I need official information on battery life

I would love to see all the prices on the dock keyboards and such they used in this mornings preview.

I need to replace my desktop and want the portability of the Surface as well.

If it is available in India then I will go for it...

I don't see any information about 4G support. It's a no buy if it doesn't have built in 4G capability. Pointless device without it for on the go workers.

I've been using my rt as a laptop replacement. Now I want to start using VBA in MS access and excel and developing apps using visual studio. Not sure what version I should get. Anyone want give some advice? I was thinking an 4gb i5. I already have a 1T external hard drive.

I want one. I will probably mull it over for a few days as is my style, but I'll be getting one. I was super impressed by every aspect. I think the aspect ratio, in combination with the pen, especially is going to really make it for me. I'll be selling my ThinkPad Helix for sure.

Thanks, I wonder (and hoping) the surface pro 2's price is cut and maybe I'll snag that and boy instead.

 

[rdubmu]

Thank you to all for providing additional details. I am going to wait, my surface pro 1 still runs great, no reasons to upgrade yet, I bet the surface pro 2 users feel the same way. I also bought a power cover for my pro, get around 7 hours of battery life now

[Great deal]

i7 256gb for me please

 

[hopmedic]

I wish, but no way is my wife going to go for allowing that after just getting the SP2 a few months back. That's ok, though - I do love my SP2.

The non-Wacom compatible pen is an absolute deal killer. I am sorry but that is a step backward for business use, bringing an inferior technology not widely adopted by industry to a business device. It can have a thousand levels of pressure sensitivity and make OneNote do backflips but without 100% Wacom compatibility it makes it, at best, hit or miss for those who need digitizer precision. Based upon the struggles with ESRI already, it will also probably be completely useless in clumsy (but essential) applications in my life such as ArcGIS.

I may. I haves a 2520 though it is nice it's rather choppy. We will be replacing an aging desktop soon this could be the way to go.

 

[tertitten74]

I can't afford one
