oh man!! they have a nice 64GB for $249!!
Wow thanks for the heads up. I was literally about to purchase this for my woman for her bay this week. Its such a great deal. BUT that Asus T100 book comes out Oct. 18th. Its only $349. The keyboard comes with that device. Plus it will have new Bay Trail processor. Which is alto more powerful than tegra3 plus will have Intel integrated HD 4000 or better graphics. Which beats out tegra3 gpu by far. The battery life is the same on both devices. Great battery life. But the keyboard on Asus device beats out a touch or type cover. Let's not forget this is not an RT version. It will have full blown windows 8.1 and have the full home and student 2013 version of Office, one note, etc.. included. Preinstalled. Usb 3.0 also
I was so close to impulse purchasing this just now. Its a really good deal. But it can't compare to that new Asus book coming out. Its better all the way around except on design. As I feel Surface tablets have best design. Although that new Sony and Nokia tablet look very good. I think for my woman, the full blown windows 8 device would be better and the better value in long run.
I know she'd love this surface rt either way. But having full blown windows in a tablet form factor with keyboard including for only $349 can't be beat. From videos ice seen, the bay trail performs just fine with windows yet delivers superior battery life. Its no where near as powerful as my pro but more than good enough for her usage.
Now if they had a keyboard on that surface rt included at that price, I would've bite. But for tablet alone then factor in price or keyboard cover, you right at same price as new Asus T100. Except the Asus runs full windows 8.1
I can't lie though, im still thinking about it..lol where this particular rt shines is the storage space available. It comes with 64gb. That Asus $349 entry price is for 32gb SSD version. 64gb will likely be 400. Damn..lol decisions. I have chance to get one now at this cheap price and im indecisive. I know its gonna sell out fast again.
what do u think? b4 it sells oit amd immtoo late..lol
