what is the different with Haswell version (pro 2)?
I'm having been waiting for pro version long time already. i'm not gonna waiting anymore. vmad.gif after pro2 then pro3... then that going to wait forever...  tongue.gif

Maybe 40% increase speed + more energy efficient? And probably have 256gb option. Yeah i know, if you wanna buy you might as well buy the latest one right? I have a feeling its around the corner. If Surface Pro launch earlier then it's different story la.

Just my 2 cents tongue.gif

Hi all,

i just purchased surface pro in Singapore. 
Sharing my input
1)it supports java and flash like a charm, viola, intranet etc will works.
2) Yes, it is a hot machine.  i didnt even open a lot of apps.  Maybe due to charging mode?
3) It is a powerful machine and the keyboard sticks perfectly, turn over the machine and holding the keyboard only, the tablet wont drop! good magnet there.
4) the HD screen is crispy eye candy.

important : My unit is faulty! After checking the internet it seems it is a common problem although not many.

problem : When charging, i will fell electric shock from the back.  This is important considering this machine is short on battery life and constant charging while using will be common.  I will be bringing my unit back to challenger for exchange.

cheers

ps:  when you buy, u probably should try charging it and run your hand behind the surface, if you feeling electric current vibrating, change it.
*
how much you buy after convert to RM ?

After you change to another unit. Maybe you can do us a favor, charge it to 100% and try do what you normally do. See how long it can last.

Update on 4/6/2013 at 10.30am: And we have a price! Our sources have just leaked us an update on the Surface Pro release this Friday, revealing that the 64GB and 128GB variations of the Surface Pro will retail at an estimated RM2,749 and RM3,049 respectively. That's a RM600 difference between the 64GB Surface Pro and the 64GB Surface RT bundle, which comes with a black Touch Cover.

Unlike the Surface RT, we understand that the Surface Pro will not be released in a bundle, so users who want a Touch/Type Cover will have to purchase those separately. With the Touch Cover retailing at RM379 and the Type Cover at RM409, it's safe to say that users planning on getting a Pro will be looking at prices from RM3,128 onwards (Surface Pro 64GB + Touch Cover).

The battery life is about 4 to 6 hours, depending on how you use it. Have not tried playing games on it though.

can you play Diablo 3 or GW2 on it smoothly? I think HD4000 can handle it pretty well, since low end Macs are using it hmm.gif

Anyone has tried wiping the recovery partition and restore the partition using USB drive? I don't know if I'm able to "recover" the recovery partition by just using the USB drive. There is a "repartition" option in the recovery menu, but I sincerely doesn't know if that actually reverts the recovery partition or just the C:

U can recover partition? I thought only can format partition ? Sorry long time never use Windows lol

Is this what you mean ?

Use a USB drive to format your PC instead of using disc.
