Stability... finally!

[WillysJeepMan]

Since becoming a Surface 2 owner again (a month ago) I've been hammering this little device... really pressing it to accomplish the work I need to get done with a mobile device. It has done remarkably well... far better than it did in the past.

Two things that I've noticed that are different from when I first owned a Surface RT and then a Surface 2...

Stability... System updates no longer hose the system. Before, without fail, every time there was a system update, I'd end up having to troubleshoot and sometimes refresh/restore the system. Now, updates are smooth and trouble-free.

Battery life... before, battery life was not bad. Not as good as my iPad 4 (approx. 1/2 the life of the iPad 4). Now, working with Office and locally stored apps and a little browser for about 6 hours and it reports 72% remaining.


In typical Microsoft fashion, just when they get it right.... they kill it. :angry:

Gotta say I agree, after recent updates over the last couple of months and a refresh around the time my device was filling up-which ironically was seemingly 'solved' by an unannounced regular update, giving my space back..- (32 gb S2) its still a solid performer-its actually my daily driver device. I'm not a power user clearly but for what I do (light doc work/browsing) its still great and still going strong. Really curious about the coming update. I'm starting to hope its actually mostly 8.1 given what I hear about the tablet interaction on W10.
