Hello Everybody!
Last monday Microsoft announced the arrival of a new Surface line. The Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2. The launch of these new tablets will be on monday October 21st.
Next month I'll be working for 10 years straight at the same company and therefore I will recieve a gratification bonus. What better to use this money for then to buy a Surface, I thought to myself. So... yesterday I phoned Microsoft and placed a pre-order for the new Surface Pro 2.
It will be my first tablet pc ever and I would like to share my experiences with you all. Perhaps it will be usefull for those of you who are considering to buy a new Surface tablet pc. And offcourse I'm happy with all the advice you folks can give me.
Through this thread you can follow me ==> counting down the days until October 21st/ 22nd :huh: ==> waiting at the mailbox for the UPS man to arrive :shock: ==> finally opening the package and seeing my brand new Surface Pro 2 for the very first time ==> and offcourse my experiences with the tablet pc .
I hope you folks will follow this thread and share the fun with me, waiting and opening the package!
Greetz,

Some information about the Surface Pro 2:
Introducing the New Microsoft Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2
What did I order?
- The Surface Pro 2, 128gb version
- The Type Cover 2, black (I chose this one because it has 'laptop' keys instead of touch keys)
