this RT comes out too freakin late (for msia)

tegra 3 is so early 2012 stuff. performance will not be satisfactory.
and Pro is STILL not available.

I guess i will wait for Surface pro 2 next year. Love the vaporMg, love the kickstand. I expect it to be Thinner, generates less heat, and have better battery efficiency (>5 hours of Heavy use would be amazing).
For now i'm not really complaining using Aspire S7

After what seemed like an eternity, i got my hands on this baby last night @ Challenger

SCREEN
10.6 inch screen isnt too small. If you can tolerate 11 inch, then probably this shdnt be too much of a problem. Display tech is visibly superior to the usual TN panels.

PERFORMANCE
Performance is snappy enough. The slowdowns are mainly caused by the notorious windows 8 app loading times. Switching between apps is just as fast as a full-fledged intel processor, tho i cant guarantee the same when u have music playing in desktop.

BUILD QUALITY
I can verify that all the reviews about how nice the built quality is are justified. The magnesium body is nice to touch and brush against. The dark greyish color of the body sports a professional, modern look. The curves and edges are deliberately designed, and the body is sturdy.


KEYBOARDS
I started with the Type cover - it's springy enough - which is easy to get use to. They're quite compact, so some people might find it unsuitable for their use. For me, i definitely had an easy time using it.

Touch cover on the other hand, isnt as intuitive and familiar. It feels weirder than an on screen keyboard or those rubbery foldable keyboards - the keys dont travel at all like an onscreen keyboard, but at the same time u need to apply pressure to the keys for the presses to register, and it seems the pressure areas are pretty small at the very center of each letter.
If you want to buy this, do TRY it first! you dont want to throw away RM 350++ for this weird and flat keyboard that only works exclusively with the surface.

Just as advertised, they 'click in' when placed near the bottom of the surface with great accuracy. Kudos for that.

Hope u guys like this mini hands-on

There's a youtube channel named 'surface pro gaming'. They showcase many games played on surface pro from time to time.

very impressive, average gamers shd be satisfied (mid/ low settings).
The Newer graphics on Haswell should be even more capable.

thats a fair price


but then msian probably wouldnt see the value of this. They want everything to be big, branded, gaming specs this is too much a game changer

Im waiting for the haswell generation, more than 5 hrs of solid use is extremely useful.
Hope the price doesnt deviate too much.

btw here's the youtube channel :http://www.youtube.com/user/SurfaceProGaming

actually it's more like an ultrabook in a tablet body

convertible sucks - they are too heavy for a tablet!

if on ur lap then do light tasks like angry birds lo~ Typing on lap is like asking for trouble

cant believe they only have 5 units in stock lol

I envy you

hmm about the electric shock, i've also exprienced the same thing on my aluminum acer aspire s7. The first 2 weeks had this problem. I searched online, got many complaints regarding aluminum laptops with shocks (none related to my model, surprisingly). Then i figured it might be my faulty plug set. It leaks electricity sometimes, cant feel it on my older plastic laptop.

Changing to a new plug socket set seemed to have permanently solved the problem.

i mean these:


Last time i used cheap one got sparks sometimes

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

Nice to see the demand is there

64gb shd give around 40 gb after removing the recovery partition

still it is quite cramped with Office, mb some games and adobe installed. And dont forget future system updates.

IMO keyboard is a big selling point. U can do computing everywhere, the kb cover is so thin and light and doubles the role of a protective cover, it'll stay attached all the time.

it sucks doesnt it? i having a 11 inch ultrabook with full HD also living the same pain

hope there's still education price for the next gen surface pro 2. Then I can sell off my old machine and hop on to this

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

Lets aim for Haswell Surface Pro!!!

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

news on surface pro 2!

+2 hrs battery?
8GB ram
2 angle kickstand?

i really really hope got educational price on this. Then we can bulk buy it


Im thinking of not buying the keyboard - it's quite expensive and only works with the tablet itself.
If outside - use the pen/ touchscreen to type a lil
if at home, plug in my comfy mech keyboard ftw
