Very good product and value

MS Office 365 for one computer plus one device for one year is a good value. I paid $69 for one year that gives you all updates automatically plus 20 GB of OneDrive storage for a year. Having the full Office Suite and 20 GB of OneDrive storage for $69 is a great value to me. I'm using OneDrive between my desktop Windows 8 computer, my Asus T100 "tablet" and my WP8 Nokia Lumia 920 phone. The phone, of course, has MS Office on it to begin with (phone version) so I put Office on my desktop and T100 tablet. It all works great, and I feel I'm getting my $69 worth for a year. Of course you can go $99 for the same thing each year only for up to 5 devices.

The USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter gives you the ability to add a Gigabit Ethernet port to your laptop or MacBook though a single USB 3.0 Type-A port, supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3/az/u/ab/x standards. This ethernet adapter provides full gigabit bandwidth and offers backward compatibility with USB 2.0. It also supports features such as IPv4/IPv6/TCP/UDP packet Checksum Offload Engine (COE) and TCP Large Send Offload to reduce the load on your CPU. Jumbo Frames, full-duplex operation, VLAN tagging and 2 VLAN ID filtering are also supported, making this an ideal replacement LAN adapter or laptop accessory in areas without Wi-Fi or if you just want to increase your Internet speed.

I bought the USB 3 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter to have in case I needed a hard internet connection...Wi-Fi is not always available. It's compact so taking it with you is simple and requires no space that you would notice. I've used it once and it worked very well. I keep it in my travel case for my Asus T100.

You can't find a more useful device for the money

I have the 64 GB T100 and it is so useful for personal, business or student use. It's very portable and having the option of using it just as a tablet or connecting it to the "dock" so that it acts just like a laptop is great. It handles regular office chores with aplomb as well as reading, video viewing etc. In terms of normal use I've not had it bog down or "misfire" in any way. I've heard of guys running VM's on it and doing other pretty intensive stuff. I can't verify that sort of use, but the way mine runs I'd be inclined to believe it. If you want a relatively inexpensive device that can handle anything the majority of people would use it for, the T100 is definitely worth looking at!

What's great about it: FAST processor, USB 3, very portable, full Windows 8.1, great battery life!
What's not so great: Sound is OK but I would like more volume available. An LTE option would be nice.

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Tablet: The new Surface Pro 3 is in a category of its own. With a stunning 12" display in a sleek magnesium frame, Surface Pro 3 has all the power and performance of a laptop in an incredibly lightweight, versatile form. It may just be the ultimate device.

What accessories do I need to purchase with a surface pro 3 and do I need to buy a different adapter than the one that comes with the surface pro 3?
I don't recall an adapter coming with my SP3 so I'm not sure what you're referring to. It came with the power adapter to recharge it, if that's what you mean.
As far as adapters in general, you may need one of the variety of adapters available to use with the SP3's mini Display Port to go out to an external monitor. Depending on the type of monitor connection (VGA, DVI, HDMI etc.) you can get the one you need from places like Best Buy or online.
As far as accessories, I would highly recommend the Type Cover. It completes the SP3 and is a very good keyboard while offering protection to the screen. If you want to backup your data locally you might want to consider a USB 3 external drive. If you have a number of peripherals you use you might want to consider a USB 3 hub or, even better, a MS Dock for the SP3. Best Buy handles a Platinum padded sleeve made specifically for the SP3 that I would recommend. It looks very nice and has an additional zippered pocket to place your charging cable, USB sticks etc.

Will my Verizon.net email work on this?
Saw a question referring to Verizon, didn't get meaning. found that an HP PC/tablet didn't allow my verizon account, think it was a Microsoft reason, Outlook came with that one.
I don't have a Verizon email address, so I can't talk from experience. However, I can't see why one wouldn't work on an SP3. It is, at its heart, a PC. I have MS email accounts, Apple accounts, Gmail accounts, Yahoo accounts and they all work without issue on my SP3. I don't think Windows 8.1 will have any issue with any email account I've heard of.

To download software and app's what kind of cord do I need for a surface pro 3?
To download software all you need is your SP3 and an active internet connection. If you have CD/DVD's and want to load software from those to your SP3 you will need to rip them on another machine and place the software on an external drive or USB stick to use with your SP3. Or, as in my case, I just bought a USB DVD drive for the times when I need to use a CD/DVD with my SP3.

Handwriting recognition for notes?
How will this capacitive screen work for handwritten notes within OneNote?
There are some that do this, but the results aren't nearly as good as, say, handwriting on a Surface Pro. All you can do is get a stylus that works best and try it out to see if it works well enough for you...just don't get your expectations too high!

Future upgrade of Windows and Office
When future versions of Windows and Office come out, will I be able to upgrade or will this only run Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 for the life of the tablet?
Like any product on your tablet, as long as upgrades are available you will be able to upgrade them. The only exception would be limitations imposed by your hardware (too old to run the new software) or when the software goes to a new version requiring you to pay for it--even then you can upgrade if you want to pay what the manufacturer requires.

Availability?
When will the Asus - Transformer T100 - 64GB be available for purchase?
I bought mine a month ago so it's been available through retail outlets before that in the U.S.

Keyboard - yes or no?
The question was asked about the keyboard coming with the Transformer T100 - 64GB. Of the 3 answers, 2 said yes and 1 said no. Which is correct? The ad never mentions a keyboard and the pictures all show a keyboard.
The T100 comes with the tablet and the dock (keyboard) in the box. They together form the complete unit and that's the way it's sold.
