Upgraded to a Surface 2 RT

I loved my Surface RT. It was great. Due to @shanselman and having already seen one, I upgraded to a Surface 2 RT at Best Buy. Love the extra screen resolution.

 

I had bought my original Surface at the local Microsoft store right after they came out. Good place but almost in Oklahoma. We live a good 30 minutes away. They have always given me good service though.

I went to the Best Buy this time which is only an exit away. Did have a bit of mixup and glad the Geek Squad discovered it. The sales guy got me an old Surface, not the new.

I already had a Type Cover – don’t like the Touch Covers and Best Buy wouldn’t take it as trade in. I did check and it does work fine. I also have several other keyboards that would work fine also. I also have two additional power bricks.


I had the Geek store put a Zagg screen protector on the Surface 2 as I always regretted not getting one on the original surface, however, right now it has a ton of bubbles, I’ll let you know how it works out. I also haven’t been happy with Zagg in the past but Best Buy swore they would be good. I have the one year service agreement too, for damage and will move my theft coverage in the morning.

My original sleeve works – it’s great and I keep my hotspot in it for when I go to the gym and out and about.

I also got the Bluetooth adapter for the type cover, and it is quite awesome.

I only got $100 for the old Surface, but it was worth it. Didn’t have to look for a buyer. I think I could of sold it to a student but don’t like doing that.
