At $500 they’d be beating me off with a stick (assuming it delivers what it needs to deliver – nice screen, WiFi, etc). At $1000 they can add it too the long list of failed Microsoft hardware along with smart displays.

A 7 or 8″ tablet with an optimized windows running off a small hard drive which allows standard PC software to run would suit my needs very nicely.

I think the top image is more realistic than the mock ups where the LCD covers almost all the surface – although I wish the case above the display were a little thinner.
