That's true I forget about the 'smaller' differences sometimes, such as the stylus and the screen. Also, does the RT come with USB 3.0?
No. Supposedly, it is USB 2.0 because of a limitation of the ARM chipset.

Doesn't matter. The SP and the RT are both going to seem like crap compared to some of the new Haswell stuff coming out. Did anyone catch some of the upcoming Samsung offerings today? Good god.

Hi,
i had the RT first. Great battery life, nice display...
Unfortunately the current RT feels slow, so i had the feeling to miss something. I also wanted full Office and a Stylus.
When the SP came out i ordered one in the USA and shipped it to Germany. The SP is awesome. It's lightning fast, it has an awesome display and it give me the flexibility to use it in every way i want. I mostly use Apps, but i have also Office 2013, Visio 2013 and Projects 20013.
If the RT could run full Office 2013, better performance and a Stylus, then the RT would be fine for me.
Right now the SP is the better choice for me.

Just get both The RT is a great companion device, and you can swap keyboards between the two...
Sorry to dig up an ancient post, but I thought I would comment on buying a Surface RT after owning a Surface Pro. I looked at the Surface as soon as it came out and I bought a Pro the weekend they came out. I commented earlier in this post about picking the Pro over the RT because of the higher resolution screen. After using my Pro for six months I sold it and bought a Sony Vaio Duo 11. I just sold the Duo and bought an RT. The screen is better on the RT than I originally thought, and with the addition of Outlook in Windows 8.1, the RT does everything I need. I thought when I bought the Pro that I would need it for regular Windows programs, but I only used the Modern UI apps. The RT is so much lighter, and I get three times the battery life over the Pro.
