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.

QUOTE(dotaallstarz @ Feb 15 2014, 10:43 PM) 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. This post has been edited by billy_overheat: Feb 16 2014, 01:31 PM

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Feb 16 2014, 02:27 PM) Battery life is around 75% longer right?  And iinm, the power cover keyboard comes with an additional battery too  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.  or I miss something?

Power cover! Now there's something! I will wait then! Haha! Battery is very important!

QUOTE(Xirality @ Feb 18 2014, 02:01 PM) I think at least cost RM600 to 800  But if the quality and battery are satisfying, still ok kot. Hahah Asus starts the trend cheap, Microsoft makes it expensive.

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!
