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...

Sturdy build, tough twopoint kickstand, fine screen, terrific keyboard covers, fullsize USB 3.0 port, good battery life, 4G
Limited apps in Windows Store, expensive jump to 4G
Adding 4G connectivity gives extra mobile capability to the Surface 2, but considering the specs are more or less exactly the same, there's a pretty steep price to pay. A bargain it ain't, but it's a solidly built device with a good range of features an...
Solid build, Microsoft Office included, Great optional Touch Cover/Keyboard
Lack of apps, Windows RT still feels confused and muddled, No legacy app support, Limited developer support, No LTE, Very heavy for a device designed primarily as a tablet
One last nice thing I want to mention about the Surface 2 is the optional Touch Cover, which allows you to snap on a flat backlit keyboard/cover combo. Though the pressure sensitive keys take some getting used to, you quickly realize how much easi...
Display, Responsiveness, Office 2013 Suite, Battery life, Front camera, Topnotch design and finish, Stand, Type Cover 2 is great, and essential to get the most out of the Surface
Not enough apps at Windows Store (not even big ones like Facebook and YouTube), Too few games & mediocre gaming performance, Screen borders still too wide, Poor quality rear camera, Proprietary port for charging, It's lighter than the Surface RT... but st
With a stylish, well-built body, Full HD resolution and good battery life, the Surface 2 is a choice buy for anyone looking for a tablet that does (pretty much) everything. It does still lag behind some of the competing high-end iOS and Android tablets, h...
Decent picture quality, Comes with Microsoft Office pre-installed
Disappointing sound quality, App store is limited, Can be unwieldy
Full Windows 8.1 needs to be let loose on the Surface 2 to make it a real alternative to the attractiveness of iOS and Android tablets.Until then, this is something of a poor man's iPad.There's no doubt the Surface 2 is more geared to work-related use and...

The Surface 2 is a fabulous device and the more we used it the better it got.It looks pretty good, has a eye-pleasing screen and is super-fast. On it's downside we found the Windows 8.1 operating system slightly overcomplicated.The lack of apps are an iss...
Type Cover is outstanding, Good battery life, Very good colour, contrast and brightness, Slick, fast and responsive
Windows RT still confusing in places, Dreadful speakers, Too few quality tablet apps
The Surface 2 is good tablet if you must have the full Office experience on the go, but for anyone else there are better options out there.Next, cast your vote in the TrustedReviews Awards 2013...
At first glance, there's not much difference between the Surface 2 and its predecessor. Aside from the slight colour change (it's now got a silver finish), it's still pretty much the same as the rest of the Surface family: an attractive, minimal, solid tablet with a pop-out kickstand. It’s slimmer and lighter than the first model though, measuring up at a svelte 8.89mm thick, while the kickstand
The Surface 2 still isn't sure what it's supposed to be. It's a tablet/laptop hybrid that wants to be both, but only partially succeeds in either. While Office is bundled, it's not a touch-optimised version, meaning you'll have to use either the Touch or Type Covers to get work done - making it more laptop than tablet. But as it's also a Windows RT machine, you won't have access to all the legacy
Microsoft's cheaper Surface offering is still a puzzling device. It's better than the previous version in every way, but it still doesn't solve the laptop/tablet conundrum. It tries hard to be a tablet, but it also clings to its laptop heritage, yet it...

Sturdy build, tough twopoint kickstand, fine screen, terrific keyboard covers, fullsize USB 3.0 port, improved battery life
Limited apps in Windows Store
The Microsoft Surface 2 makes no attempt to replace your PC. It's very much a tablet, but one that uses native Windows software so it will integrate more easily with your PC. There's not much appeal for Apple users, but its build quality, speed and perf...
