Did not want one till I saw it in person

Wow, the Surface is a really nice device! I wanted one until the prices drove me away but I finally saw one in person at one of the pop up MS stores and I was very impressed. I want one for sure now, but not at the asking price so I'll just wait some more. Maybe I can figure out how to get one through work, have to wait and see.

I did have performance issues with it though, playing jetpack joyride was so choppy as to be unplayable. I play this on my desktop in Windows 8 with no issues but it was truly horrible on the tablet. I might wait for a gen 2 tablet and see if better performance helps some. It was not really noticeably fast to me, but apps and app loading are not really fast on my i7 desktop either so who knows.

This is exactly why I've stayed away from major malls this weekend. I know as soon as I see one I'm going to want to buy it and I just can't afford it right now.

Heck Panos single-handedly made me want one just from his part of the keynote presentation.
