rtbiscuit Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 i keep looking at buying a microsoft surface tablet, but the reviews are so mixed. difficult to remove the fan boys from the equation and get fact from fiction. I know it has its weakness but for what i want it for i think it will be fine. that and i like the windows setup and it will link it with my desktop and xbox. ho hum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Gadget Show Live and was quite looking forward to having a go on one until I tried to type something. Rest of it works ok, still prefer my original iPad to it though, but then I'm used to it. I do like the tiles on W8 being live and able to make them bigger and smaller. Doesnt seem very intuitive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Only place you seem to be able to buy from is direct from Microsoft or amazon. No shop sells them. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 As I said last night Rich I would pay what Microsoft want right now for a surface..... Have you looked at what other tablets are about that will run Windows 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 amazon are about £50 more expensive than direct from microsoft. have looked at other alternatives, but they are all even more expensive. the Dell 10 is about £620, the pro versions when they come out in jan will be twice as much as the surface RT. lenovo and other ones start at about £800. becuase they are all basically laptops.

Dblock Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Just what proportion of product reviews (say on Amazon) have been written by the vendor ? 99.9% I have seen a lot of products on amazon where it has 1-2 stars and people say don't buy it, it's crap. Those reviews remain so I think they could be pretty trust worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tending to agree - discount the ones that give it 5 stars (unless there's loads and only 1 or 2 negatives) - could depend on the proportion - if its going say 50/50, I thinking ignore the top 50 and read the bottom 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
