Is the 500GB keyboard over kill? Will the 64GB be enough to run all the usual programs (internet, skype, email.. +a bunch of apps) and a bunch of pictures, have thousands so far and they're only at 4KB total space.

It's hard to say. I don't have a lot of software on my 64gb, and I have about 20gb left. Everything else is in the cloud. There are some better ways to manage the space, but I like mine. I use it for important stuff, but I am not a power user.

Yes! Full size keyboard and a lot to lug around all day. However it is a great laptop and very powerful. It does put out lots of heat so keep that in mind too.

I have 4 Gigs of Memory on mine ... I am running Window 7 Pro ... it is working very smoothly.

I would suggest you get a later version that would allow for more ram to be added. This machine is slow. Could be a headache for tasks that require heavy files or working with programs that require speed. I use this for documents and internet surfing.

It is almost certainly a rib off. When you get it it will only hold 64GB or could also be 512 MB.....

It should do ok with those programs but I haven't used them much on it. There is a good amount of ram and everything that I have run so far that has been fairly intensive has worked well. I would recommend this laptop to pretty much anyone. Great deal for a great product.

Robert, The only reason that I can run 8 GB is because of the Chromebook running on Linux. Windows restricts you to 4GB even if you are running 64 bit with the Home edition. I think you need the Professional edition to run more than 4 GB on 64 bit. Huge limitation that will hopefully drive more people to alternative operating systems.

Minimally I recommend just getting 64GB. If anything you'll have free space. Which is a huge advantage and it's awesome to be able to have extra space in a device. I have the iPhone 5S 16GB and it's terrible on space. I'm always under 100 MB getting warnings and it's annoying. On my 64GB iPad Air I have usually 10-20GB free which is awesome being able to have video, photo, document, app, music and other space for a variety of things! I'm in school so I'm always taking photos or video for myself and projects, then always typing papers, making presentations and so on, it just is really nice having plenty of space and not worrying about running out of space. So go for 64GB it's worth it! Minimally I recommend just getting 64GB. If anything you'll have free space. Which is a huge advantage and it's awesome to be able to have extra space in a device.

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon

You sure can... up to 64 GB I believe. For me, the 16GB that comes with it are way enough :)

Easily. Since email isn't stored on the computer, unless you specifically do it, it's not there anyway. I use the Surface as a web browsing device mostly and save little. I haven't made a dent in the storage. and besides, you get 200Gb on SkyDrive which is a huge amount, AND, unlike iPads, you can actually add a micro SDHD or SDHX chip for more storage. Memory isn't a problem for me. If you play intense games (I don't) the 64 might be worth considering.

According to Dell, This model max RAM is 8 GB. Since 4GB already installed (2x2GB), you have to replace them instead add more, there is no slots for it. And yet, you have to install a 64 bit OS to be able to use any memory beyond 4GB. 4 GB is more than enough for the toy. that is my 2 cents.

I would go with the 64gb version you can use the extra space and the price difference is not that great. The 32GB version does provide a backup of the system restore on a micro SD card not on the system. Even with this I would still purchase the 64GB version.

The total storage space may not be exactly 64gb, but there are no additional programs on the USB. Besides, a quick format will get rid of anything on there.

that is storage on the tablet. u can also add up to 64gig micro sd to the tablet itself, which is what i have done. The nice part about the keyboard, is a 3.0 usb port for a fast flash drive.. Very nice for quick backup

Uncertain as to what you ask by "full"?... as far as performance, I love this board. I'm running an AMD Quad Core A10-Series APU with Kingston ram. Windows?... not so much :P
