“Is this tablet good for college students? Im looking to get a tablet for college to take to class and take notes but also to do work on bus rides to basketball games. I was debating between this and the iPad, but i know i need Microsoft Word. Also how easy is it to download music to this tablet?”

Downloading music should be easy enough. I went ahead and got the XBox Music Pass and it is excellent. I'm moving into my Junior year of college and decided to buy this for school. My old laptop was thick and filled up my small bag quickly. This new tablet leaves lots of space for textbooks. The device is real sturdy and durable so I'm not afraid of throwing it in with all my heavy books in the slightest. As you pointed out it does have Word and such. That was a deciding factor for me. Although other tablets have word processors, they're not Word. I see time and time again students using non-standard software and running into huge issues which either embarrass them in class or cause their assignments to be turned in late. If you get it though, make sure you get the keyboard as well! It adds so much functionality you'll forget you're on a tablet. Seriously. The tablet's a steal at $350. Go for it, and best of luck at school.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey there. In addition to what was already posted, I just wanted to share a few more details on Surface and what is included in the Office Home and Student 2013 RT preview, which ships with Surface RT. Included is Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, all of which are great programs for school. Upon set up the preview can be updated to the full version for free via "Windows Update". Surface RT works exclusively with apps available in the Windows Store, so I recommend checking out the great selection currently offered, to get more of an idea of all of the things you can do with Surface. I hope this is helpful. Kindest Regards
