Commentards Running Amok Without a Clue.
I find it more than amusing that almost EVERY negative comment is by a commentard who has never EVER tried to use a Surface. The POSITIVE responses are mostly from actual users who have not only seen one in the flesh but have actually TOUCHED it!! They don't seem to have anything nasty to say about them.
I bought a Surface RT 32Gb when it first came out with a type cover and a bluetooth wedge mouse and a case that just fits the Surface tightly. I also added a 32Gb memory card. I wanted to try one without spending a lot of money and having Office built in was ideal. It was a little awkward to start but, as I used it more I started using it all the time and eventually it completely replaced my desktop Windows 7 machine completely. Apps?? PLEASE tell me what apps I could possibly be missing other than a Web Browser other than IE? I use the RDC to administrate all of my servers, plus my NAS devices and all my documents I create are in the cloud and usable by any other windows machines I happen to use. I don't need them often but that little case holds a non-powered USB hub, Miniport to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable just in case I want to use a second monitor plus my mouse and power adapter and weighs what, a little over 2 pounds?
Performance is adequate, not stellar, but still adequate. I've used it connected to a HDTV many times in hotel rooms putting together presentations and it's crystal clear on the display.
Please tell me where the downside is? The battery lasts for about a day and a half.
Now that the Surface 3 i7 512Gb model is here I have had such a great experience using the RT model I'm looking forward to purchasing one and using it like I have the RT. Just faster and pretty sure there's nothing it won't run that's Windows based.
Again, as a a closer, I do find it amusing we have been able to teach dinosaur commentards how to use computers and never stray from windows XP or windows 7 and just incessantly complain about things they have never actually tried. You may go back to your Linux CLI now.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
