    Is the Surface too expensive?

    I agree with it being overpriced and think that they should have priced the RT at $499 AND included the keyboard in that price. They could charge the extra $20 for a type cover. I don't believe they should have offered it without. The whole point of the keyboard on the Surface is to bridge...

    A note on returns

    I returned mine they took it back promptly and courteously. Overall I liked the device, but performance was lagging and buggy. This is pretty much typical of Microsoft over their history -- new generation software/device with a ton of potential -- then release it before it's ready for prime...

    How is your surface battery life?

    Thanks, All. Would at least one of you charge yours to 100% and leave it off the charger while you sleep and check it the next day? I'm curious the drain over time when sleeping. I'm off to the surface store tomorrow to exchange it. I bought the "Microsoft care" warranty as well so they...

    Surface- The issues

    New gripes. Again, I love the form factor of my surface, but I'm getting enough little things that now I'm seriously contemplating using my 14-day return privilege. Last night I charged it to 100% right before going to sleep around midnight. I got up at 7AM. The battery was at 74%. That's...

    Surface- The issues

    I love a lot about my surface and true keyboard. There are just as many nags, however. Likes: -wide format - on screen keyboard and attached keyboard are usable and not cramped. Video looks much better. Typing a word document works much better on the wider screen. -Stand is awesome...
