I have the opportunity to get a nine month old surface pro 2 128gb version with type cover for £435. Do you think that this is a good deal? There is some signs of wear on the back of the device but nothing major. I would only be using the device for browsing the internet, word processing, and very light gaming (playing games such as Binding of Isaac).

My rig: i5 2500k, MSI Z77A G45, Gainward GTX 980 Phantom, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, OCZ ZT series 750W PSU, 1TB HDD, 800D, fully water cooled. I am currently working on modding my HAF 912+ to fit a custom loop, here is the build log: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/165963-project-viridis-water-cooled-haf-912/

Seems a good deal the new ones are like £600-£800 online and the type covers are like £100

 

although you can get a brand new surface pro 1 for like £420 but the 2 is better

Ye i want to avoid the first gen as I have heard it is not as good. The only thing I am worried about is the amount of storage available as it only has 128GB; if it does become an issue I can add a 64GB SD card but it still won't have much.

128gb should be plenty, you should treat this thing more like a tablet, than a PC

 

You could always install games and programs to a usb 3 external hard drive
