@wisted It was in the email. If you ordered one of the original ones (listed at 512GB) you got a $50 credit to your account (with a one-time-use discount code) when they canceled the first order. You could use that code on this one if you reordered it, which is what I did.
Discount code elicited a chuckle. Headed out of town for a week next Tuesday so I'm guessing it'll be cool to return and open. excitedly-barefoot-rifle
@iyu Right, you can only use it once and you've already used it. You can check your My Orders page for verification that the code has already been used.
@iyu That appears to be correct. You can get one with the discount, but additional ones would be the full price. $50 total off on up to one order, so even if you ordered two at $399 each it would only knock $50 off the total.
Still great for me. I got it for the 8GB RAM and because I already have all the accessories; none of my projects are kept on the local drive, so 256 is plenty.
Sorry you guys are losing money on this, but not so sorry I won't take the extra $50 off.
@yuyufei Just took a look in to your account and you have already used your code. The code is only valid for one purchase. You can check your My Orders page for verification that the code has already been used.
Thanks Meh, I would say that you guys handled the situation very well. The deal is even better for me now that it's $50 cheaper (I didn't need that much storage space).
As previously stated, handled perfectly with dignity and the $50 off makes it an even better deal for meh!! Thanks and I can't wait to get it;) meh is happy (this is my first post that's what your supposed to do right??)
Thanks everyone for helping us get through our mistake. To help automate some order requests, we are opening up this item to allow our usual 3 unit max quantity and purchase by any account. Those who originally purchased of course have the coupon code benefit on their accounts only. Feel free to increase order quantity or relay to a friend at the posted event price here.
@MEHcus I placed order on Tuesday and the order status is still in Processing,I can not found any shipping information in the order page.will you email us the shipping information or update that on the order page?
@wisted $50 coupon were given to folks who tried to purchase through the original meh listing, but had their orders cancelled due to a specification error. If you were one of these people, you should have received an email regarding the coupon.
The good news: Just got my tracking email from my Tuesday purchase. The bad news: Fedex thinks they can manage to get it here (a 20 mile trip) next Tuesday.
@Subbota To further expand on the wonders of SmartPost. My SP2 traveled 60 miles east of me (overshoot), then went to another location that's about 180 miles north of me and is now being handed off to USPS. Common sense says that the second movement was wasteful, but I guess it worked out better according to some mystery logistics.
Got my SP2 today. As was mentioned in a comment on the original listing, there is a recall on the charging cable section that plugs into the wall outlet. Mine came with the old style, so will be attempting to order a free replacement. More info here: Power Cord Recall Info
Mine also arrived today. Popped my SP1 out of the dock and off the battery cover, popped the SP2 onto both, ran updates, installing Windows 10 now.
For some reason I thought this came with the Touch Cover 2, but it actually came with the original Touch Cover. Not a big deal, and the listing showed the original. I was just dumb. :V
@actionjbone Lucky! I got the 4200U. But looks like my battery may have only lost around 5% of initial capacity so that's good. Powercfg giving some odd current numbers though, hopefully that sorts itself out
Got mine last night and brought it into work today to install Windows 10. Man I forgot how abysmal Windows 8 was. Took me 5 minutes last night to find a shut down button. That said, I love the Surface itself and once Windows 10 gets installed I will love it even more.
So I guess I missed my chance? Didn't check my email until now and it's all gone now. The laptop was for my dad and he doesn't even give a shit about hard drive space.
@andrewpatrick In the past I have seen the refurbished 4/128gb model on Ebay for as low as $300. Hopefully you'll come across another opportunity to pick one up.
I got mine today, but the screen was all jumpy, either FedEx gave it a lot of coffee or it has a problem in the touch screen. Anybody else had the same issues?
Got mine in. 4300U, 1.9GHz i5. Very fast. The original touch cover I got with mine sucks. Replaced with the power cover and it is much better. Got Win10 installed on it, and it is better than Win8.1 by far. Can confirm that it didn't come with a stylus, but got a Lenovo X61 stylus in and it works perfectly at a fraction of the price.
I received a dead on arrival product (won’t boot/not turn on) with no damage in its appearance and will discuss with Meh for its replacement.
One difficulity is how to send it to US and bring it back to Korea as long as I’m staying in Korea.

