I thought this would be an issue with the rigid keyboard layout they have in the touchpad. But I haven’t had any problems yet. But I am really careful with my electronics. So my 10 year old laptop still runs, Never had to replace a computer because it just “broke”.

I bet that half of the people who bought a surface are Apple fangirls who just bought it so they could pick at the cover and make it look bad.

If these need to have a slight redesign can the TouchCover (not sure about the other), be shortened by a couple millimetres?

If you have the cover flipped to the back and try to take a picture you get the bottom half the picture blocked by the cover. It just needs to be a slight reduction in size. I figured it is just a design oversight but it’s the little things that make a difference…

No problem with mine, it’s really solid, even when I try to force that part.

Lousy Apple fanbois with their lousy antics, always cooking up some bad press.

Anyone know how or where to buy an open box Surface or a refurb yet? I know there has to have been some returns already. I can haz open box?

Been using the surface with the touchpad constantly for about a week and a half and no issues with mine yet. Fingers crossed…
