Would you shell out $1950 for a Surface Pro 3?

Microsoft released its newest line of Surface Pro tablets yesterday---the Surface Pro 3. Microsoft touts the 12-inch tablet running Windows 8.1 Pro as a PC and Notebook replacement. Microsoft maybe  right to an extent. I mean, it worked so hard this time around. Increasing, among other specs, the storage from 64GB to a massive 512GB. It has an 8GB RAM and you can surf the web with the Surface Pro 3 for up to nine hours.

Read Cnet's review of  the Surface Pro 3.  Great laptop-tablet no doubt, but the price of the device is far too expensive at $1950(that's nearly the price of a 15-inch 2.0GHZ Apple MacBook, which cost around $1999). Taking a look at the specs, would you pay that amount for a tablet?
