two of my journalists friends came visit and the first thing they bought in the US was a RT. I tried to convince the to at least get the pro because i'm a sucker for what microsoft did with the wacom hardware price (i think wacom is the only company that profits more per device than apple)... but they all wanted 9h of office and the portability. nothing else.

i personally rather write in vim and output to latex... but to each it's own. I would have got a modern netbook with an extended battery and have 12hours of battery for writting on a decent keyboard.
