Thanks again to Slickdeals, I ended a 2-year affair with my Android-enabled Nook Color and welcomed the new Microsoft Surface RT into my life. The $200 refurbished deal which included the touch cover was too good to pass up, especially since I was able to unload the old Nook on Craigslist for a good price also. My first week with the tablet has been a positive experience, with native support for Skydrive and Office 2013, which will also include Outlook with the new 8.1 upgrade due later this year. The app store is somewhat meager, but does include some good ones like Netflix, Zinio, Skype, and recently, Plex. This program provides a beautiful media front end with a 10-foot user interface along with a back end media server on my PC, which will likely replace PlayOn and PS3 Media Server. My only gripe with Windows RT is with the absence of Google integration (for obvious reasons) such as Chrome, Maps, and Drive. Fortunately, my weekend call has been quiet, and gave me a chance to play around with the new toy, and even kick back with my co-fellows for Friday night dinner. I’ll give it a few weeks to see how well it works, then decide to either keep it or flip it for a profit.
