Go grab one of the cheapies to play around with. :)

Both from the AU Microsoft Store. Lot 1432 was received on release day. Had no functionality issues, but a cosmetic issue, as the kickstand had a slight bow on the mid-left side that meant it didn't sit completely flush when closed. Since Australia has no Advanced Exchange support, I purchased...

i7 256GB, Lot #1432. I don't see anything.

You need to set IE as your default browser in order to use it as a Modern UI App. This is the touch IE browser. To answer your initial question, I use Modern IE exclusively when not connecting another monitor. When connecting an additional monitor and a mouse, I use both Modern IE (on Surface)...

I just pre-ordered the i7/8GB/256GB with a red type cover and an additional pen from the Microsoft Store.

Thanks for the intel on the accessories, mate. I was already set on grabbing the wireless keyboard attachment, as I've found I actually prefer using the type cover keyboards over standard keyboards, and now I'm doubly set. Probably gonna grab the docking station too. The arc mouse sounds...

I like it! An improvement over the original. I particularly like the new material for the touchpad and surrounds. Any first generation RT or Pro users grab one?

This only usually happens to me when I give the VGA connector an accidental hit, and even then, not all the time. I found a disconnect/reconnect or a reboot fixed it. I have no idea what's going with the wavy lines upon connection. Faulty cable, maybe?

Hi. I just tested this out on my Pro, running 8.1, both the Start button and volume rocker continue to work with either the touch or type cover attached backwards. Don't know if it's a length of time attached thing and will eventually stop working, but FYI. :)
