reeks of desperation
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're an Android fan. Can you please explain why almost all Android devices go on sale a few weeks after they get introduced? Do Android devices "reek" of desperation as well?
When Google sells nexus devices for near cost, do they "reek of desperation"? Or do they make money other ways?
Source: I own Android devices that have all been purchased at some sort of discount.
I am an android fan but I want a windows 8 tablet (right now leaning towards the helix, but if i was to run into a 128gb surface I might get it)
When I say it "reeks of desperation" I don't mean that the surface pro as a product is a failure
just the 64gb model at its current price point
I can see your point. When you are talking a $100 price difference with double the storage on the line, it almost asks you "Why bother with a 64GB??"
I think the 64GB Pro should have come in lower. For me, the extra $100 was a no brainer. Looking back, I'm glad I did it and got the 128GB.
I think with the Windows OS storage issues (even without recovery partition) the 64GB pro is just worthless to most people. I mean, they are billing this is a laptop-replacement that has 30GB of storage space. That's a "no compromise experience"? No way.
The 64GB model just seems to have been completely poorly thought out--even if it was a LOT cheaper than the 128. I am leaning towards getting one of these things (whenever they might actually be available for purchase) but I'd never even consider buying the 64. I think I've only seen 1 or two people who have posted on this site who even bought a 64 out of all the people who managed to snag one...
I was thinking of getting the 64GB and just adding a microsdxc card (64g).
Can anyone tell me if this is practically the same as buying the 128GB? Or am I missing something ?
I figured the micro card can be bought for ~$45-50
Me too I'm not really sure why it's useless?With the micro slot available wouldn't it be better to save $50 and get the card? Also sky drive is available to use for a lot of documents, pics, videos.If there are people who are willing to buy 64gb MacBook airs, then there should be a place for a 64gb surface, no? Especially when surface has a microsdxc expansion slot which MacBook air does not.I don't get what everyone is complaining about saying that there's absolutely no market for the 64gb.I feel like there's too much negativity brought on by the media, and people are just echoing what they're reading in reviews.

From what I understand, the gift card does NOT apply to the Surface Tablets. I took a 64gb unit all the way to checkout and no card shows up either..
Practically, yes; that's why the 128 is only $100 more. Just keep in mind that unusable space on the 64 is proportionally greater, and this is what makes the 128 a better buy for many. But, if 30-38 of built-in memory, plus up-to 64GBs is plenty for your storage needs, applying the $100 to a keyboard may be the better buy for you. Most people have much more strorage then they use.I was thinking of getting the 64GB and just adding a microsdxc card (64g).
