The Surface - Is it a rival to the iPad?

Microsoft unveils 'Surface' tablet to compete with Apple's iPad | Fox News

Basically, it is a 1.5 lb tablet with a keyboard built into the cover. It will run full blown Windows 8. So this is basically my HP Slate, thinner, lighter, faster with a better screen and interface.

I am not sure this is a rival to the iPad. It seems more like a rival to the super thin, super portable notebooks.

Thoughts?
