128GB, currently don't really need the additional 8GB, but still itchy

I'm broke enough to buy anything else. Am stuck with Samsung ATiv Pro which costed additional RM3.3k. Waiting for it to get sold off @ lowyat.

I wouldn't say its flimsy. It's not "the ultraportable" that I expected, keyboard is too heavy for my taste. But if treating it as an ultrabook that can be converted to tablet I think it is a good device.

You should rename this thread to Official MS Surface V1 Thread

i hope next batch they bring in the 256GB version lol

Been using this baby for a while... so i will give my 2 cents again.

light portable PC to be carried around that works.

tying to use it as a tablet is not working well.... cause the heat is annoying and it is too heavy and all i did was reading manga on it.
- waiting for a rubber glove to body this surface pro, hopefully it solve the slippery edge and minimize the heat from the back, i am a sucker for belly reading.

Not suitable for gaming as the screen is too small but the processor and graphic makes powerpoint looks like a fluid TV.  Still the idea of its power is awesome and i cant wait for a good app to fully utilize the HD4000. 

I will love to watch Dota2 international tournament on this machine at work and make the ipad user bleed envy.

really really need more apps and the pen is really under used cause lack of apps.

Could be better but still a good working gadget to have.

Unless you have a software that cant be handle by RT or your powerpoints stuttering during presentation, there shouldn't be a reason why you should get a heavier, hotter, pricier and thicker tablet.

for me, it runs intranet that require Java and light enough to be ported between office and home.  Yes, it is a sexy thing to be put on your working station instead of a big ultrabook that's eating up half your table.

Windows RT cannot run Java

A short review on my SP.

Outlook/Build: 9/10
The Surface Pro looks amazing, and feels really solid with the VaporMG shell. The bad thing about using metal as the body is electric shock when charging. (Should be defect by design, tried 3 different brand new units having the same issue)

Tablet mode: 6/10
Too heavy to be held with one hand, made worse with Type Cover, which I consistently pressing the keyboard buttons with the cover folded back. It ignores any key pressed when folded back, but made me feels like I'm going to damage the keyboard (Touch Cover should fare a lot better since they don't have actual button).

Ultrabook mode: 9/10
Very portable, 1kg in total with Type cover is really impressive. Type Cover's build quality is very good. Didn't reduce my wpm compared to my mechanical keyboard. Kick stand is sturdy and stable, but angle is a little awkward, nothing too bad here.

Pen/Touch: 7/10
Touch is very good, near no lag, and adequately accurate. Pen is a little less accurate than Samsung Ativ Pro (I'm using this to do some art work in GIMP). After calibration it is much better, but still slightly off. Will get a new Wacom Pen to try out if it is caused by the Surface pen or the digitizer.
Needs Wacom's new driver however.

Battery: 6/10
4 hours run down on very light use, turning off Turbo (reduce the maximum processor state to 98%). I do only charge to 80% maximum to preserve battery lifespan. So the run down for 4 hours is 80% to 25%, which is not too bad. If you fully charge and run to 10%, it should hit 6 hours without a problem on light usage.

Thanks Go ahead and put it up.

Yup, I was eyeing on MBA 11" last year, but decided to wait. SP is really nice. (but my Mac friends couldn't switch over to Win, just fyi since you're using MBP)

Lastly, no, there's no official youtube app in Windows Store. There is however 3rd party ones, but I don't trust my account information with tiny firms.

"Optimized for touch" only applicable for Metro. There're still some hiccups in desktop mode, although much less than Win7 imho.

for surface pro which cover most surface pro user get  touch or type cover?

but actually with the keyboard cover, it is pretty much optional to get a sleeve for it.

When I bought the Surface Pro I didn't had gaming in mind. Only work. Documents and Photoshop. And Surface Pro is handling both of them really well

There's one thing in the world called hub

Your method works too but a highspeed SDXC is not cheap. Compared to the internal SSD, SDXC is really kinda slow.

Yes, compare with SSD, SDXC is very slow, but easy to share files to others and secure. After working hours i just take out the SDXC and put into my wallet and go home. 

i think this helps

get a cheaper SDXC is better. my 2cents.

Just use external SD to store user files such as photos and music. For program files just install them into the internal storage.
Thus you no need to care too much about the performance of the external SD.
I'm the sure every devices will work fine with this.

Hi All Kaki Surface

Do anyone know where can I buy surface screen protector at KL area?

for anyone who didn't have screen protector, please read this.

I just get my surface pro screen scratch, the culprit is tiny sand/dust that stick on my type pad when I put flip over and put it on floor,

when I flip it again and close the lid, put in my bag, the sand/dust is grinding the surface's glass surface. now I had two tiny unnoticeable crack....so before it is too late, please get a screen protector!!!!!
