Hi all...
Just a few lines to say "hello". Just got my Surface RT a week or so back. I did spend a lot of time researching the Surface and was faced by the choice of either going in for the Pro or the RT version. In the end I chose the RT version because it seems to serve my purposes well. I opted to get the RT with the Type Cover. Why? Because I am in a profession which requires me to write a lot and from what I read the Type Cover was best suited for that purpose. I haven't been disappointed.
In so far as my kit is concerned, I use an Android phone and tablet (I have the Nexus 10, which I like a lot). I also have a ThinkPad which, since last week, remains on my desk tethered to an external monitor. And now I have the Surface.
In my initial and admittedly limited assessment, the Surface buy has proved to be a good one for me, personally, that is. Having an ultra light device with a functional keyboard and a virtually complete Office suite has relieved me of carrying my heavy ThinkPad and has enabled me to be more productive - especially at coffee shops and in libraries. I do like the Modern UI of Win 8 though I do think MS could do a lot more to make life a little easier integrating it better with the Desktop mode. But truth be told, I have no problem switching between the modes.
So, all in all, I am enjoying the use of the Surface RT - indeed, this post was written on it!
I look forward to participating in the various discussions on th forums here and of learning more about how to use the RT to greater effect from you all!
Cheers!
