The portability, weight, thinness, and battery life are all pro's the RT has over the Pro. Other than that, I can't think of much else.

The Modern UI Skype app does not allow file sharing, regardless of the file being shared. A big flaw IMO. Whenever I am sent a file on Skype through the App, it crashes and takes me a full reinstall in order to get it to work again. The incoming call should close itself from no answer. I...

Interesting, never had this problem. Both the on-screen and keyboard covers work as expected on the site for me.

What app do you use? All of the ones I've tried are hilariously terrible. Much like the Facebook apps...

This is true, but I almost think ksantoso was asking if the system directs external air through the device or if it draws the heated air out of the device, allowing physics to take care of the rest. Much like how electronic cooling fans can be reversed dependent on your preference.

I'm the in the same boat as you, albeit I will be using an RT. I have preemptively fooled around with ON to try to grasp how efficient it will be in the classroom, and I will say that my RT WILL have its limitations, but as far as basic classwork - notes, writing, calculations, research, etc. -...

Not experienced this, but I don't usually fool around with it too much. Youtube is quirky sometimes in loading videos for me, but most of the time the flash controls work just as they would on any computer.

It would be more convenient to travel with and use that way, but I suppose I expect too much. Some audio systems, especially home systems, typically don't have a power outlet that is available and close to the system. They're either hidden away behind furniture, or are occupied by the audio...

These look like some of the best options. I like that most are 3.5mm compatible; however, sometimes the audio system you are using doesn't have a 3.5mm female port accessible, but instead has a 3.5mm male cable extending from it - do you know of any Bluetooth receiver that has a male 3.5 option...

Lots of good points brought up here Mitchell... do you not think the ATIV Q and SP are on different levels? I'd hate to involve bias in a purchase decision, but does it not seem that the ATIV Q is a portable touch screen laptop?? I would think the SP and ATIV Q (similar, yes) apply to two...

Well, I went ahead and purchased a 10ft male-to-male cable. Thanks for the input.

Well bye.

Also, big news today for the UK. Not going to link it, as you can find your own source all over the place.. Kate has finished labor and has given birth to a Boy - He's in for a wake up call in about 10 years.

Check out my review on it and it'll give you a good grasp. Besides, it took me a while to throw together and I haven't gotten much feedback on it - whether it be here or on the forum it's hosted on.

When you are connected out to an HDMI display, do the keyboard covers still work? I ask because if you cannot use your Surface while it's connected to HDMI (as in the Surface display goes black and is displayed on the monitor) then there's no need to have a long cable. I'd just get a 6 footer...

Yeah, heard about this. Quite the discussion on the other forums I frequent. I don't see it actually happening though, as to the definition of "porn" by the prime minister and other officials, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, etc. are all considered "Porn Sites" - tons of others in this category too...

I may be missing the point here kayzee, but wouldn't it be simpler and more effective just to use the audio jack? You're going to have a cable protruding regardless of which route you take, no?

The paint on the back of my device has also chipped off. I bought mine second-hand, so I have not inquired to Microsoft about it. You may just have to live with it.

Hey folks, Looking for an HDMI adapter for my RT, so I can hook it up to displays. M$ of course is a rip off selling an adapter for $40, so to Ebay I went. I found this, and it looks to be exactly what I need - but, you know how things are when they come cheap and/or from China. What do you...
