Livin’ on the edge with Microsoft Surface Pro

en-US_Surface_Win_8_Pro_128GB_RM1For the next few days, I shall be in Las Vegas for HP GPC 2013.

And, to give Microsoft’s Surface Pro a real and thorough workout, I will be taking it along with me as my only PC!

This is living dangerously, I know.

My Surface Pro 128 has both desktop and Modtro apps loaded. Earlier tonight, I added Microsoft Expression Suite to it in order to transcode videos I will be making there for immediate uploads – bandwidth willing! - to Vimeo. I may even try to do a podcast or two.

While I liked SurfaceRT, the limitation of not having Outlook made it a little more that a popinjay in this space, so it is relegated to being a toy for my kids at this time. Well, until Modtro business apps show up for it.

Surface Pro, on the other hand, seems to be up to the task, and I intend to see if it really is.

Upon my return from HP GPC, I will post my like and dislikes about it.

However, in keeping with our review policies here, a full review won’t be posted 90 or so days from the official release of Surface Pro.

So far though, apart for a constant issue, that of the device becoming hot to touch, Surface Pro has been an exemplary device.

I like it.
