Probably what it was.

I've had a great experience with this surface so far. Better than I have had with our iPad 2 at home. I had a iPhone for a while but the battery was awful, it cut out at 5%, then 15% and eventually 90%. I chucked it. My wife kept her beloved iPhone and didn't want to switch to a Droid but it was annoying she always needed my phone to take good pictures. And my samsung screen was massive compared to hers. She begrudgingly switched to a Samsung 5, pouted for a week, now doesn't ever want to go back.
And I don't feel like I'm dealing with that whole, oh we are not going to continue to support that product you purchased new two years ago. If you need to use any of the new apps please buy a new one for 700, or a memory limited one with a bad camera for 400.
