You can get the 1st gen Pro heavily discounted right now.
The battery life is not the greatest, but you can now cheat with the power cover.
But like you said, a 12"+ Baytrail would be fantastic.

[1] Well the big problem is that the UI is an abomination, with the clunky obsolete desktop married to the slick, intuitive Metro interface. Having to flip between the two just to use Word is a sick joke.
I think the Surface is basically for the segment who either use it on a table like a computer or an iPad when it's not -- like me. The good thing is that there are lots of competing products that satisfy other use cases.
But isn't 16:9 more akin to a legal page than 4:3? ;)

YMMV, I guess. I'm primarily a Mac user, and I don't mind W8 at all. Keep in mind that the Metro version of OneNote is pretty bad. The desktop version of OneNote is leaps and bounds better. And because of that, you wouldn't have to mode swap to get into the desktop version of Word.
