish. I could also hand the SPro around the table at a business meeting with the confidence provided by a restricted purpose-specific throwaway account t I created for that meeting that only provides access to the three documents I want them to see and not my Address-book, Meetup, LinkedIn and Facebook accounts. They also don't need to have access to my Chrome where they could gain entry into plain-text passwords stored in the browser. Again, I could go on. For corporate use it is an absolute no-brainier. |

If the SPro is anything like the SurfaceRT, its not a bed device; its just way too wide to be used in portrait or landscape while laying down. The non-wide screen iPad works much better in bed than a Surface (my wife and I have both, and we are always fighting over who gets the iPad).
