Surface is the device I would like to have to replace my desktop (the true one). I already experience a Windows Slate when I'm on the move at the University (and in my campus, I'm not alone at all among the teachers) but a slate can't replace a true table for working in my home desktop.

Surface2 PixelSense is really amazing !

I'd love one to use with a custom version of Lightroom that would read pics from my memory card and allow me to do some quick culling, tagging and maybe even PP. And with Gorilla Glass you could actually use it as a living room table without having to worry too much about it getting broken. Awesome tech, though I don't see it replacing my desktop.
