Interesting product packaging, all you get inside the Surface box are the Tablet itself and a AC charger apart from the usual documentation.

Box Contents

  • Surface with Windows RT and Office Home & Student 2013 RT Preview
  • Power supply
  • QuickStart Guide
  • Safety and warranty documents

The version we have with us is the 32GB Surface RT tablet which retails for $499 in the US. The Cyan Touch Cover costs an additional $119.99

Before you get your hopes up about running all your old Windows apps on this tablet be warned that the Surface RT runs on stripped down version of Windows 8 known as Windows RT designed especially for ARM based devices. The good news for Office users is that this tablet comes with Office Home and Student 2013 which means that you have your Excel ,World, Powerpoint and  OneNote. No Outlook though and the built-in Mail client is just barely usable.

Instructions on how to get the Touch Cover clinged on to the Surface Tablet.

All set up and good to go ! Enjoy the complete photo gallery below.
