Is it worth buying a Microsoft Surface?

I want to ask for a Microsoft Surface for Christmas. I'm a tech-savvy person feel drawn to the touch cover component and the fact that you could connect a printer through the USB 2.0 port. I don't really care much about the Windows 8 Pro coming out next January because I don't really need a slightly stronger (technically and visually).
Personally, I'm sick of Apple products because my family has so many of them (iPhones, iMacs, Macbooks) and have not worked with Android tablets.

I don't know too much about the Surface, but I heard from a few people that it was very slow and in general just didn't work well. You can look up lockergnome on youtube and watch his videos about it, they're very informative. He really hated it to the point where he made a video re-boxing it and returning it to microsoft. But this is just one guy, you should look into it more and more importantly, go to a store and test it out. Hope this helps.
