I'm pretty certain I'm going to buy a WinRT Surface; not because I want or need a tablet, but rather to have a new 'gadget/toy'. I can't decide whether or not to go with the touch or type cover... I know, I know...
What are your opinions? What are you going to go for?

I am personally probably gonna get a Windows 8 laptop and then a Surface RT. Already own a Windows Phone.
Trifecta. Trinity. Etc Etc ;)
Triforce! :)
Covers are magnetic and interchangeable. Why not buy both?
I was thinking: Both.
Depends on how much you plan on typing on it. The type is bulkier, but faster to type than the touch.
I personally want the touch.
I would like a chance to try them out. I doubt either is any good for typing on, though obviously better than the on-screen keyboard.
I'm more interested in using the Surface as a tablet and docking to a proper keyboard/mouse/monitor, so I guess the keyboard is not that important to me.
Touch. It needs to be as mobile as possible, if I'm going ARM.
Good point!
Touch and maybe type a some point. Red for sure
I think I'd like the touch type, but it depends on what reviews say. Seems like it's touch type if you want the slimmest version and normal type if you want better typing experience.
Ill probably get the Touch just because it is thinner.
I've played with other win8 slates and bluetooth wireless keyboards make them great: for totally random reasons I used an appl ebluetooth keyboard with one. Worked great. Unless you're really brutally crunched for space, get things that work well. I'll get a touch cover for my tabl8 pro.
What I'd like to know about Surface is where they will be available for purchase. I'm in Singapore and would like to buy both versions.
The one question (of many) that I have not been able to find a definite answer to, is the keyboard an optional extra or does the Surface RT come with the touch keyboard included?
Waiting for hands-on reviews to see how each one works.
