It's definitely not going to stay the same vibrant color it was when you bought it. Keep in mind the material that it is, and you won't end up manhandling it in such ways that allow the edges to wear out.

For Skype, it works fine, but the cameras on this device are honestly terrible. Picture quality is on par to my old Motorola RAZR.. @SurfaceDude - I see your point about the SP, but I think you'll find that the original SP is less of a device than you currently have...think about it, and...

The Surface RT is my first tablet; I've fooled around with iPad's and knew what to expect from the RT. Although, I also expected the RT would disappoint me with its limitations - and yet it has not. Now I find myself asking "why?" when friends say they use an iPad. Lol The functionality truly...

My RT and setup impresses classmates daily, and professors are astounded at a college student using a device so efficiently. For example, I was showing my E-Engineering professor a theoretical situation today, and navigated between the Modern UI and Desktop, and eventually used an RDC app to...

Are we expecting a release this holiday season?

I'm excited to see what it brings. I have the hope that my RT will be a capable device until the next-gen launches; perhaps by that time, I will make the upgrade.

Finally; I'm happy to know that I'm not actually going insane, and that it was my Surface. I was originally concerned that it was my Bose in-ears, and noticed that the noise also stopped when I touched the buds of the headphones. Haven't figured it out yet; but either it's stopped, or I have...

The speed of HP Thin Client Desktop that I use in a university course. Man, I would kill for those speeds at home - and this unit is connected to 45 other devices in the room, that all remote into a W7 Enterprise server. My Surface, running on WiFi in the same room, tested at the same time...

There is an adapter you can buy to connect your device via Ethernet cable.

SmartGlass is alright, but frankly, it's more of an aesthetic app over anything else - the games I play, and use with SmartGlass, do not allow much in the way of added features, moreso just control and stat views that you can't find in-game. Regardless of the above, I love my RT, and am a huge...

It looks like a great device, I'm excited to see the photos and screenshots that I'm sure you'll be sharing with us. Hint hint

I own both, and use both. For me, it comes down to what you're doing and where you're doing it. I leave my type cover at home most days, and my touch comes with me to school and work. Thinner, more durable, and so much quieter - I can take notes and do research in class along with the course...

Wait wha??? Where is the mass amount of threads? Can you provide a link? Was 8.1 RT included?

Sitting at home, ~35ft from modem, connection shared with 4 other devices. This is my new service that was installed yesterday. Not bad for what I'm used to - I don't see how some people are paying for 70MB/s+ connections, they don't even offer those speeds for residential use in packages.

Nevermind...fixed itself...

I performed an "update and restart" a few minutes ago, and now I have no personalization options, everything was reset to default, and my copy of Windows believes it is not verified. I am on 8.1. Update was released in the last few days. Thoughts?

Sitting in class, on University wifi... AT&T will be out today installing my new service, we'll see if it's any better.

I'll try to remember to take some screenshots this morning when I head out to class. You're right about scrolling, and I'll address that this afternoon along with some pictures. Is there anything else you'd like a shot of, while I have it on my mind?

I like these kinds of modifications; taking something good and making it great through trial and error. Thanks for sharing this with us - if I had a Pro, I would definitely be doing this tomorrow. As for myself...I hate commonplace styluses with a passion. The rubber tips are too big, too...

It is definitely a great device, good luck with your decision.
