ram can update ?

my pg seller quote me rm 2199 ...

can u elaborate what's the issue with surface ?

u can take a look at the 5 different layouts and imagine how it will feels like on your lap.

i think it should be pretty steady if its in a laptop mode and rest on your lap because the keyboard will be in-front and the tablet is in the middle if you're in a sitting position.
If u flatten it like a tab, the keyboard will be attached to the back, and this means , the back of the tablet is protected by another layer of protection below, therefore the back of the tablet won't get scratch so easily on a rough surface if u flatten it.

As for the second question of whether its good as a normal laptop, it depends on your definition of a normal laptop.
Its slightly better than i3 (haswell) and it has sufficient ram to run casual applications. It will be better of with 256GB storage (i wonder why they only have 128gb, its clearly not enough, because this machine can run 2010-2013 games at reasonable speed and some of them are like in 10-20gb)..

Oh.. one more thing.. it boots latest UBUNTU from USB thumbdrive very well.. WIFI and gfx is working..

just some comments.

from most the benchmark, the core m-5y10 should able to beat the SP3 i3 version but not the i5 version..
Other than beating the i3, it has 2x longer battery because of the lower TDP.
the more interesting one is m-5y71 , where it should be near i5 performance but don't think the graphics is better than i5 with HD 4400..
Maybe with better graphic drivers.. the HD5300 should be able to match the HD4400 in the future..

You can use the old SSD as USB drive boot and it will give you additional 100GB with additional OS

Loving it more and more day by day!

Love the screen so much

Sure, why not?

I'm loving the pointing stick as most of the business laptop from IBM has the pointing stick

If you used some business laptop before, you will love the pointing stick

Too bad the price has increased to RM2399 from RM2299 due to the stupid 200MHz bump of the base frequency graphic card

i use the USB 3.0 port, you need to have the micro-USB to Female-USB, or it is called USB3.0 OTG cable

Regarding the case, I love it so much as it has professional look and it looks like you are holding some documents file.

I am getting the similar case for my rMBP as well!

To all,

How good is the pen? Is it very precise or a normal pen for capacitive screen?

Am quite frustrated with my current windows tablet because when using desktop app very difficult with small icon and slides etc.

Found a solution! One of the USB Controller in the Device Manager was disabled, along with some other stuff under the Universal Serial Bus controllers. Basically just enabled everything and seems ok le.
