I'm looking forward to the proposed 2016 N7; my N7 2013 is still my daily
driver for most things even though I also own a Nexus 9 (mostly Netflix) and a
Shield Tablet K1 (ok, but... eh.)

I owned both a Surface RT and a Surface Pro 1.  Both were great pieces of
hardware, with crappy software.  The SP1 may be better now that Windows 10 is
out (8.x was a steaming pile, although the SP1 was the only system that its
forced-touch interface made sense on), but I sold it to a friend about a year
ago.
