That a pretty good deal but I will wait for Haswell

why microsoft did not implement I7 intel core on their surface??maybe will overheat like crazy aite??

With the current i5 surface pro, there's already enough grouses to keep it from being "successful" eg high price, low batt life (4 hours), etc etc. Some more want i7?

isnt that the recent $100 discount on the Pro? i thought this was common knowledge alrdy

i7 need a big ass charger

My microsoft store is divided into different categories. How do I find the apps you mentioned like metro commander, social nv, vide, pressplay, ... under which category? So difficult to find. Do I need to go to each category to search, ah? Troublesome. How to search for all categories?

Also I find that the microsoft store ahs so many similar names for the same thing - which one to choose? For example, you got so many facebook. And so many Youtube apps.

Use the search function (?)

Facebook I just use the browser. For youtube you can check out metrotube.

Sorry recently quite busy with uni stuff, didn't catch up those promotion. Still a good deal anyway

Lets aim for Haswell Surface Pro!!!

Haswell bring 12 to 13 hours to 13" Macbook Air. I assume Haswell Surface Pro will be at least 8 to 9 hours straight plus the Intel Graphic HD 5000 performance

Can play D3 with 50 to 60 FPS

You don't understand what I was saying. The search function is in each category. You got sports, you got games, utilities, tools, news, music, etc so many categories. So, that means I need to search in many separate categories because I don't know which category is metro cammander in, for example. You get what I mean?

yea 8-9 hours is my guess too. That's a full day at school or work! 1 charge lasts the whole day

HD5000 is just icing on the cake

Bro, have you even tried using the search? It's a universal search. It looks through the entire store.

search function searches all categories

Yeah, that's true, even now people complain about the price, totally forgetting that unlike the iPad you're not buying an appliance but rather a full PC! If it was a core i7 and reaches RM4k then people would complain even more!

I wish Microsoft at least have a option? i5 and i7 model. Trust me, there are people who do professional stuff on Surface and they need that kind of power. Then Surface will have more market that time.

hey guys...have some question here..how long is the average stanby time for the RT with average usage?? and can I put a class 4 microsd HC??

Can't answer you on the standby time, but you can put a class 4 micro sdhc no problem.

Have not tracked standby time but from usage ala excel, powerpoint and pdf with wifi on with a full charge, I still had abt 51% batt charge left after almost 6 hours

trust me... if they going this ways... there will be another USD$1B write off the inventory in the future....

the most important things microsoft need to do is to find the successor/savior after Ballmer... not another surface
