They should include a black floppy with it to double the storage!

Bloatware to the extreme. That's what you get if you buy the most expensive tablet computer in the world.
As pointed out a slight error to the millionth degree there. 26 Thousand floppies if you're interested.
But the article may as well have said that for all the possible truths in it. There are only a few technology writers I pay attention to in the media. None of them mainstream.
As to the device some of the follow-up replies are close to the mark. You don't buy a device like that to store your media files on. Its a consuming/presentation device. You stream to it. As to the cloud streaming Full Hi Def content isn't really a viable option for most WiFi connections out in the wild. In the home yes. 3G and 4G Hi Def streaming is a joke as well.
The challenge for the Pro will be a result of its perceived benefit. Being x86 people will want to run their normal desktop software on it which do suffer from bloat.
But 23 GB is heaps of space for download Apps which are usually below the 50Mb mark in size.
When it all comes to it I'm sure there will be USB3 docks that offer 400GB/Sec throughput to storage, network and video. The trend now for docking stations.
And the Windoz x86 software base is moderately sized.. (;
Believe it or not you can actually plug in a $20 16GB USB3 stick into it and a folder of content opens before your eyes. Simple.
