Microsoft won't let me activate Skype or my Sky Drive yet ;(

You're TOO early!

Martini1991 · 18 Oct 2013 at 12:22

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

bledd · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:02

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?

Martini1991 · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:03

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!

Greenja · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:18

Looking forward to seeing it!

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

Martini1991 · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:31

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.

Greenja · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:44

What do you think the chances are of PCWorld having a Pro 2 in stock this weekend?

Martini1991 · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:45

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!

Says unavailable to collect in store and order online for 23/10/13 dispatch? :confused:

POB · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:52

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

Glaucus · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:54

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!

Martini1991 · 18 Oct 2013 at 14:03

Very unhappy now

MS can suck a lemon.

POB · 18 Oct 2013 at 15:22

Few benchmarks:

SunSpider 1.0.2 ran :
391.4ms in Metro.
381.8ms in Desktop IE.

With 3D mark:
Ice Store: Maxed out!
Ice Store Extreme: 9306
Ice Store Unlimited : 14070
