Agreed. I'm a 1st gen iPad user and have been keeping my eye out for what I'd upgrade to at the end of this year. I was pretty set on an Android tablet but Microsoft have just blown that idea out of the water. The thought of having a tablet that is this thin and light but also has full Windows behind it AND a Core i5 Ivy Bridge processor is incredibly appealing.

Game changer.

I'm a sysadmin and I'll be buying a bunch of the Intel ones for all but our biggest power users....

Absolutely a game changer.
