I like this tablet, but I'm finding myself using the screen more for typing than the touch keyboard when its on my lap.
Store associate told me that all apps should open with in four seconds or less. I find some of my apps take longer. He gave me the spiel about Microsoft not allowing apps that cause slow startup times. Cant be true since I find my apps sometimes take longer.
The overall flow of the OS is somewhat of an odd flow. I hate the way you make tiles smaller or larger and how you move tiles. something doesn't seem fluid about it. closing apps seems a bit odd too. The operating system is seeming a bit counter intuitive at times.
No official youtube app? Come on folks that seemed a bit off, but it works just fine on the web version. I like being logged into my account though for my favorite channels. The youtube clients on the market have low ratings so I haven't tried them yet.
The tablet actually is heavier feeling than I thought it would be after a while, but maybe that is because I haven't put it down much. lol.
I hate that there is no stock clock/alarm app. I want to use this as an alarm clock too, but that's a no go. Unless there is something I am missing about s certain functionality or something.
Overall I like this tablet. I wasn't much of a tablet person, because it seemed a bit redundant between my computer and smartphone. I simply love the tiles and the info they can provide.
Also, has anyone gotten the full version of the office 2013 home and student? seems I still have the preview version and I was told the full version is already available. Any help with that?
Cameras suck period on this, but im not looking for a stellar camera. I have a nice Nikon DSLR for all that.
For what windows surface RT is, I think it is pretty good though. I cant actually be productive and still have fun with apps while using a lighter than a laptop type of device. I think Microsoft could tighten up a few things and possibly rethink a few things. Maybe actually follow a few suggestions early on. I mean not too many people are used to the tablet yet. why not heed the consumers wishes and give them a few things. Mainly performance.
I know I had quite s few negatives, but I still like this thing and I am just riding on faith that MSFT will tweak their first gen tablet. then again, they could be taking consumers for a short ride like they did with the popular Lumia 900. Then so called ditch them.
