  • Abandoned Microsoft Surface RT

    I’ve abandoned the Microsoft Surface RT, mainly due to lack of usage. I didn’t mind the interface, however I must say the lack of applications was a certainly a failing point in my opinion. I’ve since gotten rid of mine, as once I got my new MacBook Air I found I hardly used it.

    I bet I am not the only person who has done this to be honest.

  • Microsoft Surface RT

    I ended up buying a Microsoft Surface RT tablet, as they dropped in price quite a lot. I ended up getting one for $223 AUD locally from JB Hi Fi.

    I know this model has been replaced by Microsoft Surface 2, but for the price I paid it was a good pickup.

    The thing that attracted me to the units is how smooth they are to use. Being able to split the screen and show 2 applications at the same time was something I really liked. In addition, the micro SD card slot and USB port was something feature wise I could appreciate.

    So far I am really happy with the unit and continue to appreciate the hardware and software. If I had a complaint it would be that I cannot find an Password Safe application in the Windows App Store that can read/write psafe3 files. If I find one I will post back.

    Surprised no one has compiled and posted a Putty arm based build, as that too would be nice to have available.

    All in all still very impressed.
