The editors didn't like
The Surface Pro 2 remains stubbornly thick and heavy compared with some sleeker competitors. The base 64GB version may leave you starved for storage
And the keyboard cover
Practically required
Should be included instead of sold separately
Battery life not as good as we'd hoped
Lacks integrated full-sized HDMI and SD facilities
Wi-Fi could be better
Easily scratched
Heavy
Chunky
Expensive
Lack of LTE
35 second sleep/wake time where rivals are instanton

The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 gives you the performance of a laptop in the shape of a tablet. It remains an innovative design, with a clever way of attaching the keyboard cover. It's nice that the kickstand now has two positions, together with the heavier...
