Well there is me. I wanted a dev machine that I could use as a desktop, laptop or occasional tablet. I ended up with a Sony Vaio Duo which is pretty good at what I want.

Or there is my (leaving) boss who has a laptop, desktop and iPad but is now going to a W8 tablet, probably a Surface Pro or Helix.

Or there is my (incoming) boss who has a desktop and an android tablet but would prefer a single device.

When I show my Duo off to people, no-one has said "what a bad idea". What they have said is "how much" and "can I have it".

While the surface pro itself may not be the right device, there are a lot of people who would like a good convertible device.
