Since surface pro 2 with haswell is coming soon, I'm wondering whether this is the good time to get surface pro or not. How about it guys? Gonna use it for surfing and documenting (presentation + words).

Done with android tablet, it's good with light use but it's no good for extensive use of documenting.

I think it depends if battery life matters to you to pay the extra hundreds for the pro 2. processing wise.. pro 1 good enuff for any office work

I'm wondering whether the battery life is worth that few extra hundreds or not. How many hours more with haswell? Btw, the screen resolution is better too right?

Ops, it's the same full HD screen. Nice.

Which one? The type cover comes with battery? I thought it's just a simple keyboard? Didn't read things about there's battery in it. shocking.gif or I miss something?

Didn't know there were so many different accessories for the Surface  drool.gif
Though not sure why the tab there still says "early 2014" laugh.gif
Hope so too, though might be a bit too hopeful since the new ones are better-spec  tongue.gif

I'm tired waiting for the pro2 and ended up with pro. It's sufficient for my usage and it's brilliant! 3 to 4 hours batt life is okok, that's why I'm looking for the power cover.

Anyone is importing them in from US?

Or anyone has insider news whether it's going to be released here or not. Heard that the power cover can get pro another 2 to 3 hours!
