The Surface is instantly more charming than any Windows device thATT#39
S come before it. It's nearly the perfect size
And the form is almost beyond reproach. If you want a tablet
Use it like a tablet. If you want a laptop
Use it like a laptop. Both modes
Good interface
Powerful processor
Decent keyboard
Impressive camera

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
Excellent keyboards, Useful kickstand, Great for Windows RT, Stylish look and premium feel
Poor selection of apps, Standard display, Heavier than iPad, Sluggish graphical performance
Microsoft Surface is a strong entrance to the world of PC hardware for Microsoft, and as a device it's certainly highly recommendable. The solid build, kickstand, the associated rage of keyboards and big screen make it adept for both work and play, and it...

Great screen, touch covers are awesome, excellent battery life, full Office 2013, solid hardware
Apps seemed buggy sometimes, slow to start apps, can't really use in portrait, weak ecosystem
A fantastic tablet that is great to use and has awesome battery life. Popular apps are hard to come by for now....
Performance This brings us to the overall performance of the Surface RT. On paper, the figures are mightily impressive: the score of 1042ms recorded in the SunSpider browser benchmark is as fast as any tablet that's ever passed through our lab. Unfortuna...
Great hardware, USB and micro-SD, Versatile form factor
Windows store has very limited software selection so far, Interface can be confusing for the uninitiated
The Surface RT is a great tablet if you don't mind only using the pre-installed software and whatever else you can grab from the currently limited selection in the Windows store. If you're after the full Windows experience on a tablet, you'll be disappoin...

The Surface RT isn't the Surface you're looking for if you want a laptop replacement. If that's what you're after, you'll have to hold your powder until January when the Surface Pro comes along to blow your socks off. No, the Surface RT isn't a laptop rep...
Windows RT takes Microsoft's operating system to places it's never been before. Running on lower-powered ARM chips and forgoing third-party legacy Windows programs, Windows RT emphasizes much of the best of Windows 8
You won't be able to run anything from Windows 7 on Windows RT, and Windows RT tablets have been dogged by performance complaints
Windows RT is a strange beast. On the one hand, speed, security, and the best of Windows 8 make RT a pleasure to use. But app restrictions make Windows RT confusing, and the limited availability of apps undercuts the operating system's usefulness....
