I agree Ted, this device will meet all your needs, and in the form of a tablet.

Here are a few more specs that was i able to find.

- It weighs about 2 pounds and measures 0.53 inches thick.

- Its 10.6-inch full HD display has a resolution of 1920 X 1080, when connected to an external monitor through Mini HDMI Port, the Surface with Windows 8 Pro supports resolutions up to 2560 X 1440.

- Full-size USB 3.0

- Micro SDXC card slot

- Micro HDMI Port

- No GPS, No 3G/LTE, No NFC (as we know of so far)

- They are using the Intel "Ivy Bridge" (Generation 3) Core i5 processor, while this is a very fast processor, it's X86 based technology is known to chew up power. The battery is rated for about 6 hours of heavy use and i can only see that getting worse with time.

I would imagine that the Pro has Bluetooth, so you could use a third party mouse and keyboard. Seeing that the Cover/Keyboard is around $120, it adds a hefty price tag to the consumer.

All in your looking at $1265.00

As much as i like the sound of this device, i will probably sit on the fence and see what the reviews are like after it is released. If sales are sluggish like the way they are with the RT, i can see price drops in February or March.
