Haters, Haters everywhere!

Many will eat nasty things by this years ends :D

it will feel good :)


That's Slmebeast for ya though...you've never seen his posts before?

He's a very - "I hate sunshine. I hate flowers. " kind of guy :)

If even you think like this though, I'd say RT is in trouble :).

Still, I say it will be a successful product. The interface is very nice on tablets, and as long as there is a decent flow of apps there won't be much to complain about it apart from the price. I think the price will drop very quick though. It is a $300 worth of tablet, nothing more.

I think the fact Windows 8 is very esthetically pretty and that everything Microsoft is bundling with it runs smooth and much more fluid than stuff on  Android or iPad will carry it with the masses. If they can fill the app store quickly, that will help too.

But for PC users who are finally looking to have that PC experience in a tablet form, Surface RT is not the answer. 

I agree with this 100%

Whether some like it or not almost all reviews are saying that as a Productivity station RT DOES offer more than Android and IPAD. Some reviews even mentioning there is workaround apps available on IPAD or Android but these dont come colse to what RT Office offers the user. 

Also something of note that reading reviews I wasnt aware of, is RT is shipping with the legacy or desktop version of Internet Explorer. Meaning all those videos etc on IPAD and Anroid that come up saying sorry cannot be viewed on this device can be viewed on Windows RT. Thought that was quite significant also. 

Something else that RT has is the keyboard. I just doublechecked my preorder and for 399 GBP I am being sent the touch cover free. Nice.

Sure you can get Bluetooth keyboards for other OS's Tablets, but these need charging and carrying around. 

All reviews basically say that the apps are holding it back. Something which will not matter in 6 months time. As devs will not be able to ignore the largest userbase for apps around. 

For the crowd that looks for a tablet experience with the best available productivity its a no brainer Surface RT.

If like above you want a PC experience wait for Surface Pro.
