Hey everyone, I'm a college student. Picked up a Surface RT off eBay a month or two ago for $199. I've used it quite a bit since then (the tablet I had before was a Dell XPS 10). Sometimes, it's slow to respond (I'm guessing that's the way all the 1st gen models are?). I've been in Best Buy a lot recently and I've looked at the Surface 2 a few times - it looks better than the RT (love the silver color on the back), but I haven't really been able to test performance. To further complicate things, Dell has released the Venue 8 Pro, but I'm worried that it will have the same build quality of the XPS 10 (kind of a loose fitting case, doesn't feel sturdy). Unfortunately, Best Buy hasn't started selling the Venue 8 Pro so I haven't been able to get my hands on one to see. I want a tablet like the Surface or BlackBerry PlayBook in terms of build quality (PlayBook was my first tablet - LOVED the screen size).
I do have a MacBook and an iMac, so I don't have to have a tablet - but it really is nice to have.
Is the Surface 2 enough of an upgrade to warrant selling my RT for $250 (after selling fees) and plunking down another $200? In other words, it's not like Apple where they'll put a plastic case on a phone and call it new lol.
Any thoughts/suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks!
