Will you be tempted ?
Microsoft has slashed the price of the Microsoft Surface by almost a third. A whopping £120 has been sliced off the Windows 8 tablet, making it more than a hundred quid cheaper than the latest iPad.
The discount drops the price of the 32GB model to £280, down from £400. Meanwhile the 64GB version now costs £360.
Among the places you can pick up a discounted Surface is John Lewis, which offers six months free broadband with a tablet, Kindle, or other gadget.

Even a 'Microsoft' netbook is better.
Bizarrely, the 11.6" Vivobook is quite close to that price.
Does full Windows and is like an ultrabook netbook with touch.
If had an iPad 3 for some time and recently acquired a surface rt and have to say I rarely go back to the iPad. For web browsing, movie watching etc the rt is great. For office stuff it blitzes the iPad. IPad wins on some apps which aren't yet released in the win8 app store (sky go being main one for me!)
I am sure it runs none of your existing Windows software.
And I thought the VLC team felt it would not be accepted anyway.
Maybe a similar scenario to the Apple app store.
Not remotely. Its the RT version.
