I just picked up my preorder unit, 256GB storage and 8GB of ram.
This device is a revelation. There is nothing like it on the market today. If you're someone that wants one device that splits tablet/laptop duties then this is it. It will replace all of the devices in your bag.
I'm simply floored at how awesome every aspect of the device is. Kickstand rocks, 1080P screen is beautiful, type cover 2 is SO easy to type on, speakers are great, battery life is now 8 hours and STILL GOING on the first charge. Performance blows pretty much any tablet out of the water today and is competitive with any modern $1000+ ultrabook. The talk about the weight is overblown. You're not going to be holding this device one handed or in portrait mode, it's absurd to think that a 16:9 tablet would ever be used in portrait mode. This device is meant to be used on your lap or on a flat surface, period.
METRO interface is downright beautiful when apps are done correctly and utilize split screen capabilities effectively. I can do SO MUCH more on this device in tablet mode compared to any other tablet on the market. As the app store begins to flesh out people will realize that maybe MSFT made the right gamble all along to unify their tablet/desktop OS so early in the game.
Honestly, all of the tech reviewers got it wrong. They simply did not know how to review this device. Microsoft hit it out of the park. I'm fucking loving this thing.
Let me know if you guys want any videos/pics of anything in particular.
