I forget I own really weird old devices sometimes.

Recently got a Surface RT for around 50€ as my Christmas gift, it came with the type cover that's honestly quite good. Upgraded it from Windows RT 8.1 to Windows 10 ARM32 (a beta build mind you), and you can still do some stuff here, surprisingly.

Granted, it can be pretty slow at times, due to it being an 11 year old 2-in-1 hybrid at this point. Couple that with the limited app support for this architecture and OS combination, and you have a machine that doesn't really work for most people.

Still, you can do office work (it comes with a licensed copy of Office 2013), browse the web *relatively* alright with Legacy Edge and IE 11, use Discord with Unicord (it is quite slow though) and watch YouTube videos (requires an alternative website for that). Heck, I even did a small report for college with my teammate and it got the job done.

For the novelty and quirkiness, I'm quite happy with this purchase!

Just got a new toy to play with and do some experiments... I really want to see how bad the #WindowsRT experience was.

Windows RT 8.1, released on 17th October 2013, was an edition of Windows 8.1 designed for 32-bit ARM PCs. As RT was not upgradable to Windows 10 (2015), Microsoft released an update to add a Start menu to the OS. This makes RT the only edition of Windows 8/8.1 with a Start menu. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsRT #Windows8 #Windows 81
