I"m sitll using my Surface 2, but it's becoming less useful all the time. This appears to be similar to the Surface 2, but it looks like it's running regular windows rather than WindowsRT, which is my problem now. Windows RT never could install regular windows programs and the Windows Store has never taken off and there isn't much new coming to it. I generally don't mind the 10" screen for casual away-from-work fill in use while traveling, but lately I've been preferring to take my full laptop when I travel. I've been thinking about a new Surface, but I may still prefer a larger screen. Otherwise, the package size has been great.
