I Shouldn'. Us. M. Phone while drinking
I've been thinking the same thing, its the in-built LTE that swings it for me.
What's the average batter life on the Surface 2 now? still 10 hours plus?

Went to Argos to replace my Surface 2 for the speakers.
The lass had never even heard of the tablet before
Again, straight off, the top left where the two materials meet, not flush.
Are people just missing these small things or are they forgetting how good the original RT was?
EDIT : Jesus christ at my posts last night. It's the Android keypad on my phone, it's frustrating, so it'll put full stops which completely wrecks the flow, and obviously, I was kinda intoxicated.

Those posts, put mine to shame. And thats saying something.
Still no release date for 2520 or price, or for surface 2 lte for that matter.
Surface rt also seems to be holding its price to well on the second hand market.
I also wonder what lenovo is upto.
Just a case?

Why you returning yours?

I'm a bit disappointed with the build and the speakers.
I'm not sure why they're touted as better.
I was looking at returning it for a refund my self to be honest, I preferred the original.
I can tell some difference with the performance and I can see a difference with the screen.

Yeah, I am somewhat wishing I'd just kept the original lol.
I'd have had an extra 100 quid which I could have put towards a R290.

Aren't Lenovo due to release something by end of month?
I did look at HP as well, they have a bay-trail with 1920x1200 screen, but to be honest, it is a bit meh..
Hoping to see some more bay-trail tablets announced, but the only RT tab so far that has me interested is the 2520, purely because I have been so impressed with the 920 and 1020 and their nearly continuous updates...
Still on the fence for RT, I might go for it, the bit that worries me is that it is a 2yr investment really, and Id prefer full windows as a safeguard, but Im also thinking for what I plan to use it for, RT would be fine, just don't like limiting my options
Well that was some fun at PC World, walking in for a full refund.
They straight up said they wouldn't give one unless their was a fault.
By the grace of god, I had kept all my text messages to get my secure codes to access my Bitlocker code via Skydiver, not only that, but unusually for me I kept the tab with all of that info on it open on my phone!, and was able to prove that I had suffered crashes and a hard crash that needed the system to fully reinstall itself.
Back on my RT, and I actually feel better about it, it feels just as quick and the whole 1080p thing feels exaggerated to me now, esp for video playback.
to add, I think 8.1 has given the RT a new lease of life, kinda what Win8 did for a lot of older pcs by just running better.
However, I will absolutely miss that second lower step in the kick stand, but its just not worth the 380 asking price for it.

The crackling speakers is common it seems, and I'm far from the first person who's disappointed with the speaker quality by some of the search results.
