I am visiting Microsoft Store in Bellevue Square mall. I am here to buy the new Surface Type Cover v2 for my Surface Pro. In the store two items caught my attention, one was the 3D Printer and the other was GAEMS Vanguard Personal Gaming Environment which was a mobile gaming station. The 3D Printer was a compact desktop unit called MakerBot Replicator 2 costing $2199!

GAEMS is like a briefcase, it has provided to snap your XBOX 360 gaming console, a 19” LCD display, speakers, placeholders for XBOX controllers, basically everything you need to play on the go. It costs $349.

Unfortunately, Microsoft Store didn’t have any stock of Surface Type Cover 2, I could just try out the demo piece, it’s not available online as well. Later I managed to buy one (seen below) from Best Buy, Bellevue. Type cover 2 has a backlit, full soft texture finish and this time I went with a violet colour instead of the black one I have currently.
