LOVE my RT. It replaced my ipad and MacBook pro. I don't have any legacy apps, so that's not an issue for me. The Surface completely meets my needs and I use it constantly for work and entertainment.
I think there's a negative perception associated with RT that it's a neutered OS. Granted, RT is a series of compromises, but they're ones I've gladly made. For me, the lack of legacy apps is an easy trade off for a less bloated OS and tons of battery time. I thought I would like my Surface...
I'm trying to use the people hub for Facebook and Twitter, but it doesn't show me posts/tweets that are older than four or five hours. Am I missing some kind of setting? Is that just the norm?
I would, too, if the price were comparable. I'm using a free year of Xbox Music pass, but I doubt that I'll continue it when that is up. I think the music pass is worth it, but I just don't need any more subscriptions.

I went from a MacBook Pro to the Surface & touch cover. I'm a pretty heavy Office user and the touch cover's track pad is just fine. I've never felt the need to use a mouse with my Surface.
Surface has allowed me to sell my MacBook Pro and iPad. I'm not bashing Apple... I loved both of those products, but I didn't like having a laptop for production/consumption and then an iPad for slightly more convenient consumption. Surface and SkyDrive actually make my life easier.... My wife...
I went with the 64gb and have been pleased with the touch cover (much more so than I thought I would). Although, I really hope that, in the future, MS sells each flavor of Surface without any kind of cover and then offers the different covers as add-ons. I bet that MS store employees get pulled...
I got my Surface for many of the same reasons. I'm very surprised at how much I love it. I used to have a laptop and an ipad. I never really used the ipad since I would just use my laptop for web browsing, Netflix, etc. Since I got my Surface, I've been able to sell my laptop and ipad and...
