You might consider it a bit pricey, but keep in mind that this is a tablet with the power and compatibility of an ultra-book. Comparing the Surface Pro with a Surface RT or an iPad doesn’t make sense, since they are on different categories. However, you can compare the Surface Pro to a MacBook Air or any Windows 8 powered ultra-book and when doing that you will notice that the price is not that bad.
