Both good and bad news. Good being the obvious.. Bad, seeing as how my second-hand RT is worth less at resale value.

Let us see if we can get this thread back on track.. Kat - USB is very helpful, even on my RT (which only runs 2.0); and although I have encountered several printers and devices that are not compatible with my RT, it's still a great feature to have. That being said, this is something to...

I have not found myself using the rear camera on my RT as of yet. It's a crappy resolution as it is; however, I forsee it being used more often once classes resume in the Fall. I don't know if it would drop the price much, if at all - and then you will have the people complaining that there's no...

A lot of people share the same misconception of reality that he does. Happily, it provides entertainment for me. Delusions of Grandeur anyone?! I for one enjoy my RT.

Microsoft is the manufacturer of the Surface lineup (RT/Pro). There are several other W8 tablets in the market, that all have essentially the same features. The Pro models (like the Surface Pro) run a full version of Windows 8 and will be able to handle all your java and all that. Yes the...

The Surface Pro is going to be your best bet. It will do everything you need, and then some. The price will be higher than you will pay for any iPad, for good reason. The ability for full USB3 will come in handy for what you are doing, as well as SD memory. The SP comes with a stylus and a great...

I have an update on the Manvex case here: http://www.surfaceforums.net/forum/microsoft-surface-general-discussion/5377-surface-rt-so-far.html :)

If I'd do it again, I'd save the money and buy the SP, instead of the RT. I'd have to say that after fooling around with it, nothing really measures to what it does and how it does it.

No, good cases are NOT interchangeable between RT/SP; make sure the online listing you are viewing details that the case is for the Surface Pro, not the RT. The button layout is 95% similar, but there are a few differences - not to mention dimensional differences. I use the Manvex Folio Case on...

That's a nice looking skin, how thick/durable is it?

My device knows there is a firmware update but has not installed it yet; nor will it let me force the update.

Thanks. I know I know... the more I look at the picture, the worse it gets. It's not that bad in person.. I swear!

SkyDrive has been slow about syncing files ever since I first used it, I don't think that's an 8.1 issue, but a SkyDrive issue. For some reason, I get the feeling that you know this already. Maybe it's because you need something to post about to include a link to your blog in &_& :)

I agree with this. The website seems hilariously biased.. Not just on one aspect either.. "Comes with Microsoft Office..." Lol, really??

I've had my Surface for about two weeks now; I've picked up a few accessories and added a few things to the device, a few of which I sought input for by you experienced Surface users. Some of you were looking for info about the revised Manvex Surface case/folio, so I thought I would do a thread...

I am right handed, and when using the stylus, generally have my surface in my left hand. I use touch gestures to zoom, but usually in accordance with the stylus (i.e. one finger and one stylus to zoom). For example, I'll use my left thumb to scroll or tap something on the left side of the...

I use a stylus to avoid fingermarks. Keeps the screen nice n clean.

Well, shit. Just got my used Surface w/type cover for under $400, and I thought that was a great deal. Almost disappointed to hear all this talk about new Surface tablets and the price drops for current-gen.

I got my RT with the Type Cover, and got a good deal on a secondhand Touch Cover a week later. I drastically prefer the Touch Cover (which I'm using right now) over the Type Cover. The Type Cover is bulky and IMO more fragile; while it is ideal for long periods of work (for me, in-class work)...

Lol, been loving those commercials for some time now - well before I got my RT even.
