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
All-day battery lasts more than 14 hours
Comes with Office RT 2013 (now with Outlook)
Best of Skype package

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: The tablet market doesn't look very different than it did a year ago from the perspective of who's doing well and who's not. Perhaps the most exciting developments came towards the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 from the usual big guys: Google released...
I really like the Surface 2. It still has an excellent design and the Kickstand+keyboard improvements only reinforce my impression that the Surface 2 is a monster in terms of productivity. The high-resolution screen makes Excel that much better, and Offic...

Abstract: When I began this three part review of the Microsoft Surface 2 I said that Microsoft had taken some important and positive steps with this second generation of its Surface RT Initiative. I still feel that way. I also still feel that Microsoft has a lot of...

It remains an excellently built device, Decent performance, Nice screen, Comes with Office, now including Outlook, The kickstand is legitimately useful
We have to wait until next year to get a version with integrated LTE
Sharp display, Speedy performance, Long lasting battery life
No autofocus with camera
Let’s cut to the chase here folks! The Microsoft Surface 2 starts out at $450 for the base 32GB Wi-Fi version, which no doubt is pretty darn competitive . At that price point, we find it to be a more valuable offering compared to last year’s model, eve...
With the Surface 2, Microsoft clearly has a defined user in mind: someone that wants a device that rests in that fabled Goldilocks Zone between tablet and laptop. Unfortunately, the overall experience itself is less defined, and therefore the Surface 2 do...

Improved kickstand, Gorgeous display, Powerful processor, Long battery life, Excellent front camera
Limited app selection, Still relatively heavy, Underwhelming rear camera, Pricey compared with full Windows 8.1 hybrids
Microsoft's Surface 2 offers a beautiful display, more powerful processor and longer battery life, but the app selection is still lacking....

As mentioned earlier I've been using the Surface 2 for just under a week. I do find the hardware and the software, and more importantly the integration of the two, considerably improved and now find myself able to recommend this device to certain categori...
Abstract: Outside the color has changed to silver and the tablet has gotten a little lighter at 1.4 lbs., though the just announced 1 lb. iPad Air makes it seem heavy (imagine, the iPad used to be the heavyweight tablet among 10" products). It's slim at 0.35" and t...
