Should i get the microsoft surface rt or 8 pro?
I want to buy a surface tablet. I just do not know which one. I will use it to write essays on Microsoft word and have all the m PowerPoint stuff. Idk if the rt can use that. If it can then that's the one I would get. I am a college student so it's for school. I want the 8 pro cuz I know it can use all the Microsoft stuff. But I don't know if the rt can use that. And is the pro faster on the internet. Is it by a lot? Thank you

The RT version of the Surface can absolutely run Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It comes with Office 2013 Home and Student (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, One Note) installed. It is the trial version, but MS will let you upgrade it to the full version for free if you buy before Dec 31.

What you really have to ask yourself is if you need to run any other legacy Windows apps. My suggestion for a college student is to go with the RT version. It is significantly cheaper and has better battery life than toe Pro version.

BTW... on the VAST majority of websites, Pro will not be any faster on the Internet. Both have full desktop versions of IE10.

Microsoft surface RT
it really is an amazing tablet
it has a 10.6" screen with very good and high resolution
colors look clear and sharp on it
the tablet build quality is amazing
it feels perfect and its made from solid materials
the os on the tablet which is windows 8 is also amazing
its fast and fluid and also simple and easy to use
its made with touch in mind
the web browser is extremely good its fast and pages load up quickly
and it supports flash which is a huge plus and which is something that is lacking on most android tablets and all ios tablets
battery life is very good and would easily get you through more than 10 hours of heavy use
you can download apps from the windows marketplace which has many high quality apps
thousands of apps are being added everyday
more than 2000 apps were added in less than 2 days
it does have more than 20000 apps now and like I said it will keep on increasing
it has dual cameras and both of them take amazing photos and videos
it has deep social network integration(skype,facebook,twitter,linkedin and so on)
you also get Microsoft office 2013 for free on it
and if you get the keyboard and attach it to it you'll have a laptop
overall the surface is an amazing tablet and you should get it
hope i helped Smile

and if you got any question or need any help you can email me at spieleranswers@outlook.com
