Really looking forward to mine now.
I hope the 100 quid cost to upgrade was worth it.

Are they offering some sort of trade in for current Surface RT users to upgrade in the UK?
Or do I have to steal someone's iPad and trade that in?

I don't think they want any Surface RT's 
If they did offer a trade in program, it'd be good, but they don't.

Downloading some video editing software to attempt to upload my awful unboxing video.
I have to edit it first as the orientation is wrong. Plus my Sky Drive code is visible!

This is pretty hilarious that you've managed to get your hands on one. I was umming and ahhing whether to do a review again but it'll hardly be worth it by the time I get around to it

I'm gutted I didn't check PCWorld yesterday.
I didn't even know they were in the country (Doesn't this mean that they're not running a complete Windows RT 8.1?)
I guess I can wait till tomorrow, due before 12.

They have them in stock, you could order and get it tomorrow potentially.

Though I would appreciate someone doing a direct comparison with the RT in mind!

Terrible un-boxing video is uploading .....

Says unavailable to collect in store and order online for 23/10/13 dispatch?
They've literally only just changed it to that.
Might have to cancel my PCWorld order now.
Looks like wrists have been slapped.
EDIT : And it's been delayed.

Space wise, I have a couple of tiny apps from the store added but:
17.2GB Free of 25.2 GB
There is also a 3.29 GB recovery partition, which when removed would put the free space to 20 GB. Not bad MS!
