Where can I actually order one to get one for the 23rd?
Or is there no where?
Argos have the Surface 2 (not the Pro) for collection as early as Saturday I've noticed.
Not sure if it will really be there but it is possible to reserve it.

Good point I hadn't thought about that, purple shirts do next day delivery IIRC, not sure about Microsoft.

The argos thing is confusing me.

Windows 8.1 Pro seems available now.

If you click on the I installed Preview from the store option, it opens the MS store and starts downloading 8.1.

I've put a reservation down in my local Argos, they reckon they'll have it anytime Saturday

Cool, with pre-orders there is always one retailer that breaks early.
Shame they don't stock the Type Cover 2 yet.

I think they've just got a duff date on.
If I get it Saturday, then great, but I can't see them even being in the country yet.

Its hard to say, still it cost nothing.
Caporegime
Aye yeah.

I can see my Surface arriving the day I'm due to go on holiday, which will annoy me greatly.
Soldato
Mine will arrive the day after I have to leave for a week, but its not even a holiday

I'm all set on getting the Surface 2 RT.
I'm just very sceptical about RT's longevity, Baytrail tablets are so enticing, except their build quality.
If ONLY this was the standard of device available last year.

8.1's definitely worth having.
Still not sure what to do, as it's definitely not a bad tablet.

My last reservation only now I would tell people is to be happy with the marketplace, the 8.1 update has really polished the metro side of Win8.
I hate saying it so bluntly, but I cannot fathom going back to Droid or iPad style tablets, they have got this right and they still have some way to go.
Well I'm hopping the price of them drops to like £100, as I'm totally skint, two hard months. Last month some custom boots, and this month partying and eating and London trip. But i need something asap. So hoping rt tablet will drop significantly once surface 2 is out. Then upgrade as and when i can.
Might be able to get some extra work over christmas.
