Thanks for the review. I can't agree with you. Yes, the Dell is cheaper. But, the graphics and processor are slightly better in the SP2. And it looks better ... ;) You're paying more because it's the better product.

I guess it's too make the Pro sound more appealing.

That's great news. Glad it's sorted! I find it odd that a manual update is required. How is everyone notified of the manual update?

I thought the S2 could also come in white but that the SP2 only came in magnesium?

I liked the idea of the Touch cover because I thought that the Type cover would be significantly bulkier, and I wanted a tablet not a laptop. But, I'd still like something sturdy. Looking at the Touch 2 and Type 2 covers I'm actually swaying towards the latter. It's still incredibly thin, looks...

Everyone seems keen on the Type cover. Has anyone had any experience with the Touch cover? Why is the Type cover preferred?

I'm very interested in finding out how you set that up.

Thanks for the suggestions, Krooked. I'll definitely check out the settings and then pen!

Not exactly, lol. I just meant general typing ... ;) By "special" I simply mean the symbol characters like brackets, full stops etc. Which are, typically, on a secondary page accessible by tapping the "symbol" button. But, on a physical keyboard the symbols are usually easier to access by...

I apologise for the lack of use information in my opening post. I will mostly be coding, with occasional drawing or other forms of digital art. It is the price that's put me off slightly, but the idea of the tablet was to increase my productivity; not hamper it so if a keyboard is essential...

The SP2 is the first tablet I will have owned, and I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on the Touch/Type covers. If I buy one at all it will most likely be the Touch cover. But, do you think that owning one of these accessories is definitely essential to allow you to take advantage of...

shazada. I was thinking more along the line of replacement parts, rather than trying to achieve longer running time. That is, if the Dell's battery dies you'd expect a replacement battery would be easier to source, compared to trying to ask MS to fit a new battery in your SP2. Adding to a point...

Unfortunately, I don't think the "reviews" I've seen so far have been clear enough on the specification and prices. I've read there are different models. That is, you can upgrade the storage space, RAM, and even the processor. However, none of the articles I've read have stated the price of...

That's a very good point. If you know Wi-Fi is available (or you have an unlimited data allowance plan; although I would confirm the service provider's definition of "unlimited") you wouldn't have to worry about carrying any additional devices with you.

SP2 64GB. "Ships by October 22nd", according to my order status.

I've just pre-ordered the SP2 64GB model. I don't use a lot of storage (at the moment). That is, I use less than 60GB (including the OS installation) on my day job laptop and it's not much more on my desktop at home. And, I could easily remove at least a handful of unnecessary applications to...

I've pre-ordered the SP2 now and I'm hoping it'll come with support when it arrives. But if not, then, it'll be the first thing I do!

Krooked. Thank you for the link, and advising of your experience drawing on the Surface Pro. While I was waiting for a response yesterday, I was able to find this ... Wacom Feel Driver | Wacom Americas I believe it's the WinTab driver that allows most applications to utilise the...

Good day, Now, I know that the Surface Pro 2 hasn't been released yet so I appreciate there may not be an answer to this question yet. But, I'm considering pre-ordering one and I don't want to regret my choice. I would like to use the Surface Pro 2 as my primary device, as a productivity tool...
