Just bought the Surface 32GB with Type keyboard and have enjoyed it thus far. I've spent probably 4+ hours on it. Sad to say that I noticed a dead pixel at the top left corner and it is annoying the heck out of me so off to the store tomorrow for replacement.
I also noticed a few other issues such as some flickering/flashing as well as when I tried to type in the autocomplete on google's page, it was slow to keep up with what I typed. This could be my Internet connection.. not sure.
Other than that, I love this thing. I really wanted to wait for the Windows 8 Pro Surface to come out in January but I wanted a Surface right away so I could begin developing for it. I suppose I'll hold on to this and use it for development & personal uses before selling it in January and getting the Win 8 Pro Surface.
Pluses I thought were obviously the keyboard, the kickstand and being able to have two applications side by side.
Cons were the dead pixel I had on top left of screen, some jittery/flash/flickering and some unusual anomalies suck as the stock of the company now showing up in the Finance app after I just added it. I had to kill app and restart it in order for it to show... Interesting enough, I wonder if this was an "enhancement" considering the stock I was adding was AAPL.
I understand a first version of anything will have some issues so I'm not worried about future patches fixing some of the odd things. The hardware is a work of art. Very solid, sleek and enjoyable to use. I think Microsoft has done a great job. They are about 80% there and will be rock solid by version 2.
