Just bought a Surface Pro at Harvey Norman last Saturday.

Surface Pro 128gb - rm1820 (discounted rm69 bcoz took HN extended warranty)
2 years warranty by HN - rm315
Touch cover 1 - free
Type cover 2 - rm409
Screen protector - free

Total damage rm2544.

The touch experience provided by Windows 8.1, Surface Pro and the stylus is just awesome. Wish it has a better battery life though.

P.S. Want to let go the Touch Cover 1 (pink, nib unopened), anyone interested just pm me.

Wahh why got free Touch Cover 1 & Screen Protector?? Discounted somemore...which HN was it?

Pavilion. The free Touch Cover 1 was the promotion since Surface 2 announced. The Surface guy said only left 3 units, all pink.

As for the Screen Protector, the HN lady simply said "this 1 free for u" during checkout and help me install it laugh.gif

When charging the Surface Pro, I can feel tiny vibration when I move my hand on the back of the device.

Does anyone here have this experience as well?

GAH! I can't decide between a Surface Pro or Surface 2 RT. GAHHHHHHHHHH

If you already have a decent PC and just want to use surface for media consumption, I would suggest S2 because it is lighter, thinner, and longer battery life.
Otherwise, SP is more value for money IMO.

I'm looking for a good laptop replacement a nice jump to 8.1. but when I look at my needs at the moment, i wonder if it's really necessary to get the full package since I only need to use like Paint and that would be enough.

not really a heavy user, but I would definitely love to play some older games if I could.

Go for the Pro version then. You may not need the full blown windows 8.1 at the moment but it's there when you need it. It is a better investment since it can replace your laptop, and more future proof compared to S2.
