User experience with MSOffice on Windows Surface RT tablet?

Microsoft is dropping the price for the 32 GB Surface RT to $199 this weekend. I have always been interested in these due to the claim that they run office. I am a student and MUST have Excel, Word, and PowerPoint on my portable device.

I have a 17" laptop and an IPad right now. On days when I need my laptop at school to work on Excel or PowerPoint, I dread carrying that big thing around. The IPad productivity apps just don't cut it because they have a quarter of the functionality and are difficult to use on the touch screen.

I am hoping that the surface can fill in for the laptop when I need it at school. I am willing to take the chance at the $199 price point, but I was looking for information from people who have actually used Office applications and can tell me if they really work.
