    Don't forget the $30 gift card (for spending over $100) if you pay with a MasterCard at JB Hi-Fi: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/127701

      Is this really valid in combination with the Surface buy? Can anyone confirm?

  • Axelstrife on 25/12/2013 - 00:55

    I am seeing this everywhere

    but i can't see why this would be a good buy.
    can't even get firefox or google chrome on this thing.

      What other tablet has Office 2013 preinstalled for free?

      • Axelstrife on 25/12/2013 - 01:23

        True that is useful.
        i was just worried about it's lack of being able to change to a better browser like firefox or chrome.
        and lack of apps

        • Bargain4U on 25/12/2013 - 01:40

          Surface RT vs. iPad :D

          @Bargain4U Anyone who is serious about comparing the two would probably be wise not to rely on ads by either company. (I like how the Surface RT somehow grows in size from 0:17 onwards.) ;)

      This isn't a good buy - at this price it's a great buy! I was a Surface RT naysayer too, until I got one, but there's no going back to Android after a couple of weeks using one of these.

      The Surface RT has excellent build quality, Win RT 8.1 works brilliantly, Office (especially Excel) is a fantastic bonus and Microsoft's app store is chock-full of good quality stuff, with more arriving daily. I'm a hardcore Firefox fan from way back, but Internet Explorer 11 seems like an OK browser to me. I certainly don't miss Chrome - Google's incessant campaign to drag users of their software into the Google+ swamp is rapidly turning me off all of their products.

        Couldn't agree more. I've owned iOS and Android, dubiously bought a Surface and now I'm a total convert too! Surface is definitely understated.

      • Axelstrife on 25/12/2013 - 02:17

        Does watching youtube or streaming movies on the web browser on it lag?

        also memory i know it has mucri ad card slot but how much memory it left on the device?

        also does it accept hard drives?
        via the usb port?
        i havee a 2tb portable external hard drive.

        i currently have a galaxy tab 3 7"

          No. Approximately 16 GB available for user content. Up to 64GB SD cards. Yes. Yes. OK. That's nice.

          Might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9ncmUtIHpE

        • Axelstrife on 25/12/2013 - 02:22

          No offence mate

          but any ads from the company selling a device always biased. they showing everything good about there device not the bad.

          that is why i just asked this guy above a guy who can say first hand experiance.

        • Bargain4U on 25/12/2013 - 02:28

          No worries, just trying to help as I own one too. "@" are always good if didn't want anyone else to help.

          Hey I bought one the last time this deal came around and I just bought another one now for my sis. I can answer your questions.

          YouTube is fine on the browser but you may want to find an app in the store as you can't really block YouTube ads in IE10/11

          It comes with 16gb free but after uninstalling apps like bing news/ and stuff, and removing the recovery partition, you'll end up with about 20gb free

          You can use hard drives with the USB port, I use my surface RT to torrent and put all my files on my external hard drive :)

          Hope that helps

        • Axelstrife on 25/12/2013 - 02:49

          So theres an app for torrents?

          also whats the games like for the store on the tablet?
          i am not a huge tablet gamer or anything just like a few games when bored lol?

          i am really consideing this tablet.
          i love downloading torrents and streaming movies my android tablet cant stream via its web browser which sucks.

        • madnesskid on 25/12/2013 - 03:04

          Yup quite a few of them in the store both paid and free, I'm currently using the paid version of Torrex, works well for me.

          There's quite a few games, lots of big named ones like angry birds and cut the rope etc, lots of puzzle games as well, I don't really play much myself,

          I haven't streamed movies but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, There's a full desktop browser with Flash support so you should be ok.

        • Axelstrife on 25/12/2013 - 03:21

          awesome
          I think i might actuly get one. unless i find some other reason why not to.
          i can do evything my most used apps can do via a web browser and since it has the full brower on it should be fine.

          i can survive with 15-20gb space.
          can just gran an extra 32gb or cheap 64gb micro sd card.

          cheers for all of your help.

        • jeryw on 25/12/2013 - 07:36

          You can also transfer file to your desktop, if that's more convenient for you.

          I suggest you check out Sean Ong's Surface RT videos on YouTube - I think you'll be amazed by its actual capabilities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VYf5MWyTn8

          His multi-tasking AND multi-screening demos are a revelation!

        This isn't a good buy - at this price it's a great buy!

        Couldn't agree more.

        Any reason why neither of you are voting positive on this deal? ;)

          Call me biased but I think my deal for $163 pickup is better.

        • imket on 25/12/2013 - 02:55

          are you assuming that you use 2 100$ vouchers?
          i would consider that as $200 on the device with free 47$ voucher. voucher =/= cash to me

        • longislandicetea on 25/12/2013 - 03:54

          how is it $163 ?

        • peter on 25/12/2013 - 10:48

          Please elaborate, how can I get it for $163.00 ?

        • wtfnodeal on 25/12/2013 - 14:59

          Use jbhifi bonus $30 deal you get $172 and apply another 5% some sort of cash back = $163?

  • stevelo on 25/12/2013 - 02:31

    Got one few weeks ago, good quality everywhere you look at it. Apps is the only things this tablet lacking.

  • ProspectiveDarkness on 25/12/2013 - 03:01

    If you people keep posting such positive reviews, I'm going to have to buy one.
    Not really keen on the notion, since I already have my Tegra 3 Nexus 7 (feels like more of a side-step than an upgrade, if you get what I mean), but for $229? Ugh.

    Don't get the touch keyboard though its HORRRRRRIBLE. You HAVE TO get the type one.

    • iseenya on 25/12/2013 - 10:50

      Specifically, the Type Cover 2 with backlighting - mmmm

    Bought one too with Type Cover.
    This is something that I can use for serious stuff. It has USB that you can connect your external hardisk. Or if you travel with it, you can download your camera photos by inserting the camera memory card to it. What else? Oh yes, you can share your file with your desktop using file explorer. Try to do this in your iPad? No way.

  • seijai on 25/12/2013 - 09:18

    Funny how the 64 gb with touch cover is cheaper than 32 with cover, although no stock

  • jimbo jones on 25/12/2013 - 11:14

    Harvey Norman has them on sale as well. $223 - same price as JB Hifi Harvey Norman seems to deliver for $6.95 to major metro areas.
