The Official "I got a Surface Pro 2" Thread

[unstoppablekem]

Yes, I did take the idea from "I got a surface 2" thread, but seriously, have you guys received your surface pro 2 yet? If so, what do you think? I have received mine, but I won't be home till 5:00PM.

Edit: Here's a link to my unboxing.

Got my Surface pro 2 a few hours ago. Got it set up and typing this reply on it right now

Everything is awesome so far. Obviously it is much faster than my Surface RT which is the primary reason I went for the Pro this time around. Next, I'm going to be installing Lightroom and Photoshop to try out photo editing with the digitizer.

I'm at home and loving my surface pro 2. I made a YouTube video of it from my 920, and it's uploading currently. It was 1.7GB, so...

Here are some pictures of it, while my video is uploading. I'm using my phone to upload the video, btw. Enjoy the pics!

Got mine at lunch (128Gb) from Best Buy, so far enjoying having the SP back (I had the 1st one but moved on...) I have to say though, SP(2) is the most conflicting device I've owned in a long time! Beautifully designed but too thick and heavy, fast and fluid but has fans, great screen but Win 8.1 is still not great at handling high DPI. Right now though I'm on my 2nd honeymoon with it.

Got my 128gb Surface Pro 2 and thoroughly enjoying it....very new to Windows 8 so im still adjusting. Although the device feels heavier than I expected its still amazingly portable.

Ooh, really want to know how this works out. Seems like the SP2 would be great for shooting tethered, and the idea of editing in my lap....

I thought of that too; except the size of the files my Nikon pushes out - I'd kill my storage in 30sec flat :/

I played minecraft on it though, running Fancy and Normal render. Got 45 FPS. Better than 15FPS on my Mac.

Compared to my 6 year old Lenovo, it flies.

That's still damn good! I'm sure you'll love it. I had to sell my rt to buy this device!

I know, first world problems lol but seriously, I can say without a doubt that it's honestly the fastest PC I've owned. Haven't had a chance to play minecraft yet, but I'm definitely gonna try it out between classes tomorrow!

Also, GTA IV runs great for anyone that still remembers that game

Edit: yes, Roman still wants to go bowling.
