I still use a notebook computer (formerly called a laptop computer) and wouldn't dream of using anything else. But the only difference between my computer - a Lenovo Ultrabook - is that the keyboard stays attached to the tablet. I'm not thrilled with the Windows 8 'Metro' interface but I recognize that it's a first draft of something that will get better (and it's already more flexible than anything Apple ever produced). And after using the heavy clunky MacBook Pro for a few years, the Ultrabook is like a breath of fresh air.  So while I may not be as enthusiastic about the Surface Pro 2 as Jim Shimabukuro I can certainly understand his point of view.
