Uh oh.
A review where they didnt use it?

Go into a store and try it yourself. The keyboard is fantastic. Oh and maybe next time this review might review it after launch day when everything is switched on???

I'm pretty sure they couldn't write a couple thousand word review without playing with it

Having now used it myself ( and not just referring to the many reviews that say te keyboards great ). It is well a great keyboard. 

Everything was smooth, app transition, UI, Desktop IE as well as Metro IE. My USB flash went straight in and picked straigt up. Etc etc. Pretty much the experience was the opposite of this review. 

I remember alot of people expecting some overblown reviews from some media due to Apple love or frenzy. Same thing you get with a Halo hater reviewing Halo in the first place.

Luckily people arent listening to these reviews. Probably the reason why Microsoft as set up booths where you just try it yourself. One is set up at my local Shopping mall. People love it. Microsoft even encouraging people to compare it to whatever tablet/Ipad they ave on them at the time. Pricelss seeing peoples face when Safari says Sorry cant play on this device, and the same Webpage working flawlessly on Desktop RT IE.

 

Definately take your Ipads etc to one of these booths. Guarenteed to be impressed.

Have you tried games?

I had a bash at Hydro Thunder Hurricane yesterday when I went. Didnt feel or look any different to my Windows Phone version. Well it had a better smoother framerate on surface in comparison. But the visuals were the same. And tried a demo of Angry Birds to. It played just like Angry Birds but a better picture as I expected. 

I tried the true multitasking to. Side by side apps. Worked really well. Flicking your thumb from the left really quick through te open apps was neat to. Its instant, like you cant really tell whether its actually loading or just there.

Slick aint the word. 

Nice to see the Marketplace having loads of extra apps compared to the preview Windows 8 I write this off. The Microsoft guy said it was accessing the US store as the Store for UK was not live yet.
