Redesigned kickstand with two angles
Upgraded internals
Thin but solid build
Two kickstand positions
Great performance
Microsoft Office included
The Microsoft Surface 2 has a sturdy build
Smooth gaming performance
And high-quality cameras. Windows RT 8.1 is easier to use than before

And
Improves upon a great design with high-res display and improved kickstand
Faster performance thanks to Nvidia Tegra 4 processor

Comes with Office RT 2013 (now with Outlook)
Best of Skype package
And 200GB SkyD
Beautiful screen
Well designed machine
Kickstand has two settings
Battery is decent
The editors didn't like
Limited Windows RT app ecosystem
No 4G model available
1080p screen lags behind other tablets
App selection limited
So lack of desktop apps still a problem
No LTE option
App support still lags behind competitors
And Windows RT is still incompatible with legacy programs. It's too easy to mistakenly push the tablet into its lower stance
And the touch pad on the Type Cover 2 isn't as comfortable as it was on the previous v
Type Cover and Surface Pen sold separately
Intel Atom processor can't compete with Intel Core CPUs
Power connector is loose and bulky
Built-in kickstand has limited adjustability
Runs Windows RT
Which means it doesn't run regular Windows apps despite it looking like a Windows tablet
Still not many apps available on the Windows Store

Abstract: I think the highest compliment you can pay a vendor is not one about the quality of its products, not one about its staff or its stores. It's telling them that they listen, and thanking them for doing so. Today's thanks goes out to Microsoft, for listenin...

Overall I really like the Surface 2 LTE. It builds off what was already one of my favorite pieces of technology and makes it that much more useful when out and about. With LTE onboard it really opens up possibilities; I'm more likely to toss the Surface 2...