@sq3rjick how can I get this $50 off coupon? I want a surface pro 2 too.
@wisted It was in the email. If you ordered one of the original ones (listed at 512GB) you got a $50 credit to your account (with a one-time-use discount code) when they canceled the first order. You could use that code on this one if you reordered it, which is what I did.
Only problem I have is that I originally ordered 2 but now it is only letting me take the deal with 1. I still want 2.
@zjzilla Fixed the quantity limit, try again
Discount code elicited a chuckle. Headed out of town for a week next Tuesday so I'm guessing it'll be cool to return and open.
excitedly-barefoot-rifle
Same with me.I had ordered 2 originally..now it's letting me order only one..
@ashutoshadhav Fixed the quantity limit, try again
@MEHcus This coupon code is not valid
@iyu Just checked your account and see that you were able to place the order and use the code. Let me know if you still have questions.
@MEHcus The coupon code still can not be used
@iyu Right, you can only use it once and you've already used it. You can check your My Orders page for verification that the code has already been used.
@MEHcus that is mean i can't buy another one with $349?
@iyu Correct. As was stated in the email you received, the coupon code was for a single use only.
@iyu That appears to be correct. You can get one with the discount, but additional ones would be the full price. $50 total off on up to one order, so even if you ordered two at $399 each it would only knock $50 off the total.
This pleases meh greatly.
Yup, still want it... re-ordered it and am keeping my fingers crossed.
Still great for me. I got it for the 8GB RAM and because I already have all the accessories; none of my projects are kept on the local drive, so 256 is plenty.
Sorry you guys are losing money on this, but not so sorry I won't take the extra $50 off.
@MEHcus Woo! Checked tracking and learned it'll unexpectedly arrive tomorrow, two days early. For once, SmartPost isn't horribly disappointing!
Yesterday I had ordered 3 ..now it's letting me order only one.How can I face my classmates~~~
@yuyufei Try again, you should be able to order up to 3
@MEHcus This coupon code is not valid
@yuyufei Just took a look in to your account and you have already used your code. The code is only valid for one purchase. You can check your My Orders page for verification that the code has already been used.
It happens, sucks that it happened on such a great deal that got so much visibility, but still understandable and you guys are handling it gracefully.
Well handled. You could have made me jump through a bunch of hoops, but instead, you treated me like a valuable (soon-to-be-repeat) customer.
I noticed in addition to the $50 credit, I'm also only charged $2 shipping this go 'round. Thanks so MEHch.
Thanks Meh, I would say that you guys handled the situation very well. The deal is even better for me now that it's $50 cheaper (I didn't need that much storage space).
Hey still better than my old laptop, thanks for being straightforward and awesome!
why my order was disappear？now i can't see anyone in "my order"?
@iyu meh and mediocre have separate order pages. Check the Mediocre My Orders page.
As previously stated, handled perfectly with dignity and the $50 off makes it an even better deal for meh!! Thanks and I can't wait to get it;) meh is happy (this is my first post that's what your supposed to do right??)
@crgerwig Indeed it is! Now go make a 2nd one!
I accidentally sent an email before I saw the email. Now I feel bad. I reordered with the coupon. I am excited.
Reordered and got to pick the red type cover this time

When will you start shipping?
@safety6 Shipping out a new batch every morning. So if you ordered yesterday, we should ship today for example.
@MEHcus My order was placed on Tuesday, and I have yet to get any kind of shipping confirmation. Should I be expecting that today?
@MEHcus I placed order on Tuesday and the order status is still in Processing,I can not found any shipping information in the order page.will you email us the shipping information or update that on the order page?
@jetedrow @moupeili Yes we have started the shipping process. We'll shoot you an email as soon as the package shows movement with FedEx.
@MEHcus great
Can I still get one too? I've been reading about this $50 off coupon but I don't know where to get it. Help me please?
@wisted $50 coupon were given to folks who tried to purchase through the original meh listing, but had their orders cancelled due to a specification error. If you were one of these people, you should have received an email regarding the coupon.
Decided to go ahead and reorder. Perfectly named order.
Hooray! Order shipped out today. Very excited to receive it!
The good news: Just got my tracking email from my Tuesday purchase. The bad news: Fedex thinks they can manage to get it here (a 20 mile trip) next Tuesday.
@Subbota That's FedEx Smartpost for you. I understand the system will even try to contract amish carriages for transport if possible.
@Neo42 Now I'm excited to watch the daily tracking updates and follow the adventure! I hope it gets on a pirate ship at some point in the journey.
@Subbota To further expand on the wonders of SmartPost. My SP2 traveled 60 miles east of me (overshoot), then went to another location that's about 180 miles north of me and is now being handed off to USPS.

@Neo42 Mine has a serial number that Microsoft says is "Enterprise," so that form won't work. They say to visit this page and call directly: https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/warranty-service-and-recovery/powercordcontact
Probably a mix of device sources, so probably don't all have this issue,
Also, mine's like new - probably just sat on some executive's desk before getting replaced.
Edit to add: Looks like mine came with the new cord, not the old one. So I guess I don't even need to call.
@Neo42 Thanks for the heads up, I placed my recall order just now.
@Neo42
Many stars to you, I just ordered mine, too.
Mine also arrived today. Popped my SP1 out of the dock and off the battery cover, popped the SP2 onto both, ran updates, installing Windows 10 now.
For some reason I thought this came with the Touch Cover 2, but it actually came with the original Touch Cover. Not a big deal, and the listing showed the original. I was just dumb. :V
@actionjbone Also, I can confirm mine is a 4300U.
@actionjbone wow 4300u quite good, the original Touch Cover no big deal, anyway it will be replace by the type cover lol
@watabataw Yeah, I'm using the power cover I had from my SP1. So no big deal for me.
@actionjbone Lucky! I got the 4200U. But looks like my battery may have only lost around 5% of initial capacity so that's good. Powercfg giving some odd current numbers though, hopefully that sorts itself out
@Neo42 yeah, sometimes you need the battery to drain/fill in order to recalibrate it.
Got mine last night and brought it into work today to install Windows 10. Man I forgot how abysmal Windows 8 was. Took me 5 minutes last night to find a shut down button. That said, I love the Surface itself and once Windows 10 gets installed I will love it even more.

@erik1000 weird. Have you tried contacting the warranty provider?
http://servicereg123.com
@Thumperchick I was planning to do that, but I installed a bunch of updates and now it seems to be working fine. Reeeaally weird.
@Thumperchick Nope, it doesn't work. It stops responding after a few minutes. I've sent an email to helpdesk@servicereg123.com, hopefully they can help me.

@sq3rjick I’m jealous of all the folks that got the 4300U. Picking up a T5000 stylus for mine, have read good things.
I received a dead on arrival product (won’t boot/not turn on) with no damage in its appearance and will discuss with Meh for its replacement.
One difficulity is how to send it to US and bring it back to Korea as long as I’m staying in Korea.
@king_yeo contact support about your issue at meh.com/support
Can It be delivered to Brazil??

how do I turn it on?
@user2727 A pole dance should do it. Yep, definitely a pole dance.
@Andrew_B I would think a lap dance, but what do I know?
