Great complement to the Surface Pro.

The Touch Cover is the ideal complement to the Surface Pro. It feels and types like a normal keyboard and transforms the Surface Pro tablet into a laptop. In my opinion, if you buy the Surface Pro, you need this accessory.

What's great about it: Adds a full-on keyboard to the Surface.
What's not so great: Touchpad is sometimes unresponsive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great all-in-one combination.

The Surface Pro 128GB is a great all-in-one device that doesn't ditch performance in lieu of portability. I bought it because I wanted something that would be very small and light, but still offer me a complete desktop/laptop experience from a performance perspective. With a TypeCover, the Surface becomes a super small laptop that has the ability to switch to tablet mode at a moment's notice. Clearly, this is the future of computing.
Most strict tablets (i.e. iPad) offer a fantastic tablet experience, but the moment you want to use it for something other than surfing the net, reading, or watching videos, it becomes a royal pain. The Surface IS a full-powered laptop (it is quite fast and robust), but its excellent touch-screen display makes for an adequate tablet if you want to take a break from work and just mull around for a while.
The only thing I wish it offered is better battery life to avoid range anxiety. It will average around 4-5 hours of normal use, but something in the 8-10 range would be perfect for full-day usage. As it stands, I carry around a pocket charger just in case I need a little extra juice to get me through my work day.
Aside from that, the Surface Pro does the job. It's so small and light that I don't need to carry around a separate laptop bag and massive power brick, and it lays a great foundation for the future of computing.

What's great about it: Full-laptop performance with Windows 8, decent tablet utility.
What's not so great: Battery life could be better.

Do you have to use a keyboard like this with the Surface?
I just bought the Surface yesterday online here but didn't get keyboard yet. Do you have to have a keyboard to use the surface or can you just type in on the tablet on the touch screen? Are these the only keyboards that work with the Surface? I picked up a keyboard/w cover today that is blue tooth driven and wondered if I can use it since with the Surface? It says it works with iPad but didn't say anything about Surface but if the Surface has Bluetooth will it work. Does Surface have Bluetooth?
The surface has a touchscreen keyboard that you can pull up at any time. You do not need a physical keyboard, but they are useful on a device like this.
Any Bluetooth or USB keyboard should work fine.
