S come before it. It's nearly the perfect size
And the form is almost beyond reproach. If you want a tablet

We're not there yet. Surface is a fantastic promise
And holds fantastic potential. But while potential is worth your attention
It's not worth your paycheck. Surface RT gets so many things right
And pulls so many good things together into one package. B
Abstract: This, a long-awaited Microsoft coffee-table PC that costs £8,500, is a rare stroke of flashy play by the boys from Redmond, WA. What the Surface will do for your interior, I'm not wholly sure. It will certainly be a talking point. It is mainly designed fo...
Solid build, Built-in kick-stand, USB socket and SD card slot, Decent headphone sound
Poor selection of apps, Not the most intuitive experience, Can be slow to respond
There aren't many other tablets if any that offer the same breadth of functionality and features. And, if you're in the market for a tablet for both work and play, then the Surface undoubtedly has its merits. But it isn't perfect, and those that want th...
Rather weighty and chunky; odd Windows quirks; small choice of apps.
The Microsoft Surface tablet is an attractive option for anyone who wants to stay productive on the move. We were surprised how well the keyboard cover worked, and the display is reasonably sharp and right. The only slight letdown is the Windows 8 operati...

The Microsoft Surface RT made mixed impression. The hardware and design are impressive. The kickstand is very practical, the magnetic grip is thought-through and works really well, and the full-size USB port is nice to have. The Nvidia Tegra processors ...
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
Microsoft Surface is certainly the most impressive Windows RT tablet - not bad for a software company. Sadly though, unless you’re desperately seeking a tablet with built-in typing skills, it’s just lacking too many apps, and too expensive to make it w...

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...
