Would you recommend the Surface RT with my preferences?

Does UC Browser have the same functionality as IE? Is it just a UI wrapper?

Wrapper. Though some of the wrappers have added features.

Thanks! Do I have to download any software for my PC? And is it windows 7 compatible?

It comes with the Remote Desktop found on any Windows computer. Just make sure you enable Remote Desktop on the computer you are connecting to.

Only on the Professional and Enterprise editions. Home Premium cannot host RDP sessions.

eBay, Amazon, and Mint are available. WPC hasn't made an app yet. The eBay app is actually pretty good. Almost better than their website, lol.

Thanks! Are Bluetooth mouses fluid or is there a noticeable response length?

After using splashtop, I tried teamviewer, (this is on my phone still), and splashtop was very laggy, and team viewer had all these restrictions. Will they be like that on the surface? What is the best remit desktop client for windows phone, and windows rt?

UPDATE: I LOVE IT. The display is vivid, it's smooth, and overall its a treat to use.

Save up your money some more, and buy either the touch/type cover 2 (lean more on the type 2). You'll fall in love with it all over again

By the way what browser do you use? I like IE, but I would prefer something a little less vanilla. I tried UC BrowserHD but it didn't let me set it as default, which is a deal breaker for me.

Well, at first I don't like vanilla IE too, but got used to it, so sorry can't help you with browsers :X

That's okay. I'm warming up to IE. How do I access my music on my L520 and L920 when I plug them into my Surface?

How do I get the drivers? It won't install correctly.

 

[Jack Janik]

Also, could I use any third party USB controller to play games, or does it have to be the official one?

 

[Jack Janik]

And what's a windows 8 app that's similar to "getthemall"?

 

[Jack Janik]

So I set up my Surface for "desktop" use. It's like a full computer.

I'll try later today, will update later.

I think unless the drivers need some kind of application to open, any driver could work with the RT. My driver can be opened easily though.
