*** The Official Microsoft Surface Thread ***

Mines not there either :confused:. But haven't checked it before so not sure if it ever was. Hopefully just a bug with the site. Edit: it's working now for me.

And thanks for the write-up POB, I was worried about RAM usage with only 4GB, but I rarely run VMs so it should be OK.

Also probably stupid question, but it's been years since I pre-ordered anything, the site says "Ships by October 21", does that mean it's sent out on the 21st, or arrives on the 21st?

My order has disappeared too. It was there before. I might give them a call tomorrow to check all is OK.

Update: My order is now and says its in process.

22nd isn't coming fast enough!

Anyone got any good reviews or videos of the Surface Pro / Pro 2 to keep me satisfied till release day? Have already read/watched the interesting ones I could find.

Keep me sane!
 
My friend just bought my Surface RT.
Hmm.

Get in quick if you are thinking about the 256GB Pro. Other countries France and USA have delivery dates of late December now.

I don't think it will be too long before the UK dates slip.

I was waiting till John Lewis stock these so I can take advantage of their 2 year warrantee.

I'm going to be buying the 128gb version, anyone any idea how likely it is they will stock these on or close to release date? Or should I maybe pre-order direct from Microsoft?

Annoying that the Type Cover 2 has a release date over a week after the Surface Pro 2, seems a bit pointless having it without the cover!
 
Bit late to any kind of MS Surface party. For some reason my missus wants to buy a MS Surface RT (there's one on the indian meal website) for £319 including touch cover tablet keyboard.

It's a 32gb model so how much actual disk space is there left after the OS is on?

edit: it's ok I found it on the MS website. What a con...

Surface RT:
The 32 GB version has approximately 15 GB free hard disk space.

At that price I would avoid. Its not an offer this is just the price MS charges for them.

I liked the RT, but the new Surface 2 will be so much better.

I think the price may drop further.
 
Nope, everywhere else says 1 year warranty, check the tech specs section of the Surface Pro 2 pre-order page from Microsoft.

That's why quite a few people who bought the original Surface / Surface Pro did so from John Lewis.
 
Barclaycard fraud department just rang. Seems my Surface Pro was just charged to it.

So looking like it should arrive on time.
 
Nice! :)

Argh don't know whether to pre-order or wait for John Lewis to get them in stock!? An extra year warranty seems like quite a big thing though to me!
