My DIL loves hers. The one disadvantage I have heard about it is that it won't "sit up" very well, like a laptop. So if you really do want to use it on your lap, it's more difficult. It has a little extension on the back that is supposed to stabilize the screen and make it sit up, but some say that only works well when you have the Surface sitting on a solid surface, like a desk.
I sit on the couch with my laptop watching TV and reading email and stuff, and I'm not sure this would work well under that condition. But I am really drawn to the Surface and hope you will report back if you get one.
