I'm seriously considering upgrading my almost-2-year-old Galaxy Tab 10.1 with a Surface RT (cant decide between the 1 and 2). Since I stopped commuting by train and got a Lenovo Yoga, I haven't used my tablet so much as before as I'm mot regularly travelling and at home I have the Yoga.
But there are still plenty of occasions where I find myself travelling and wanting something more than my phone, but not wanting to carry an expensive and (relatively) cumbersome ultrabook.
What are peoples experiences of the RT for this sort of use? Mostly I'd be using it for bog standard day to day stuff- kindle, web browsing, the odd bit of content creation. What really attracts me to the surface is that it runs the same OS as my laptop and would fit into my ecosystem better than any other tablet.
I'm also quite keen on the idea of remote-desktopping into my Yoga from the Surface when I'm away from home, which being Microsoft made, I'd hope the surface is pretty good at. Has anyone done this?
Sorry for the long post! Andrew.
