Thank you for your comments. Today I read comments about the screen/glass cracking on its own…..and the only to get it replaced/fixed is ensuring that consumers include the ‘Microsoft Complete for Surface’ in their purchase, which limits us to 2 claims for a fee each over a 2 year period for events like cracked screens.

Nevertheless, I think I’m going to go ahead with the purchase. Again, thanks for your feedback.

Hi Kenneth,
The Wi-Fi reception on the Surface is perfect and I’ve never had any issue with Internet connection. I’m not sure about those overheating claims, my Surface only turns hot when I stream HD movies and warm for normal uses. However, the heat issue is acceptable as it happens with all laptops and you won’t feel anything when the Type Cover is folded back.
I encountered another issue with the Surface last week, I wrote about it in another post and it is not so serious. Other disadvantages are mentioned in the review.
When you set up the machine, you have the option to set it up as a new machine and disable OneDrive. You can check out the setup process in the video on top. So you can save your files anywhere as you wish.
Hope this helps.

I have been reluctant to buy one because of some concerns, including the overheating claims as well as the wifi connectivity issues claims. I understand from reading other sources that these have been rectified. Is it the same for you? Are there any other usage issues that I should be concerned about?

Also, I understand that all my save files will be automatically saved onto OneDrive by default, if I set up my account upon starting the machine for the first time. How do I get around this? For example, if I want to save them to an external HDD or the attached memory card?

Thanks for reading.
