32GB Microsoft Surface Tablet gives you just 16-20GB of free space

But you can use USB memory sticks or SD cards or external drives as well, so why worry so much about inbuilt memory?

Sure you can always manage the memory, but that's not the point.

The point is you get much less for the money you pay to MS.

Nexus 10 any1?

Agreed but at the same time u get flexibility of adding different types of memory, to me its looks like a small trade off and not a deal breaker.

you got a point...but you'll get a very premium, not plastic-made device!

nexus 10 and the iPad 4(but still pricey, but atleast retina! hope the heating problem of ipad 3 is resolve on ipad 4) is/are a good alternative..but people will buy winRT tablets coz of the semi win8 offering! and RT is made for practical people who want to experience win8 in an ARM chips, those who just want office, really perfect for students and your professionals!

windows Rt has so many pre-loaded apps such as the office RT... so the reason is simple, microsoft put many preloaded apps to winRT to make it efficient...

ms has put in everything anyone would actually need in any tablet, unlike in of the others, where you have a lot of options and apps to download, most not working, unsecure and full of bugs, and would probably crash in no time. C'mon MS, take my money!!!

It's anywherehome again guys don't bother. This guys crazy he likes to drop his devices from 100m high windows and expects them to survive. Even he himself can't survive a 100m drop. This idiot bought a galaxy nexus instead of a nexus 4. He has no idea about the awesomeness of the surface rt.

drop from 100m do you really like it? I usually take photos from 100m with a string.....you without a string? so do you like dropping your phone from 100m? are you really so clever? :)

No you said the glass back of the nexus 4 10 will break if you drop it from a window 100 meters above the ground. I mean anything will break if you throw it from 100 meters.

One way or the other you're crazy. I mean you actually thought Galaxy nexus was better than the nexus 4 and you sound like a guy who goes for vacations every 4 days.

You think galaxy nexus has a good camera? It's a 5 megapixel cheap camera which is one of the worst cameras on a smartphone. I think arguing with u is pointless nowherehome !
