The Surface Pro is tablet first, with PC like capabilities. If you're using it for PC work then better to get those new Ultrabooks that turns into tablet. 10.6" too small for standard PC usage on day to day.. for me anyway it is.

One of the reasons.
The best thing is the Microsoft Office. I'm a student, and I need it a lot.
iOS and Android can't help me with this part.

Initially I'm interested in tablet. When I know about Surface RT, I am strongly attracted by this feature.

No. The store is different.
The store is actually the SAME with Windows 8.

Microsoft promises to provide more than 2 years of support to Surface RT. I believe Windows RT will not so fast dead...

Main reason I want to get it is when I go to campus, it will be way more portable than my Retina MBP. If I really wanna use it on my home desk or even TV I can use HDMI out.

yeah, lot of work depend on it in campus.

What kind of work are you wanting to do on it? Because believe it or not, I run my presentations from my mobile phone at times, connect via hdmi out to a projector. Even more portable. LOL

But yeah, I see the Surface Pro as a tablet with PC compatibility on the go etc, but not as your main work machine.

Phone is portable and capable to do this but I don't wanna drain my phone battery and phone I keep it as a phone. Don't really like to use my phone involve in productivity

I say, if you have a notebook already and are considering a tablet, Surface RT suits you.
Pro is a laptop replacement.

I think Surface Pro is still unique in market. None of the Tablet Hybrid PC can match it. I'm looking forward to the next Haswell Surface Pro. Hopefully more than 10 hours battery life

Oh yeah regarding the shock/vibration feeling when charging, I experience it with the HTC One as well which uses an all aluminium unibody design which is somewhat familiar with Surface's magnesium body.

i think its because unstable voltage, i tried in different places in my hse, only some of the places i can feel the vibration during charge, i then change my socket, seems fine now

Is that possible? The price can be very high though.

RT doesn't have SIM slot right? We gonna solely depend on WiFi?

The USB can't be use to insert portable moderm because the installation is normal .exe which can't be run by RT OS. Does my understanding is correct?

Not entirely. A normal USB transceiver for keyboard/mouse works on the RT. I think it will be up to Microsoft's driver support for the RT.

I think its possible. Haswell chip very low power.

This Monday, I will be using my RT for a whole day meeting. Let's see how it performs.

Anyone knows where one can buy a folio type case for the RT? Its a finger print magnet!!

Kindly share with us your review ya!

Is any of the surface pro user encounter minor electric shock at the back when charging the tablet?

Yes and its fine

am thinking to get some carbon fibre sticker / transparent sticker to cover the entire body to prevent scratches and finger print yo..

the tablet is thick enough, i hate to add more thickness in getting another cover..

Any idea how reliable is this company and if it's possible to top up to a type cover?
