    Surface Pro 1 £399 with keyboard and MS Office - Worth It?

    So I just noticed on MS site they are selling Surface Pro 1 64gb for £399 with office and keyboard. What do you think, this over a surface pro 2 for £719?

    If you are after one they are a steal at that price, HDD space may be an issue though.

    I'm using both Pro 1 and Pro 2 at work daily (doing a big migration in Spain) and the only noticeable difference from office work is the extra kickstand position (which is nice) and an extra 1.5ish hours battery life.

    Hmm nice to hear! Battery life is not much worse then, not an issue for myself as i'm never carrying around for 3 hours straight!

    Sounds like performance is similar and not noticeable.

    May take the plunge, cheers.
