That's why I got the Transformer when it was on sale for $329. It is a great machine. Fast and flexible and the battery seems to last forever - they say 11 hours.The Surface Pro is a lovely device, but $1,000 dollars for it just seems to high for me when I spent almost $1,100 on my desktop rebuild.
The SSD is small but after installing Office and another dozen programs I still have 13.5GB of free space. All my user data is on the 64GB MicroSD card. I also put a couple of images on there - just in case. And should I ever need really large masses of data, I'll put them on my 128GB USB3 stick - I got it for $49.99. It is also good to run virtual machines off it.
I actually had the pleasure of working on one of those just recently. It's actually a very nice little PC. The only thing I had issue with was that it seemed as if a piece of double sided sticky tape was needed on the back left section of it as the case was able to be flexed in a bit. Not a big deal though. The speakers are lovely on that thing! Oh my gosh! That hands down takes the cake for best Windows tablet speakers!
If it had a Wacom stylus, I'd buy it for sure. It would match my ASUS motherboard.
