    Just been given a Surface RT

    It's in perfect nick with soft cover. Done all the updates and it looks like Win 10 now with the start menu.
    Very chuffed.

    Jamie has a surface 2 RT that she doesn't use all that much......

    I have a demo coming if this HP competitor to the surface pro 4 because I'm carrying around a big probook when I travel and this thing looks sweet.

    people always say that but we are almost exclusively HP and have ZERO problems. Maybe it's the difference between enterprise stuff and consumer stuff, but I don't buy all the HP hate.

    HP consumer stuff has a nasty habit of overheating and dying just out of warranty. I have to give more HP owners bad news than any other make.

    Chuffed, very happy, but now not so happy, it won't print to my cheapo xerox workcentre No ARM driver available and the generics don't work either.

    from the enterprise side, we are VERY happy. I still have enterpise desktops from back in 2007 with p4s and pentium D's that with some more RAM and Solid state drives run windows 7/10 like a boss. Both of the servers in our house are those same hp enterprise pcs running windows server with raid cards and drives. Stuff is SOLID. And the same is true for our HP servers. For as old as a lot of them are, the problems we have are few and far between and honestly given the age, not unexpected.

    If only we knew of somebody who knew how to work on such things. Where would one go to look for help with Windows Drivers? Wouldn't it be a great idea if...oh wait.

    I also like HP's equipment line. Are there bugs here and there? Sure. But I've found that if you give them good cooling and good, clean power, they (like most things) can run practically forever. Yes, the cooling fans go out; they gotta be replaced. Keep a supply of redundant power supplies on hand too as well as a good stock of hot-swappable disks; HP usually uses Seagate as the actual disk mech. Pretty reliable for the most part.
