But RT can enjoy longer time usage and lighter weight.. the pro I think took a long time to fully charge while using it.

Apparently Sandisk made a new 80mb/s version. Saw it today at Lowyat. Currently the Sandisk mobile ultra 32gb goes for RM89. Unfortunately I only the SD 32gb 80mb/s being RM159.

At lowyat U can find SanDisk extreme 64GB at viewnet and Sri computer. Rm299..

pfft...if the 64gb microsd cost rm2++...better buy 1TB hard disk straight away=.=

Yes, that is true. But U have to connect it each time to use it. As for me, I use sdxc to install pc games. laugh.gif

Somehow I do agree with this idea.

Default storage + SkyDrive still insufficient? laugh.gif

I got a 32Gb Sandisk Ultra paired with my 32Gb RT. Cant remember exactly how much I paid for it but must be circa RM90. Mapped it to my Start screen and am using it as my main file storage (work related files).

So far, so good.

Of course, I have my several thumbdrives and on the extreme, an external 500Gb HDD if more storage required

Maybe just enough with skydrive if isn't put much media files laugh.gif . But skydrive need to be connected with wifi first right?
Then if went to place without wifi, SD card shines flex.gif

It really depends on what you are intending to use it for. Its more realistic to compare the new Nexus 7 against an iPad mini since both are circa 7" albeit on different OS and apps availability.

An RT however, is more practically positioned as a middle ground between tablets and ultrabooks. It comes loaded with MS Office and with its very decent batt life of 8 hours, very ideal for students and even work. If gaming is top on your list, strike the RT out. Just my 2 sen opinion whistling.gif

I recently ran excel and powerpoint over almost 5 hours. No signs of lag even when I snapped between them and the start screen, check mail and responding to them (wifi on through out of course). Only bit of slowness was from skimming through huge pdf files loaded up via a thumbdrive through the sole USB port. the pages took a bit of delay to load up (100+ pages per file!!) Ended the session with batt level still above 50% thumbup.gif

Nice..

Anyone knows how to screen capture to the specific window? I know windows button + volume down button, but that is for the whole screen. Normally I press alt + screen capture buttons..
