Hi everyone,
I know I am new to this forum & wish I had found you earlier, maybe then I would have a different opinion of my Microsoft Surface 2 on 8.1 RT.
Have been using this for about 2-3 months now & I can't stand it any more, I find it useless the tablet its self is nice & fast with stunning bright colours & a great battery, but the apps are for want of a better word ****, POINTLESS, COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, I am constantly searching & installing apps even just basic photo editors as an example, there isn't hundreds of great app as Microsoft keep saying, there is however hundreds of useless apps that once installed either don't work or want money off you, considering the cost of these tablets Microsoft have a cheek charging for any apps, I can honestly say I have one photo app "fotor" installed that's good but just lacks some basics. Anyway I am not here to review the apps ... or should I say lack of but it is one of my main gripes.
What is the story with all the updates & from what I can see big updates with 8.1 & security issues its doin my head in, my tablet has had to have a reset done & recovery (that's ridiculous for again the cost & its not even 3 months old) my Windows 7 Home Premium - Acer All in One Z5801 is ten times better!! Thought these 8.1 are the latest in tech?
Plus to rub salt into an already very sore wound the Type Touch Keyboard has wrong key mapping so can't use at all & I do attach when updating in hope of a miracle.
Sorry this is a rant but am so fed up with this tablet I feel like screaming out of boredom ... I am sure a calculator would be more stimulating to use.
Last point why do I have to keep signing in to use my tablet???? Frustrating.:crying:
I do have both units due to go into Microsoft & to be replaced with reconditioned units (as not bought through Microsoft)
