Surface Pro vs Surface RT

Today I've got both the Surface Pro vs. Surface RT so we're going to compare them! First let's talk about weight. Neither of these feel heavy to me. The Pro is certainly heavier at 2lbs, versus the 1.5lb Surface RT, but even holding them both together is lighter than the camera I carry and definitely lighter than my old 4.7lb Tablet PC. Plus I have the advantage of extremely muscular upper body strength.
The Pro has a much faster boot time and shutdown time which actually makes turning the tablet fully off not much different speed-wise compared to putting it into sleep mode. Resuming from sleep mode on the Pro takes a few seconds compared to the RT's instant resume. Since resuming from sleep takes so long, you might as well just shut down completely and preserve the battery life. The RT is much slower at boot up and shut down, but it has instant resume from sleep mode.
