The editors liked
The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is a faster
Longer-battery-life version of the original model
Upgraded with a current-gen Haswell processor. The keyboard cover is also improved with backlit keys

Optional Power cover to improve battery life
Solid magnesium body
Improved kickstand

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

But almost everything that wasn't wonderful about the Surface Pro is still present in the Surface Pro 2. Perhaps most telling-and troubling-are the systemic issues that a spec bump can't fix, There's a great laptop inside this device, and a great tablet i
