Does it not give you a browser option as other versions of windows does after first software update?

None of the other major browsers have been ported to Windows RT yet. I'm working on a port of Chromium, but it's difficult; the parts of the code that are ARM-specific were never meant to compile either on or for Windows.

UC BrowserHD is worth checking out.

can surface pro run BO2? any one tried playing any games on it?

"Can it run..." is obviously going to be yes. Playability is another question, though; Intel HD4000 graphics are low-end for gaming. You might get acceptable perf if you turn settings down enough. Seriously though, it's basically just a laptop with a Core i5 CPU and Intel integrated graphics, but in a really small form factor. It can run anything that a normal laptop of the same specs could run.

Also, yes, there has been some discussion of gaming on them already. Read before posting, please.

Finally, this thread is about Surface RT, not Surface Pro. Why did you post here? There are other threads for discussing the Pro.

Unfortunately though, it's not quite as powerful as a laptop i5. If I'm not mistaken it's an i5 3317U which is less powerful than a laptop i5.

Has anyone got any live football streams on their surface? I'm trying to get the myp2p.pe links working to watch premier league games, but cant seem to get them to work, even with the links added to the flash white list thing?

That's for sure I have a desktop running i5 processor, 2.8 GHZ quad core (up to 30 watts TDP) while most ultrabooks/ tablet will only be clocked at 1.7Ghz with dual core (17 watts TDP).

Hi Guys

I'm planning to buy a surface rt. I also tested it in the local store here in Germany and really liked it. But i have a few question at you, the surface rt owner before i buy one.

1.I often take photo's with an DSLR in Raw format and was wondering if the surface can display this format? I dont consider to do photo editing, this is something for my desktop PC at Home. But if I am on a trip it would be really helpfull to look at all the raw photos on a bigger screen instead of the display from the camera.

2.Is the playback from MKV files still a problem? is there a player in the m-store which can play them or even the standard video player?

3.And what exaclty is this touchDown app, which is shown in another Thread. Dont heard of it at all.

4.Are you happy with your surface and do you miss x86 programs?

Thank You for your replies

I don't use the surface RT in settings where I need x86 programs. This seems to be one of the keys to happiness - don't expect it to do things it can't do.
