--==Used the Surface Pro for one week==--
I just received my Surface with Windows Pro a week ago and
wanted to share my experience.
I live in Denmark so I got a friend to pick it up for me. I did
not want a keyboard from the states because of the Danish specific keys. Fortunately,
I could buy a type cover for the Surface RT that also works for the Surface
Pro.
I am going to use the Surface Pro for Email, Notes, Remote
Desktop, Games, Visual Studio.
I could only get the 64 GB model because the 128 GB model were
sold out. Logically with 64 GB, the space is tight; therefore, I bought a 64 GB
SD card. To my surprise, I can install some applications and games on the SD
card, some not. I tried with the following applications:
-
MS Office Project 2013
-
Red Alert
-
Battlefield Heroes
--==Initial impressions==--
The keyboard works almost as expected. The buttons are a
little small and I do some typos. The trackpad is annoying but the pen is a
good replacement and I use an external mouse a lot for regular work.
Power vise I have been positively surprised. For surfing and
watching videos, the power lasts really long. I did not time it but it feels
long, though not as long as the iPad. The sleep mode also works really well,
only used 3% power after been asleep for 10 hours.
If I start to play games or do other heavy work the power
drains like a normal notebook, 3-4 hours before I have to plug it to power.
