• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Report on surface rt

almost 1 year ago you all bought me a new win 8 surface rt 64 to replace my night time server monitor (night light) lol. I did add a 64 GB extra drive in it so I guess it is now a 128, lol.

Well it is still running great I have not jail broke it so it still starts in under 20 seconds. I could not be more happy. I have an old laptop Compaq cq-60 and even thou I replaced the hard drive in Dec it still takes 5 minutes to start.

I will give MS an attaboy on the surface rt 64 models even thou they are discontinued.
 
We're using Surface Pro 3 at work. And they are indeed very nice machines. The could easily replace a laptop! (for office work)

pitty they are so expensive!

since MS quit making the RT, the price dropped last year and I got my unit with keypad and extra 64 gig mini sd card for $225
 
Now that IS cheap! We bought ours, including the keyboard, bluetooth mouse, docking station, VGA- and ethernet adapters for about 1600€

But with the i5 CPU, 8 Gigs of RAM and a 256 Gig SSD, that is to be expected. And of course putting the Mickey$oft logo on anything about doubles the price! :biggrin-new:
