Are You Ditching an Existing Tablet for Surface RT?

[Blackjack55345]

Sold an iPad 2 to my sister just a couple days ago. Still have a Nexus 7 as well, which I'll probably keep around for a little while unless the Surface completely takes over. I like the size of the Nexus when in bed or playing games. I'm just glad I got rid of my boring old iPad though. Man, that thing just stopped getting used because it was so...blah.

Replacing my Nexus 7 that I'm giving to my g/f. I really like the Nexus, but am blown away by the Surface. My only concern is the Nexus is a great size and worried the Surface will be too big for couch surfing while watching TV. Typing this from my Nexus.

I've owned a bunch of tablets so far (iPad, Xoom, PlayBook, and Galaxy Tab 8.9) but could not justify the cost of the device versus the functionality that they provided. I do feel that the Surface will be worth the entrance fee due to the fact that it is essentially a full-blown computer OS, just minus the legacy app support. Another reason why I feel that I can justify the cost is that I know that it will work seamlessly with WP8 and a PC running full-blown Windows 8.

My wife and I both have TP's. If the TP loaded websites without flaw, I would be satisified. But, we will stick with them for a while, at least until I (my wife) decides I need a new tablet.

Sounds like we married the same woman. lol.

I also have a nexus 7. It's a great device for playing games and reading because of the weight/portability and it's probably the most smoothest android tablet I've had. My only gripe about it is that it feels too much like a phone and can't really take notes in class with it, but for overall consumption device its great! The surface will be my tablet that can go do almost everything and if I need to run legacy I will use my desktop at home.

Yes, I'm finally retiring my venerable iPad (2010).

I got mine today and after a half day of usage, I have to say my android tablets will get little if no usage from now on.

I don't believe that I will be ditching my iPad 3 entirely, but I can certainly see myself using it about 50% - 70% less. This may change over time.

I'll be picking up an RT tomorrow and a Pro as soon as they are available. I will probably retire my 32gb touchpad, but can't see giving up my 64gb TP panda unless surface just kills it in multitasking. Just don't know if I can fully give up the convenience of using multiple touchstones with such a great device. And for those other 32gb tp users, the 64 with a native 1.5ghz dualcore is MUCH faster than the 32's (even overclocked to 1.5).

Sold iPad "3" yesterday, picked up Surface today and couldn't be happier.

I picked up a Surface yesterday. This replaced an original Transformer. I have also owned an iPad 1, HP Touchpad, Nook Color, various cheap Android tablets, and the Motorola Xoom.

The Surface beats them all hands-down.

Ditching iPad3. I'm keeping it cuz i received it as a gift and i dont want to hurt the person's feelings.. but Surface is just amazing and leaves ipad in the dust.

I sold my iPad 3 to help fund a good chunk of my Surface purchase

Selling my nexus 7 to a friend, nice little tablet, but I am confident the surface (when it eventually arrives) will be much more useful
