Great design and feel, Magnetic Type Cover rocks, Kickstand works great and has two angles, Improved Start screen and Windows Store
Using the destktop is necessary, but not fun at all, Heavy for its class, Type Cover is expensive ($130), Windows Store app selection is still bad
The Surface 2 is a paradox. We love its hardware and the Start screen continues to improve, as does the Windows Store. If we never entered the classic desktop mode (old-style Windows), we'd enjoy this tablet a lot more. But, as Microsoft makes clear in ...

Gorgeous 1080p screen, Improved kickstand, excellent range of keyboards, Tegra 4 + Windows 8.1 = usable as an ad-hoc laptop
Restricted to Windows RT apps, Gets expensive with a Touch/Type Cover
VERDICT The Surface 2 is impressive. It's fast enough for most jobs. The screen's great, and so is the case that surrounds it. It's now a very usable ad hoc laptop, thanks to the two-step kickstand and the fixes in Windows 8.1. There are even enough apps ...

Great screen, Outlook now on board and works, microSD expansion, decent battery life, good prospect for business users, a step up compared to the original, Marketplace will continue to grow
Windows RT a confused experience, naming convention is odd, lacks app support of rivals, odd aspect ratio for a tablet, need to add a keyboard for best experience as virtual keys obscure view, no mobile connectivity
Surface 2 might be thinner, lighter and faster than before - but only just on all counts. And as much as those three words might read well on page, the latest Microsoft offering is, above all, a confusing prospect. Why? Because it's not full Window...

Abstract: We are live at Microsoft's Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 event, and we've just been able to briefly dabble with both Windows 8.1 tablets. You can find out our initial impressions elsewhere, but for now we're focusing on the consumer-centric of the two devic...

Thin but solid industrial build, Two kickstand positions are welcome additions, Microsoft Office included
1080p screen lags behind other tablets, Same rehashed design, No LTE option
There are no huge shocks or surprises with the Surface 2 4G: it's a Surface 2, only with a faster internet connection.That extra speed is certainly welcome - if you're in an area that can provide it - and could mean the difference between getting some wor...

Covers are sold separately and aren't cheap, Account creation required to get the most out of Windows 8, including application downloads, updates and use of most of their applications, If you're a multiple device user, you might find features in their app
Microsoft Office 2013 RT included, Full HD screen, Attractive, sturdy build, Dual-position kickstand, Optional Touch and Type Cover keyboards are brilliant
App range remains limited compared to iOS or Android, Internet Explorer the only web browser available, Not as stable on the lap as a real laptop
A top-quality productivity tool that – despite running RT as opposed to full-blown Windows 8 – could replace a full-blown laptop for many professionals and students...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Microsoft Surface 2 tablet with optional Touch Cover 2. This is a Windows RT 8.1 tablet with a 10.6″, 1920 x 1080 IPS display and an NVIDIA Tegra 4 T40 quad core 1.7GHz CPU. The tablet looks much like the first gen Surface RT but the...
