If that is your main req, you should not look for a small tablet. Get a powerful smart-book/ultrabook instead. Much more powerful, more power for the money. Better to work with.

You can run VS,PS on the Pro, but its pretty small :D Performance is OK.

Yes, and it's running fine with no problems on my current tablet. But as I said I need an upgrade. I am running all of my apps and still have absolutely no problem.

Win8 have a fantastic resource management system.

Here is the proof.

I even compared it to a friend with 6GB (4gb available because we need 32bit version) and it was absolutely no difference in the way the OS was running. The only problem is that I can't run games and he can, and trust me, I ain't no gamer.

Dave, I also need a touchscreen. That is my main problem. Laptops don't have touchscreen, and if it does, it's very hard to operate since you can't flip the screen (I was interested in such models until I saw I can't operate them right).

there is laptops touchscreens, but if you want be able to go to tablet style you have to pay more. check at duo 11 or duo 13. they are really nice and powerful, but will cost you a bit more.

Yes, they are nice, slim but I will have to sell my kidneys to get one of those. What I saw was something similar, in a local store. A little more bulky and a little more cheap (around 600$). It came with Win8 preinstalled so it was pretty much what I needed.

How much was your Surface. Who is the actual producer of the hardware?

$600 sounds ok, just make sure it comes with windows Pro, not RT.

Don't know the price exactly, got it from my employer but I guess the price is around $800 is US. It's Microsoft that is the producer, but I don't know who they hired to do the actual job.

And there is no official information about this? I am really interested who is the actual producer behind this.

This is just like Beats by Dr. Dre. On all the hardware and headsets it's Beats logo, as the main producer Microsoft is featured, but the actual producer is Monster.

AIUI the RT devices with an ARM SOC have a locked bootloader, the Pro tabs with the Intel CPUs are unlocked. The issues that can arise are due to poor hi-res tablet UIs (maybe Plasma Active be ideal) and the usual lack of drivers in exotic hardware[1], so do your research before you commit.


MS haven't done well at all with their Surfaces, and are offering various deals on them ATM, if the Pro versions come down further, they'll become very tempting indeed.

Edit: Wiki has the Taiwanese former Asus subsidiary Pegatron as the mfr.

Double the battery life (increase weight, thickness, whatever) and I'd buy it.

It's already pretty thick. The battery life is OK, when you think of what you can do. Other tables can't even do half of what this can.

Anyone else got you hands on one?
