Finally a new notebook after 4 years, and my first tablet, a Surface Pro.
Using for 1 day, pretty cool.

-Full HD Screen, can't complain anything as it is more than enough for me.
-Very fast CPU as a tablet, quite fast CPU as a notebook. i5-3317U, passmark = 31xx, doubled my old notebook's T6500, almost a half of my workstation
-128GB SSD (not eMMC on iPad or Android tablet or Surface RT/2), very fast, much room to spare
-4GB RAM, not much but enough for most purposes (you will want 8GB if you do a lot photoshop)
-Wacom pen, a must have for a productive tablet
—Battery can last for four hours on continue use on balanced mode, could be longer using power saver. An external battery can give you another 6 hours
-Heavy? Yes comparing to an iPad, but it's just too light as a notebook that I can carry to lectures for writing my notes
-1 design fault: high pitch noise of CPU C3/4 states. This is found on all SP1 and 2, damn MS, but actually audible only at silent places.

Bought the Microsoft 2-year complete, not cheap ($150 CAD for 2 years, then $50 each accidental damages (max 2)),
but using a tablet with security is priceless

Here are the Pictures, enjoy.

唔記得一樣好重要
就係SP2個支架好似係多角度過SP1

Yes, but that's just an addition angle for putting on your lap;
I probably don't want to burn my brother.

請問呢隻 win8 係唔係去唔到傳統 desktop 模式架?

去到，而且你喜歡的話，可以裝到Win 7，
其實哩部野同x86枱機完全一樣，裝Linux都得。

係唔係 wifi only?

Yes, I am not aware of an option with Cellular,
and for lan as bebird mentioned, you need an adapter.

10.6" is too small for working

I actually expect to connect it to a monitor when I stay at my office in the future,
then 10.6 inch is perfect to carry around and do light office work when I am in the lab or out.

This size is great when I put it flat on the table and jot notes, after I tried it practically.

SP is definitely a nicely built device. My friend got one SP2 to replace his Nexus 7 for digital drawing & notes taking, and have positive feedback so far. I've played it once and kickstand is more re ...

Definitely we will see how the hardware grows; they will need some time to get polished before hitting the sweet spot;
I am just quite sure that x86 Windows tablets are having a bright future.

64GB version is only 2k

Yes if in stock, but I doubt if it ever would.
Anyway, the 128GB at this price is a fking steal, not even can I assemble a computer with this price using similar hardware regardless form factor,
not to mention the Windows 8 OS itself

not in HK

Actually I do find HK's electronic product availability is very passive;
except for popular things like Apple products, others are slow to appear and few have promotions.

For example, you can find no student deals for Surface as you could in Canada,
and on dell hk, they don't have the touch series of monitor which received very good feedback here.
