Fancy watching a video on your shiny new Surface tablet in flight? Blogger Matt Hnatojko notes that the Surface’s multitasking makes it easy to buffer video for subsequent viewing on a plane.

Hnatojko points out that this is particularly helpful at airports which offer free Wi-Fi:
Utilising the multitasking built into Windows 8, I was able to buffer a TED talk for later viewing on the plane, and doing this while browsing the web.
This isn’t a Surface-exclusive trick; I’ve done the same thing myself with videos on my laptop. If your flight doesn’t offer on-board entertainment and you haven’t got anything ripped on your machine, it can be a useful tactic.
