"Great product, almost too easy to use."
5.0 starson by gaijindragonslayer_2Pros: The MS Surface RT is very easy to use on its own but with the TOUCH cover it comes into its own as the latest entry into the tablet market. Set up was easy, I am have an iPad and am shocked at how easy it is to type and swipe.
Cons: I expected a larger click sound when I put my kickstand up.
I do not have the skill with words to praise this highly enough.Summary: The only problem I had was how easy it was to set up and how easy it is to type on screen and better when using the TOUCH cover. After reading the reviews I dreaded being disappointed by my purchase of the first MS Surface RT. I expected pages in Explorer to load slowly, they loaded as fast as on my iPad. I also expected problems using the interface as I normally use OSX/iOS or Windows 7. I really cannot praise this exciting new tablet high enough. The pundits might be right about the number of sales but they are utterly wrong about the quality of Windows 8 RT. It is the most exciting experience with a new product I have had since I first encountered the iPad.
The packaging was first class, the build of the tablet is superb, and Windows 8 RT is astoundingly brilliant and with the TOUCH it is the most amazing tablet on the market. It is impossible to overhype the MS Surface RT. I think this could take sales away from the iPad for those of us who need to work, play and create content. I love my iPad for its many Apps but I adore the MS Surface RT with the TOUCH cover. With so much hate around for this new tablet, it's almost; "a love that dare not say its name."

And, the reason that the sales are so low is exactly because of what they say. It's a vicious circle, where these pundits extol the virtues of Apple products and malign the competition as useless and overpriced (it is, indeed, funny when someone says that a product is overpriced, while an Apple one is not) and so, just like you, people think the product is bad. You had already bought it so you regretted the purchase but you were pleasantly surprised when you finally used the device. The problem is, most people don't buy the device because of the review and, so, never get their hands on the device, which leads to lackluster sales.

Thanking you for your review,what about the functionality of word and excel? Is it full functionality for these two software? Can i use mouse with this device? Is the synchronization available with PC for contact/calender etc., I have IPAD but mouse cannot be used.
I am looking a product to take notes while reading do you think this product is great for that, IPAD also can be used but i have the difficulty of mouse as well as functionality of word and excel seems to be not so good
