My staff uses them for a web-based application and prefers them over the ipads and android tablets we tried (the kickstand makes a great wedge to put your hand in if you use them while standing up or walking). Absolutely not a Window 7/8 pro replacement, but they're nice tablets. Yeah, basically things they're good for: Office Web browsing Media playing Things they're bad at: Everything else It can be surprising how little you need" everything else", though, especially if you already have a PC. For interview purposes it would probably work great, I used mine for recording exams and randomising questions and it did it really well. Having said that, I've now got an Asus Transformer and holy hell it's nice to install things again. And use Firefox.

Another month and the RT still languishes. They really need to kill the poor thing off for good soon. Intel is heavily subsidizing cheap Atom processors and pushing them to new Windows tablets that run real Windows and not RT. The Nexus 9 and new iPad Air 2 just make the Surface RTs look like a chunky joke. The 16:9 form factor in particular is just weird on a big tablet and has been abandoned by pretty much everyone else. Even Amazon's Fire HDX tablets look like a better purchase than a Surface RT these days.

Am I right in thinking that Microsoft will kill off RT with W10? From what I understand (which isn't much admittedly), Windows 10 might essentially be in 3 flavours: Desktop, Tablet and Phone. Of course, for all I know, Microsoft could still be dragging RT kicking and screaming into the new version so who knows.
