I'm coming late to this particular thread. I'm contemplating switching from all Mac to mostly Windows. My usage these days is just a few internet things, my checkbook and using Sibelius to do music engraving. The apps I use to do most of these things are already licensed to use on both...

Compared to the Surface (non-pros), the T100 is a much better overall value. Cheaper to buy and runs a full version of Windows instead of the much more limited RT version the Surface does. I think I paid about $350 for the 64Gb version which includes a very nice detachable keyboard. The...

got 3 machines here, all have the latest update finally. Acer i3 laptop - let it update everything except the 8.1 update itself. after reboot, then got the 8.1 update with no problem at all. Asus T100 - same procedure. My SurfacePro was the first I tried it on and with it I select the 8.1...

The only one I've found is Microsoft's. Here's a link Office - Microsoft Community

I went to that link, but the procedure doesn't work for me at all. First there is no OneDrive icon, still SkyDrive on Windows as far as I can tell, and right clicking on the icon that is there has no 'settings' as a menu selection. Possibly this only works on OneDrive for business?? Aha...

As much as I love my SP, when it comes to travel, I'm gonna be consuming on my iPad Mini. Lighter, smaller and works well for all the content consumption I can think of. My SP is more of a laptop/tablet for when I'm in more comfortable settings. And how do you 'hard wire' an iPad to a...

If you configure your OneDrive properly, you don't have to do anything. You can have a local copy of the file on your portable that will sync with OneDrive when it is available and that will sync with your other computers when OneDrive is available to them.

I did not know that it only took iTunes to get streaming my iTunes library to the AppleTV from the SurfacePros. Interesting. Of course if you have iTunes set up properly and running all the time, it will act as a 'server' to the AppleTV too. Your method would allow for more than one iTunes...

There is a setting so that it isn't automagically save in both places. Can't remember where i read about it, but I know it can be done. OK, found it. It is a all or none setting. Open your OneDrive with the SkyDrive modern app, pull the right side, select options and you'll see the choices.

I downloaded Office365 for iPad and it is very nice. But yes it does take a subscription to make it useful, unless your definition of useful is showing things or reading things. No editing or anything else to do with content creation/editing. With the exception of OneNote and Powerpoint. No...

That was my experience as well. It worked but wasn't much fun to use and didn't bring anything to the table that I couldn't do just as well or better with Windows.

Thanks. I think I'll just wait!! I'm in the process of switching from Mac to Win8.1 over the next couple days and don't need a 'leaked' version to confuse me!! :)

How are you getting the update? I don't see it.

Yep, the MS online store is now $679 which is not a good deal imo. Sure, it is cheaper than the Surface Pro 2, but not by nearly enough. Old new stock is no bargain unless it is a REAL bargain, imo. Frankly I expect the price to drop back down again as I don't believe the $679 price will make...

There are some cases with bluetooth keyboards that have trackpads on Amazon in the US, don't know if they exist on the UK version of Amazon though. That said, I tried a bluetooth keyboard that I had laying around and found it a bit laggy in response with the Surface Pro. Same keyboard with my...

Note that the original post is in the SurfacePro section and not the Surface Pro 2 section? That should have been a hint... :) Also it should be noted that great deals generally don't last long!

Surface success is tied very tightly to Windows 8.x and how well it is received. MS made the touch interface nearly all important for desktop/laptop use but didn't make the case for it actually being all that good in that environment. Mostly because the case has never been made over many long...

Wow! that is pathetic!! :)

...and at the Microsoft Store too!! :)

Great deal : Microsoft Surface Pro with 128GB Memory 9UR-00001 - Best Buy Note this is for a new Surface Pro 128Gb.
