I don't have a Surface Pro exactly, but I do use a Dell Venue 11 for work, which is a more-or-less similar idea. As a laptop replacement, it's fine, as long as you're not writing up lengthy essays or anything. But a screen that size is not something you want to sit down to at a desk for long periods - invest in a separate monitor and a real keyboard/mouse for extended sessions at home.

That being said, I think you should consider whether you would actually USE the tablet functionality. Machines like that can work fine as a laptop replacement, but if you don't actually need the tablet part, an actual laptop ALSO works well as a laptop, and is considerably cheaper for comparable performance. And probably has a bigger screen (depending on what you get).
