I got one of these. I also have a Linx. Both are 10"
I hardly use them, and the other week, I dug them out and the Linx, which is capable of installing anything I want to throw at it, and was running Linux, simply wont start up anymore, and the Surface which only seemed to want to install Windows RT and nothing else. does start up, but it wont install anything because it wants to update its version of Windows store, and it wont do that cos its on RT, and so Im kind of left with a useless pile of junk... Or is it?
I mean... If I can install anything except Win RT then I can get some other use out of it.
I would like to use it as simply a Video player, but I cannot install ANY Video player onto it at all it seems?
Anyone offer any reason for me to not throw it at a wall?
