I was on my way to the Microsoft display when I found this tablet. it is much more comfortable to hold than the 4 yr old device it replaced. I was looking for a Windows Device and will probably have one at some point. I am still discovering new features of this product.

This unit is easy to install and have had no software / interface issues. The lack of improved range is my only complaint. Upgraded cable modem at the same time so other preformance issuse is not easy to assess. Streams HD video fine with several devices on.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not being a power user, this laptop is not used to its full potential. Can't speak to gaming, etc. We are happy with the purchase and especially the geek squad support. We have had in store and online help and it is the key element of my purchase decision.

What's great about it: Geek squad help, has that 'quality built feel", touch screen that is important for win 8 use!
What's not so great: as not being tech savy, there is a learning curve involved.

Launched in 2011, this design established the trend of paper-thin TV antennas. Universally compatible with all HDTVs, the Mohu Leaf 50 offers the benefits and powerful performance of our notorious design coupled with the Jolt Switch USB in-line amplifier to reach a 60-mile range. Control TV signal amplification in real time with a simple ON/OFF switch. When it’s "on", TV signals are increased for clearer picture and sound, sometimes receiving channels beyond your antenna’s standard range. When it’s "off", amplification is bypassed while TV signals are still filtered from FM and cellular interference. When plugged into your TV’s USB port, the amplifier only draws power when the TV is on, saving energy, or use the included USB power adapter with any standard wall outlet. Perfect for suburban areas, compact living spaces, single-TV homes, dorm rooms, RVs…take this efficient antenna just about anywhere you go. Easy to set up and easy on the eyes. Multi-directional UHF and Hi-VHF elements receive TV signals from both sides, so you can show either side of the black or white reversible design or paint the Leaf antenna for a customized look. Note: The range of this antenna will vary greatly depending on the height, power, and frequency of signals coming from the TV tower, as well as the height of the antenna installation, the terrain, and obstacles between your home and the broadcast towers. Find your TV towers and channels by using our free Antenna Point app on your android or iOS device.
 

planning on placing mine in garage. I also have hdmi will the cold effect this unit should I disconnect in winter months my man cave garage is not heated

I see no reason to disconnect. This has no moving parts. The tv may have temperature limitations but I have had a tv on a covered exterior deck in winter with no problem. If room is heated intermittent it might cause condensation that would be bad for the tv but I doubt it would affect the antenna.

Microsoft Type Cover for Surface Pro 3: Complement your Surface Pro 3 by adding protection and performance whether you're at home, at work or on the go. The ultrathin keyboard doubles as a screen-protecting case and sits at an incline on flat surfaces for a comfortable typing experience.
 

Can Windows Office software be added?

This is only an accessory for the Surface Pro 3 and, no, there is software. I wish MSFT would give at least a break on software with a hardware purchase. I have noted and posted about this because they give free or limited suite of software to other manufacturer users.
