I have a surface pro and am pretty happy with it. I compared to a lot of rival tablets and products and it was basically the only one with the combination of features I want: supports extra screen, keyboard, runs Windows / Office apps so I don't need separate device for work, 1080p, touch screen (stylus a bonus). Battery life isn't a major issue for me as I'm plugged in most of the time and it lasts more than double my previous laptop unplugged. It's price competitive with laptops of a similar specification but more flexible.
Surface RT I don't consider competitive. But the Pro is the reference device for Windows 8 and nobody was doing it as well when I looked. They should have a market position there at least.
I think Windows 8 is a bit misguided in design - it's a step backwards not being able to resize apps on a laptop resolution screen, but using it as traditional windows works fine.
