Smile Surface Pro 2 - Win 8.1

Just got one today. The thing is a beast of a computer in a minimal package (2lbs).

I skipped the 1st gen Surface Pro - not quite enough performance for my needs.

The Pro2 bumped the ram available from 4Gb to 8Gb. It now also has display output of 3,840 x 2,160 - that's 8.3Mpx, or over 4 HD1080p screens. -Yikes. How long until those 8Mpx screens are available?

The Wacom pen is silky smooth.
Better cameras...

Not liking the screen-glare at times. (avoid spot light reflections)

Win 8.1 brought back some missing functionality. - nice.

Still setting-up & testing....

Anyone else get one?

Oh, I also picked up the Docking station (damn impulse items.) It's pretty cool; but could be better with a few design changes.
