Hi all,

i just purchased surface pro in Singapore.
Sharing my input
1)it supports java and flash like a charm, viola, intranet etc will works.
2) Yes, it is a hot machine. i didnt even open a lot of apps. Maybe due to charging mode?
3) It is a powerful machine and the keyboard sticks perfectly, turn over the machine and holding the keyboard only, the tablet wont drop! good magnet there.
4) the HD screen is crispy eye candy.

important : My unit is faulty! After checking the internet it seems it is a common problem although not many.

problem : When charging, i will fell electric shock from the back. This is important considering this machine is short on battery life and constant charging while using will be common. I will be bringing my unit back to challenger for exchange.

cheers

ps: when you buy, u probably should try charging it and run your hand behind the surface, if you feeling electric current vibrating, change it.

Been using this baby for a while... so i will give my 2 cents again.

light portable PC to be carried around that works.

tying to use it as a tablet is not working well.... cause the heat is annoying and it is too heavy and all i did was reading manga on it.
- waiting for a rubber glove to body this surface pro, hopefully it solve the slippery edge and minimize the heat from the back, i am a sucker for belly reading.

Not suitable for gaming as the screen is too small but the processor and graphic makes powerpoint looks like a fluid TV. Still the idea of its power is awesome and i cant wait for a good app to fully utilize the HD4000.

I will love to watch Dota2 international tournament on this machine at work biggrin.gif and make the ipad user bleed envy.

really really need more apps and the pen is really under used cause lack of apps.

Could be better but still a good working gadget to have.

Unless you have a software that cant be handle by RT or your powerpoints stuttering during presentation, there shouldn't be a reason why you should get a heavier, hotter, pricier and thicker tablet.

for me, it runs intranet that require Java and light enough to be ported between office and home. Yes, it is a sexy thing to be put on your working station instead of a big ultrabook that's eating up half your table.
