Tom Warren, The Verge:

Final pro­duc­tion units are arriv­ing with around 6-7GB of addi­tional space, bring­ing the total up to 30GB on the 64GB model.

Used to be you’d only get 24GB when you bought the 64GB Surface Pro; now you get up to 30GB. Yay.

Update 2013.01.07: Anand Lai Shimpi, AnandTech:

The higher res dis­play just makes every­thing sharper in the mod­ern UI, and the 150% DPI scal­ing in desk­top mode makes every­thing big enough where the higher res isn’t a prob­lem there. It’s only in those desk­top appli­ca­tions that don’t prop­erly imple­ment Windows DPI scal­ing where the higher res­o­lu­tion is a hin­drance. I actu­ally ran into this prob­lem using Chrome on the desk­top, where my taps wouldn’t always map to the right parts of the appli­ca­tion (not to men­tion that Chrome in DPI scaled Windows looks terrible).

A good expe­ri­ence this is not. There’s more. Peter Bright, Ars Technica:

This dif­fer­ent scal­ing fac­tor has the same reper­cus­sion for web­pages as the Metro scal­ing fac­tor, and also means that pages look slightly dif­fer­ent depend­ing on whether you’re look­ing at them in desk­top Internet Explorer or Metro Internet Explorer. It’s yet another way in which the Windows 8 expe­ri­ence feels disjointed.

You don’t see the same thing between the desk­top ver­sion of IE and the Metro version?

On the RT, this screen­shot is crisp and accu­rate. On the Pro it isn’t; it’s blurry. This is par­tic­u­larly acute for the green “https” text; in real life, it looks almost smudged. That’s unavoid­able when scal­ing by non-integers.

Smudged text, unavoid­able when scaled.
