Great news, now it offers better price tag to users who need laptop and tablet at the time.

they should do it earlier!

i tink there is too much RT in stock, because most ppl get the Pro version

Will the Pro version price drops as well?

I think one of the reason surface RT 'flop' in sells is because many people doesn't consider it as a laptop replacement since it can't run normal x86 programs

oh why can't microsoft just release something like windows 8 lite instead of this RT?

many linux distros has a 'cd version' which can run totally on cd.. and if you need extras, need to install it on hard disk and add the extras later.. but everything will work fine...

no. windows RT should be for size 8" or below. 10" up should all be Windows 8

8" and below RT tabs should be sold at below RM800

Yea, this is the only downside for RT imo.
While Pro version can install 3rd party apps/software because it uses win8.
There's some new release of win8 based tablets from other brand like acer iinm, since the computex 2013.

There's an interesting review which somehow make me feel RT is still reasonable to get:

Guys, how good is the apps/program for RT?

No good. Only PPS good

Crap... Purchased 2 already

PPS stand for?...

Well its good for a lot of things like web browsing and stuff and full desktop Facebook. Its an ideal device for games and social sites, sadly not many of those social sites have official apps for the RT.

PPS is the app you can watch a lot of movies with but Chinese sub only if not mistaken.

Microsoft surface RT drop price to RM1099 for 32GB,is that worth buying for typing office use?

Oh yes, its very suitable for document works.

You guys should compare Surface RT (and other Windows RT devices) to the other tablets. It's unfair to take it as the laptop replacement. It's good enough to say "iPad" replacement though.

What about project powerpoint on projector?

You will need to buy the proprietary cable to output that, but yes it works wonderfully for Powerpoint and similar works.

If want to connect to printer for print document does the USB connection work?

Will test and let you know asap.

Pls do share with us the result!
