It's gonna flop. There. I called it.
We'll see what happens. It's not like Microsoft is in make or break mode right about now.

I'm sure they'll pull a play out of Asus' playbook and develop a new keyboard cover with an extended battery.

But, looking at things objectively, you're not going to accomplish what they're going for and still have room for a huge battery. Remember, the pro is a full fledged mobile PC, not a tablet... and it's only 1/2 thicker and 1/2 lb heavier than the Surface.

I'm not saying it'll be perfect, but nothing ever is, but I highly doubt it'll flop.
