What software do you use for note-taking? I also have a surface pro and am also very happy with it despite a few minor problems. For me there is occasional poor response to multitouch scrolling on the touchpad, and sometimes the cursor stops responding to the touchpad until I press escape. Also no middle click on the touchpad is annoying, no right ctrl bugs me, and not having separate pgup, home etc. keys is not convenient. Nowhere to put the pen when charging either. I hope at least some of these problems will be resolved by driver updates, e.g. nothing to stop Fn+F acting as Ctrl+F.
Despite the above, the specs, design and portability of the surface pro were better than anything I found when buying it . I get a tablet while still being able to work, which for me requires access to MS software including office. It's comparable with ultrabooks but with the stylus support and detachable keyboard it's just about in a league of its own, though some products are close nothing seemed as well designed, featureful or portable at the price.
I prefer the desktop version of OneNote, the app store version is neat, but missing some essential features. The type cover is not that great, but mostly I'm "docked", so it's not that big of a problem.
