[QUOTE="Radiating Gnome, post: 7650380, member: 150"] That's true, and a point well made. I must have missed that wrinkle -- I thought I saw an article about upgrading from RT to Pro in my research, but I'm not finding it now, and searching for that now sure paints a picture that makes that sound unlikely. The down side of looking at the Surface pro would be that the price of the pro ($949 on amazon) puts it WELL above the price range of the other tablets I was considering. And that's for the 64g version, which really has 30g of usable space after the OS (34g for the OS? Really? I linked the source of that in the main article -- it's a remarkably big bite for a mobile OS). Anyway, the price comparison is very hard to do -- if you go totally high end with the iPad you can get up to $949, with the 4g card, 128 gigs memory, etc. Of course, anyone buying it with the 4g card is going to get a rebate from AT&T or Verizon with their data plan..... anyway, I digress.... The point being that I picked the RT because it matched up on price -- and the post I was responding to was claiming that apple is overpriced -- so I wanted to do a comparison that lined up on price for the sake of as close to an apples-to-apples comparison as I could do.
