Reason for editing: Installing Remix OS

Fresh tests for the duration of the work, watching the movie after the "brand" update increases from 6.5 to almost 8 hours. In reality, it will work? After all, you probably still have to install an antivirus with a firewall ...

doberman_dsl,really waiting for feedback.
I myself sit here and start drooling, until I understand the truth why he told me, but I already want it!

As for the tests - while there is not enough time to fully play with the device) I can say one thing about autonomy - with a brightness of 70% I had enough battery for 2 films in HD quality (their size is more than 7GB) and even after watching them, 20% of the charge went down. Before that, I had an Acer W700 tablet, in comparison with it, Surface is a clear favorite in autonomy. While it was in a balanced mode (not energy savings). Well, about the build quality, I generally keep quiet. It's like a BMW, when every little thing, every corner is functionality, everything is very thought out.
The speakers are very good, full stereo, the sound is pleasant, rattling - I do not know that) In Acer I had the sound of Dolby Home Theater - I will tell you in Surfeys not worse, definitely. The only thing that is not very well thought out is the location of the speakers. They are, as it were, "at the bottom of the trapezium". The body is trapezoid-shaped when viewed from the side. So it turns out when the tablet is on the table with a screen to the user - then the sound is scattered back, and not towards the user.
So far, only such impressions. Photo lay out later.

Regarding customs - no problem, because duty free import up to 1000 Euro

I completely agree with the build quality, everything is done and fitted perfectly, but it looks like they are painted in the basement with a brush, not in the sense of unevenness of paint, everything is in order, but in the sense of dyeing technology. A tablet without a year is a week, and on the back cover there are already a couple of chipped paint. And this is when you consider what I carry in my bag and I don’t drop it anywhere. After that, stuck the tape. Of course, "on the collective farm," but still. This does not affect the work, and I take it calmly, but it’s still unpleasant on a new device.

doberman_dsl,

How long did each movie last?

[doberman_dsl]

doberman_dsl,

How long did each movie last?

2 hours each. "Pacific Frontier" and "Storm of the White House"
The answer is exhaustive. potplayer x64 player

100 poods for painting have questions - I grabbed 2 scratches on the first day of operation - where? - I'll never know!

Probably the technology is the same as on the iphone 5, there the coating looks like anodized.

Antivirus in Windows 8 is built-in and well-suited, coupled with smartscreen, uac, and other chips built into Windows. The built-in firewall is also sufficient, although if you need to control application access to the Internet, then it is better to install a third-party, for example, Comodo.

I did not set and I will not. At least until it is clear what it is.

[amcenter]

Mikkael,
about antivirus with a firewall, this is to the fact that they also eat energy, so the tests are tests, but in reality we get a completely different device operating time.

It is a pity that microsoft did not rush to official sales in Russia, I would like a fully certified tablet. But they plan to sell 16 million ... Already ordered another tablet hp elitepad 900 on Windows 8, they promise 10 hours of work and protection from dust ...

promise 10 hours of work

If this is a tablet with a full-fledged Windows and a full-fledged processor - do not believe it.

He is on the atom :) How can it be compared with the surprise pro?

So I kept looking at myself for an atomic pill - unprecedented autonomy, compactness and low weight + 3G / LTE and a conservative cost, but the low performance of the atom made me depressed. As a result, I strangled my toad and bought Surface pro 2. So far, I have never regretted it. What will happen next we'll see ...

I used Lenovo on Atom from the pros only size ...
Bought in Finland Surfeys 2 happy as an elephant :)
The need for a laptop completely disappeared. I'm waiting for the docking station to go on sale.

So I say, the antivirus and firewall in Windows 8 are built-in and quite suitable for themselves, it’s unlikely that someone specifically disables them during the tests, that is, all the tests with the antivirus and the firewall. And if someone puts a third-party antivirus, then this is another question.
It is unlikely that the MS was crazy, so 16 million is the number of sales of tablets on Windows from all manufacturers, I think that ultrabooks with touchscreen are also included in this figure.

nmt,
I have Lenovo on Atom, one of the advantages is a full-fledged desktop with a weight of 500g, but of course each has his own.

[Mortare]

It is surprising that surface pro 2 is already in our online stores, and at a reasonable price (from 35k +). Compared to last year’s situation, it’s amazingly fast and cheap.

I thought, maybe change my Sony Vaio Duo 11 to it. Sonya is even a cake in terms of unlocking the potential of her hardware (almost the only ultrabook transformer that doesn’t have a processor and does not underestimate the frequency of gpu), but still ivy bridge, not Hasswell. And the weight is 1.3 kg ...

In general, if the Surface pro 2 with the cooling system is ok, it is worth thinking. Actually, the request to the owners: if there is an opportunity, run some kind of stress test (for example, in the intel extreme tuning utility) and see at what temperature mark the CPU throttling begins, if it starts at all. And the second point: check, please, via CPU-Z, in what mode does the RAM work - in dual-channel or single-channel?

[mkpy]

Mortare,
The memory works in dual channel mode.
The ability to replace the SSD is, but due to the complexity of disassembly, on Surface it is a very big problem.
