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

Thinner and lighter, sturdier kickstand, Well-crafted, premium design, Long battery life, Sharper display, great viewing angles, Full-sized USB port
Windows Store is growing, but still has holes, More expensive than tablets running full Windows
Microsoft has already proven it makes the best hardware of any Windows OEM, but the Surface would be more competitive if it ran full Windows and supported traditional desktop apps....
Abstract: Windows RT tablets in general are a rare bunch nowadays, so we’re humbled to know that two of the best ones bring back light to the budding platform. Unlike last year, Microsoft made sure to do itself good this time around by outfitting its Surface 2 t...
Abstract: The second generation Surface is a well-built, highly functional machine but it has yet to catch-on in the market to the same degree of the iPad. For Microsoft, the Surface is a must-win device as the company shifts from a software focused company, to a d...

Main camera has problems with the focus on macro shots, Micro HDMI is called HD video out port, Slightly high black value of the display, Still comparatively heavy
Microsoft offers a premium tablet with the Surface 2. The engineers from Redmond improved their product and optimized many weaknesses, while maintaining the positive aspects. The Surface 2 is finally equipped with a Full HD panel, but there is still a pro...
Abstract: The Surface 2 is everything the original Surface should have been. It's fast, versatile (it can finally sit on your lap!), and at $449, it's priced to compete with other big tablets.Perhaps most intriguing, it shows that Microsoft's initial bet on hybrid ...

It may be just as easy these days to think of an iPad or an Android Tablet as a combo work and play device. But Microsoft recognized that for many consumers it was important to show them those work possibilities right up front. The Touch and Type Covers...
Great hardware, Great performance, Innovative design and features, Super keyboard accessory, Valuable included software
Still somewhat limited app ecosystem, Pricey but not Apple pricey
The hardware is only part of the story, though, as the long-awaited Windows RT 8.1 update certainly hasn't hurt anything. If you weren't keen on the look and feel of Windows 8 before, the 8.1 update isn't going to sway you, but those already using the new...
Abstract: Oh boy people! We’re nearing that time of the year when companies go all out to get products into the face of hungry consumers, who are starving for some good ‘ol fashion tech goodness. If you’re looking to snag a deal on a fancy new tablet this upcom...
Is the Surface 2 better than the original Surface RT? Certainly: the screen is a huge improvement, the processor faster, and Windows RT 8.1 has lost a lot of its rough edges. The third-party software issue remains, albeit abated somewhat, and we still...

Two tablets. Two different approaches in most instances. If you're thinking about a first time purchase there is a lot to consider. Your needs and wants should guide your choice. In my opinion the iPad Air is the more mature and more advanced technology...
