Windows Surface Pro arrives on February 9

We posted our initial review of the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet a couple days back. Today, Microsoft has announced that the Surface Pro tablet will be released on February 9.

The 64GB version will cost $899 and the 128GB version will go for $999. The keyboard cover costs $99 extra. Many people believe that the Surface Pro is priced too high for a tablet, but they don't understand the fact that it isn't an iPad or Galaxy Nexus competitor; it is a full-blown computer. In reality, it is more reasonable to compare it to the MacBook Air.

One thing is for sure -- the Surface RT tablet, released last November, will be completely forgotten about. Sales for the Surface RT have been underwhelming and many users don't want a dumbed-down version of Microsoft Windows. The Surface Pro will run a full version of Windows 8. It really has the ability to change the computing industry.

What are your feelings about the Microsoft Surface Pro. Do you think it is overpriced? Would you buy one? Tell is in the Comments section.
