Still too high.  I can get a decent laptop at Microcenter for $350 and if I want to go small there are plenty of under $200 tablets.  The Surface looks and feels like what they used to call a netbook.  Those didn’t do so well in the market.  I can’t imagine doing real work on one of those.  It’s hard enough with a laptop.  The size of the QWERTY keyboard is a big factor in productivity IMHO.
