Chunky, hefty build; Windows 8 quirks and lack of apps
Microsoft’s Surface tablet has plenty to offer if you’re after a portable device to keep you productive on the move. The keyboard cover works better than expected and saves you lugging a plastic dock around, while the screen is bright and reasonably crisp...
I think Microsoft has really achieved something good with the Surface RT. I hadn't been expecting to like it as much as I have.It is like Microsoft adopted the lessons of the past three years and instead of just matching requirements it exceeded them.Inst...
The Microsoft Surface is sturdily built, and the kickstand is a welcome flourish for pro-users. Ignore the haters: Microsoft’s touch keyboard cover is a masterful piece of work. It’s wafer thin but you can pick up a quick pace on it with a bit of practice on it. If you’ve got a regular train commute where you can nab a table, it’s a great way to plow through your emails in the morning. The physic
The Microsoft Surface looks gorgeous in press images. Up close, it’s another matter: for one, it’s not nearly as thin as it looks. Much more of an issue is the aspect ratio: with an 10.6-inch screen (that’s not nearly as sharp as a new iPad or the Google Nexus 10’s display) it’s extremely wide, and added to the bulk, this makes it all but impossible to use in portrait mode. That’s a real shame, a

Excellent keyboards, Useful kick, stand, Great for Windows 8, Stylish look and premium feel
Poor selection of apps, Standard display, Heavier than iPad 4, Sluggish graphical performance
Surface makes you want to pick it up and play, pleases you with the delivery of Windows RT and the live tiles make it feel personal and alive. Performance is a real issue, but since Tegra is at the heart of high performing tablets, we hope that RT can be...
Abstract: Aiming to put the tablet in a wider array of stores worldwide, Microsoft will also extend the lifespan of pop-up Christmas shops created to promote the tablet during the holiday rush. Some of these shops have proved so successful Microsoft are even consid...
Abstract: Smartphone and tablet users tend to fall into two categories: those who are diehard Apple fans and seemingly willing to pay any price for its fashionable hardware, and those who prefer the semi-open approach of Google's Android operating system and the le...
Sturdy build, tough kickstand, Windows apps, terrific keyboard covers, fullsize USB port, good battery life,
Not cheap, desktop takes some getting used to, not enough apps
If you're in love with your iPad, the Microsoft Surface is unlikely to win you over. But if you're still not sure about Android, or a Windows user who wants a tablet that will marry up seamlessly with your desktop and offer a quick, capable and, yes, f...

Abstract: A curiously unfocused tablet, but full of potential E ven as I sit down to write this review, I still have no idea what market the Surface is aimed at.Its advertising campaign suggests its a hip, indie-kid cool device that will change the way you use a t...
Abstract: This has been a big year for tablets, with both Google and Microsoft looking to take a slice of Apple's pie releasing their first ever own-brand devices. However, not resting on its laurels, Apple's come out swinging, releasing what we think is its bes...
