But 12" might be a hair too small for me (have 13.3" and think it's about perfect)...rumors are there will be a 14" Surface Pro 4. It's kind of remarkable what MS has been able to do with this when you compare it to top ultrabooks, which despite the added bulk don't have more ports, better battery life or even in many cases better keyboards.
How do you like the keyboard? I'm thinking I'd get a bigger/sturdier bluetooth keyboard (which is still plenty portable to go in a computer bag). The dock is also nice, but not a fan of its portability nor the fact it doesn't have adjustable viewing angles.
I'm also looking at a tablet, and even with the 14" I might not need a tablet (though I can't imagine lugging the Surface to the gym to watch tv on the treadmill - too much money in that thing to risk a drop). But with the stylus features it might lead me to a different tablet.
I quickly fell in love with my Surface. I was concerned about the screen size, but I have the even smaller non-pro version and it works out really well for me. The keyboard I have found to be surprisingly sturdy, but I haven't really put it through the ringer yet. I am going to get the dock when my wife upgrades and keep it in our office, connected to a full keyboard and monitor for use when we really need the full setup.
