RRP for RT 32Gb without touch cover is RM1099. So at RM1146, they are selling it slightly cheaper lor

You need some time to get used to it.
I'm using touch cover for 2 months ++ now. Feels fluid.

Hi,

Whats your laptop spec? I have one extra as my mom said she prefer iPad instead of Surface

Currently surveying to exchange. Not in rush though.

Been using for about a month now, i have nothing to complain about touch kboard. But then again, it's individual user preference

Also a I'm really anticipating the keyboard with battery pack, once that's available, I plan to let go my touch keyboard.

Thanks to Silverfire, I got my Surface Pro @ 2860. Sadly ipmart did not honour the deal that it was to come with the touch keyboard.
They wanted to cancel the order & return my payment. Asked if they can bundle a wireless KB & mouse set @ ard $100, still they wouldn't,
offering only a $20 credit.

Having a dilemma here. Ordered the 32GB version with touch keyboard and still waiting for its arrival. Tried the touch keyboard at challengers today and the experience wasn't pleasant The accuracy is really really low and a simple task such as typing suddenly became hard. I have an iMac and and iPad with me so whenever I wanna do some word typing on my iPad I will connect the Wireless Keyboard from my iMac. The physical keys are really nice to have. Is it really that hard to get used to a touch keyboard ? Anyone tried to hook up his/her Surface RT with a keyboard ? Does it work ? Thanks

You could always connect a keyboard via Bluetooth. Logitech has one which is small and sleek or Microsoft's Wedge mobile keyboard

Here's a nice video comparing the RT with an iPad

The only reason for me to get Surface RT, full sized USB port and free Microsoft Office Home and Student but.... Do you really need Microsoft Office on your tablet, I mean most of us will still prefer to do our assignments on a full sized PC or laptop.

Well personally I think that included micrsoft office is good, as you not only view files and can also work on it while you are at a place without pc and urgent?
And I think this is what ipad/android tablets can't do, correct me if i'm wrong .

Well we can use an OTG cable for that to hook up an USB device. Yeah I really liked Surface RT with the included Microsoft Office and a full sized USB port, I just hope that my field of work will requires me to work with all these awesome features As for now, I rarely use Microsoft Office. Maybe once per month for assignments and it is really a waste.

The RT I have is NOT my primary workstation. It's my mobile companion when away from my desk or out of office entirely. Love it for its good batt life and of course, the bundled Microsoft Office.

If anyone wants some screen/skin protectors, there's a bulk open for skinomi skins if anyone is interested:

guys, im in a dilemma here. my dad wanna get me a tablet but im not sure to go for ipad mini or surface RT. advise pls, mostly use for reading ebook only, dn wanna get kindle coz cant do anything else.

It depends on what else you plan to use it for. If you're a candy crush / clash of the titan person , then this is not the one. But there are good apps at the moment in the store and more awesome apps are in the baking tray. But if you are looking at a mini PC like capable device with productivity capabilities the RT marks the spot.

But based on your post which on reading device, then RT fits your bill, bugger screen with better resolution.

Oh ya, i was having come problem to play mkv files, on RT, any recommendations on apps? The ones I downloaded did not read the file, instead it tried to convert the file. And since I was streaming the movie from a home group and the file was 4gb, i did not tried to do so.
