Be careful.

Many reviews say it is underpowered, sluggish and slow.

Trading software needs a more powerful CPU than the Surface has.

Well Surface 2 Pro is imminent. MSFT event on 23rd. Rumored to ship with release of windows 8.1 on oct 18.

Haswell chip

8gb

8 hrs of battery life.

Bring it!

Is anybody going to buy this?

It has a rubberized touch keyboard that acts as a cover, but there is also a tactile keyboard available. Can the tactile keyboard also act as a cover or does it have to be detached?

The techies seem to think it is a pretty good tablet, but I don't see them calling it an ipad killer.

Well that new docking station with the surface pro 2 looks like an ideal trading desktop solution.

Does anyone know if IB's TWS could be run on the Surface Pro 2?

If you REALLY want to go that route, there is a thinkpad helix already.
