The WinRT device is quite limiting, and its only when you hit those limitations that you will feel the regret. If you want full flexibility, then you would be better off with the Pro device. Reminds me of a quote: It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

I expect to get a light-weight device that I can remote into my workstations. I anticipate replacing my single laptop with two desktop machines - one for work and one for home - and the Surface then becomes my traveling device and something that I can place beside the bed to watch TV at night or use on the couch to check emails, update facebook, etc. I'll also use the Surface as a note taking device at seminars/conferences.

Hi Folks, I'm thinking about getting myself either a Surface RT or a Surface Pro (or maybe some other alternative). Every time I think about it I convince myself that one is better than the other but then the next time I flip. What are everyone's thoughts? Should I get a Surface RT or a Surface Pro? Should I get a surface at all? How much memory should I get? I thank you for your well thought out ideas in advance. Cheers. James.
