Definitely the surface, better processor more ram and most importantly a 1080p screen
and stylus…why do people forget the most important thing
also free Office
I dont think the Pros come with office unfortunately; only the RT versions and the cheaper Intel tablets from other manufacturers. It would be a huge value add for me if they did though!
Transformer T100 comes with office.
You can get that for free:) least of my worries
And the superb build quality.
T100 was for 404… A few months back
Correct. Been and gone. No use now.
Damn it gets harder and harder!!
That's what she said!
Depends on what you will use it for. Surface has much better specs, but the battery life is a joke. Battery on the T100 is around 3x longer.
and includes keyboard
thanks mate! decision made!
64gb difference for $100. Would it worth?
128GB Surface Pro ships with 83GB free, 64GB has only 23GB.
It's a much bigger difference than it appears on the surface ;)
You can get rid of the recovery partition and make a recovery USB drive instead, that will free up a bit of space.
i use a 64GB sdxc card and have show up in my library (128pro)
works real well
Wow! Half the price of the Pro 2! Not that you can buy it anywhere, anyway.
Is there still a $10 off voucher for new online signups?
It's $5, not $10.
JB Hifi have the 128GB for the same price as Harvey Norman's 128GB. If that's more convenient for anyone else.
Actually it's $598 at JB so it's a dollar more expensive :)
Darn, I bought one from HN last Sunday -.-
HN has 7 days price guarantee
Could anyone tell how is battery life?
With some minor tweaks (turn down/disable some settings) can get a good 4-5hrs out of it. Also MS is releasing a Power Type Cover in 'Q1 2014' which should bring battery life on par with Surface Pro 2 with Haswell.
The power cover will be thicker than the current Type 2 cover though but is back lit with a 'mechanical' keyboard as per the Type 2 cover

Pretty poor by most accounts. That's whats holding me back personally.
Here's a very comprehensive test:
http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/microsoft/55475-surface-pro-…
Also remember that batteries degrade over time and what could be considered barely tolerable now, can easily be unacceptable in a year's time. They also cannot be disassembled for battery replacement without the use of a heat gun and are virtually impossible to put back together afterwards.
Does this built in have GPS?
No GPS unfortunately. Can use wifi location but as you probably agree, that's not the same
If i use surface for editing photo using photoshop/lightroom
Is it a good choice?This isn't cheap compare to the price that was $698 before, and it included Keyboard attachment as well.
Deciding whether to buy now or wait for more reductions lol
For an i5 ultrabook in a tablet form factor, I don't think you will see it much cheaper than this.
I'm in the same boat, 499 with touch cover definitely yes. But I'm not too sure now.
Just pulled the trigger on the 64GB to replace my Surface RT. Not looking forward to the decreased battery life but have found a need since I travel interstate a fair bit for work and don't have VPN access and also need to install some desktop apps like IBM Notes would be handy.
Hopefully now retailers eill reduce the t100 price, i just favor that tablet over surface because it works like a netbook "no stand" i just dont like the stand feature on the surface looks clumsy and not functional in certain scenarios
T100 battery life is well over double the surface's and has a real keyboard.
As much as I am agonising over a purchase of this in the context of poor battery life, there's some sense in going for this cheap(ish) v1: you can bank that v3 will be slimmer/less bulky and as such those that spend $600 on v1 as well as those who spent $1200 on v2 alike will be wishing they had the v3 ;)
Anyone know how long this price is liable to be around? Would like to upgrade my asus tf300t to it, but need to sell that first!
I think it's a permanent price drop judging from how the Microsoft AU store is also selling these for about $600 as well, it's not listed as being on sale or anything.
what is the power requirements for the surface? can it be charged from a regular computer usb?
not, this is not using a baytrail atom cpu.
i bought the 64Gb $170 extra in december :(
depressing, I will get the surface pro 2 when it is under $450 in 2015 feb.Damn no keyboard. Was about to get one.
Got mine from JB Hifi last week for $647 with touch cover (haggled a bit and got a good $50 off)
so yeah, this deal is okay I suppose. Keep in mind, touch cover is worth $99 so this is decent if you dont care for the cover.
If ur really gonna buy a sp1 u wouldn't even want the touch cover coz ur gonna be getting a power cover to fix the terrible battery life..
Elaborate on a power cover please.
Any idea how much that's going to be? Thanks.
wow thats dirt cheap! surface pro for 499 or transformer t100 for 480ish…..
decisions decisions.
what do you guys think?
