I really was on the fence of the 2520 and Surface 2. Ended up with the 2520. The OS killed the memory leaving me with 17GB. I'm okay with that. The cloud is my friend for this. Not a huge deal breaker. As for apps in not a big gamer and can work around it. This thing is very nice. Feels like it belongs with my 920. Speakers great on the front. I know people like color the black between my two device has an elegant feel when their side by side. Can't wait for my keyboard. Hopefully I can get it fast being in Austin and they place is in Dallas.
