Gandy

done this when I first got my surface, life is so easy now. onenote, onelove Surface is hands down the best work tablet on the market

Lol you did just then unless tapatalk is being gay

Mother fucker you thank Mitch when I made the thread WHALE

The pro 2 with haswell chip Microsoft is claiming 8 hrs battery life though, will be interesting to see of that's accurate

as well as having all my work resources available at a finger tip with synced one note, one note is hands down the best piece of software Microsoft has ever created

selling point for me was office suite and usb on surface as I said in the first post. I now have my work one note synced with my work outlook for task and stat tracking on a daily basis, and my surface one note is synced with my work one note which also integrates with outlook I don't think I would get a surface pro, to me a tablet should be a tablet, light, cheap, portable, piece of kit that cant die in the arse from malware/os being able to be edited etc

Metro file browser (for the local, network & skydrive) is built into skydrive app on 8.1 update. same with calculator/converter im so sick of fucking waiting for 8.1

just picked up a couple new useful apps Files & Folders - metro file explorer without having to go through desktop, find it a lot easier than going through the desktop mode it is $7.99 however, I feel its well worth it though Trackpad settings - free app from Microsoft that lets you change settings of the trackpad on the touch and touch type keyboard covers Metro toolbox - free 6 in 1 tool, mainly use it for the currency conversion (shows all the conversions at the same time for different measurements instead of having to select each one individually) and the calc, which has scientific and programmable

just finished re-organising all my work onenote workbooks into a neat organised workbook which is now syncd to my skydrive, which both my surface and work computer are sync'd with, so much fucking win

ive just added smart sticker HD as a to-do/joblist for the day as im finding my work inbox fills up with too much crap and missing flagged items/tasks, as well as my iphone not being the best at handing flagged/tasks on the native mail client. Seeing as I carry my surface with me everywhere this is a great little app to put everything in one place I need

also is that teamview touch or teamview desktop?

very interesting we have the same tile space for IE and Skydrive

i just got code writer how sic is it

Welcome

also worth noting is that 8.1 is around the corner, which will give us outlook for the mail client, and an official facebook app as well as several other improvements

I have been using my surfaceRT for a month or so now and have become quite comfortable with using it so thought I would make a thread for information, tips, and must have apps and accessories. Firstly a brief overview of why I chose to purchase a surface over other tablets on the market, mainly the ipad/android tablets. A big selling point for me with the surface was the fact that I am not a huge fan of android (note, im not saying android is a bad OS), and at the time the current gen iPad did not have a lot of work functionality, mainly lacking a professional office suite and some native window tools, I am also a lot more familiar with windows OS in a work environment, and I wanted a portable work solution. The web browser also uses the "full version" of websites not the "mobile" version, which is also a big plus. Straight out of the gate, the surfaceRT comes with ms office suite, which to me is worth the $400 price tag alone. Windows RT also functions the same as Windows 8 except for the fact you cant install .exe files, only apps from the windows store. I bought this tablet to use as a tablet, not as a laptop, so not being able to install .exe intentionally (or un-intentionally lolmalware) is a positive for me. The surface also has a micro SD slot for memory expansion, a micro usb connection and a usb port. When I first got my hands on windowsRT/8, the biggest frustration was getting used to the new metro page. A good way to get around this frustration is think of it as an expansion on the start menu, or a pretty looking desktop for all your shortcut icons you would normally have on your w7 box. Most of the time will be spent on the splash screen using your most common apps, and you even set it up to display all the admin tools on the splash screen as well. Once you spend a little bit of time organising the splash screen to how you want it, your love for windows 8 will exponentially increase, below is a screen shot of my current "start menu/desktop" With windowsRT/8, you can also get to the "backend" or desktop with the touch of a button, you will see that there is a big tile called desktop, and guess what, it takes you straight to the desktop lol. All windows shortcuts/keys you have been using for the past decade (except scottie, grats on turning 15 this year) work, and all functionality like alt tab, multi tasking, task manager, just like the full blown windows 8 The surface is very light weight and portable, very "crisp" display and comes with a very nice set of accessories, the windows store is also maturing every day, and apart from an official face book app, there is nothing I have not been able to find in the app store. Below I will list a small section of accessories and apps I have found very handy. Accessories: Microsoft Touch Type Keyboard "The" keyboard for the surface. Big thank you to Mitch for recommending this, give it about 10 minutes to get familiar with it and its just like typing on a desk keyboard, could not be happier with it and it also doubles up as a case, just like the ipad ones do. It also has a mouse pad included in the keyboard, much the same as a normal laptop has HDMI Cable There is also a HDMI adapter that I have used non stop, it is so much easier just to take your tablet and plug it in to the tv/display device than have to lug around a laptop/power supply if you want to watch some movies etc on the big screen. Apps: TuneIn (radio station app) Skype IRC Explorer (irc client, and imo shits all over mIRC) Remote Desktop 8 Password Locker (password storer) PepperPlate (all in one recipie/shopping list/meal guide/cook book) This is a little rushed and probably edit it some when I get home from work tonight but thought I would throw up a quickie on my break and tidy it up tonight as I have been meaning to do this for awhile, and im sure Mitch has some great stuff to add as well

Well done :>

iOS 7.0.2 has been released and addresses the bypass passcode lock vulnerability, grab it when as soon as you can
