wait till you really start to play around with it, your gonna see that the RT can do about 90% of what your pro can do! only thing the RT can't do is run the legacy apps...trust me YOU and the WIFE will have fun with it! lol but out of curiosity how much heavier is the pro compared to the RT?
I got to give her a quick rundown of how it works last night. she really loves it. I like it also. the RT definitely misunderstood. for a tegra3, its pretty fast. no lag or anything in the UI. although it has a 720p display, its actually very nice. im still amazed at how slim and light it is. IMO, a way more premium feel and look than any ipad.
I mean its not like the pro is some pounds heavier. but I can tell the difference in thickness and weight. the RT is very slim actually. but that's the tradeoff for the Power the pro has. it has an i5 processor and fans in it. you have to remember its a full blown pc/ultrabook in a tablet form. I really love my pro device. my coolest gadget yet. In my household I now have a Pro, RT, galaxy note 10.1, Nexus 7, and Ipad first generation. ipad is my daughters now.
very impressed with RT so far. tested out my thumbdrive with movies on it and played just fine on the RT.
I know the new RT is going to be very good. she was asking me if she could get some apps like she has on android device. I said sure, just search the store. if its not there then you can just use the full blown internet explorer. which actually eliminates the need for a lot of apps.
highly recommend people get this RT once
ebay sale pops up again. I got a great deal on 64gb.
