The Type Cover is better than the Linx keyboard, but again at three times the price it should be. The linx hasn't got the kickstand, the cameras on the Surface are far better and the processor power is significantly better.
But whether those specs are worth £420 compared to £140, literally three times the price, comes down to how you're going to use it. You could use the Surface as your main and only PC, especially if at home you plug in a wireless keyboard and mouse and a second monitor to make it a dual monitor display. For tablet use while on the move, browsing the net, sending some emails and watching some videos the Linx is excellent value.
And both will get the Windows 10 free upgrade. The Edge browser, where you can make notes and drawings on web pages, looks really useful, plus Cortana....”

I picked up the Kit leather case and Bluetooth keyboard for £18 its fits the Linx perfectly and works a treat , how much is the Surface keyboard and case ? It also plugs into my HD tv at full 1080p and I can use a wireless mouse/keyboard and use it as a desktop but yes it all depends on what you are going to use it for , I only bought mine as a toy not to replace my other PCs even though it almost could but I am very impressed with the performance of it





I can copy & paste/ create folders. The picture is amazing / the sound is so good!, it looks much sleeker than my old iPad.
