Would I be considered spoiled if I bought a MS Surface?

Q. Ok, So I'm 14 years old and am really into tech. Like I love technology and know a lot about it. I follow all the new stuff and pay attention to stuff usually no one cares about. In Dec. of 2011 I got a budget android smartphone for Christmas with a 200mb data cap which I pay $5 for every month. In March of 2012 my laptop finally gave out (my dad gave it to me for Xmas of 2010-it was his old one and was like 3 years old at that point) and I had to buy a new one because a computer is a nessesity with the amount of schoolwork I have online now. I paid for about $550 of the $750 it cost and the rest was a combined bday/graduation present from my parents. In late September right before a fam. vacation I bought myself a Nexus 7 for $250 and took it on vacation. On that vacation my laptop screen broke (long story- not really my fault though) and I had to return it in order to pay for a repair. Today I asked my dad to take me to the local MS store to check out the new surface tablet (not to buy- just to look at) and I loved them the first time I touched one. I started theorizing of ways to get one but I then realized how much stuff I have (smartphone, laptop) and thought it was kinda inappropriate for a 15 year old to have a $499 tablet (which is the cheapest version of the surface). I thought I would cancel my phone data plan and save the money I would have payed, I would also use $70 I have in my wallet to contribute. I would then try to sell a couple of my old ds games (no longer own the ds, all of them combined would probably go for $30). I would then take $150 out of my PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT (this is not a college fund/savings account). and ask for the rest for christmas and promise I will get exceptional grades. On top of all of that I would look for a used/refurbished one. (might take $50 off the top). But back to the point, if you saw a 14 year old who is really into tech that paid for his own budget android phone, $750 laptop, and a used ms surface would you think he is spoiled because thats the last thing I want people to think of me.
I harley think surface is the new zune....
I have used surface in the Microsoft store and I really like it. In fact with the introduction to Windows 8 and Windows phone 8 im leaving android

A. Pleased you didn't ask which new iPad you should get. The MS Surface does look good and it's nice it's got a proper keyboard of sorts, however cute is one thing and 500 bucks just cos it's cute tech is another. If you're honest with yourself you don't really need it and at least you have tried one. Another rule of thumb to work by is what a colleague of mine always says, never buy anything from Microsoft until Service Pack 1 is released.
