I am looking into the new Surface. Didn't buy the old one due to battery lasting just a few hours. If it's the same with Pro 2, I shall skip it again. This is false. PS4 is coming to Malaysia and other Asia region in December not November.
Ooops, my bad, I remembered the dates wrongly.. But... doesn't change the fact that we getting it before Japan.
izit just me or the Surface announcements are very enterprise/corporate oriented?
MS using Nokia brand to target consumer markets? So meaning we may see smaller Nokia tablet devices (both windows 8.1 and RT) and probably another with the size of 10" running Windows 8.1?
It's probably because a Surface Pro is more likely to be used by professionals for work, rather than by the general consumer. And MS is trying to remind people that the Surface Pro is a REAL PC for REAL work.
Disappointed that there is still no LTE support. How to be productive without mobile broadband capabilities.
While I understand the convenience of a built in radio. How many people would want to take out another mobile plan in order to use it? Of course there's all the multi SIM plans offered now of course.
But then again, how well would the signal strength be? They probably have to cut a plastic hole or gap through the magnesium 'armour' to get better reception.
Yes, because it isn't an actual modem device that needs to install drivers onto the system, it just draws power from the USB port.
But.. there's a caveat to this approach. If you end up in a situation where there's a whole room full of people using WiFi sharing with their own phones or wireless hotspot, they'll crowd up the transmission air space and your WiFi sharing won't work.
So far this has only happened in ONE of my client's offices which is packed with many consultants and freelancers using wifi, it's very rare, but it's just something you should keep in mind.
also the 8gb ram is it a big diff?? for basic use, like surfing websites nad also occasional adobe illustrator to do some design editing as i am a designer
You'd want more RAM if you're working with larger illustrator files.
after upgrade to windows rt 8.1 , need to re download the apps from the windows store new apps I downloaded wont appear the shortcut on the metro start menu
anybody have this problem ?
there's a setting that you can choose NOT to add new apps to the start screen, can't remember where the setting is right now though.
Have you guys seen any problems resuming from hibernate? I just noticed that my Surface Pro has been failing to resume from Hibernate after the 8.1 update. Seems like I'm not the only one to based on the forums.
i am seeing the specs, i am not sure if the surface pro vs surface pro 2, has significant big diff in processor??
I am not particular on batt life, I am only getting 128gb + 4gb ram.
I am just worried if i get the surface pro now, and then the surface pro 2 comes out cheaper, i cry
core performance not much difference, just that the Surface 2 has a newer more power efficient CPU which is always nice.
as for what if the new one is cheaper or same price, that's always the very big question we have to deal with here where we can't be sure of the release date.
the battery life of surface RT & surface 2 even lost a large margin to other arm platform -.-, while the battery life of surface pro 2 is better than surface pro, it is still consider bad. asus t100 with intel atom bay trail battery life isnt really better than last generation either.
Why longer battery life is always welcomed, don't forget that you must also consider what you can do with that battery life. And for me, I can do much more with an x86 compared to ARM.
