Use it like a laptop. Both modes
Good interface

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
In the end, it all comes down to ecosystem. If you’re already invested in Microsoft then it’s a good solution: if you’re a Windows Phone user, or an Xbox 360 gamer, or simply have a background with Windows 7, then Surface will likely fit into your wor...

Top-notch build quality, Touch Cover really does work, Type Cover is a good solution for high-volume text entry, Clear, bright screen with good viewing angles, First-rate Wi-Fi reliability
Touch Cover and Type Cover alike have poor touchpads, No NFC, no GPS, no 3G or 4G, There's no escaping that 1366×768 is a low resolution, $499 unit lacks the all-important Touch Cover, For $599, the Asus VivoTab RT gives you a package that's more versatil
The Surface is a nice tablet. The design and aesthetic are pleasing, the feel in the hands, particularly of the kickstand and magnetic cover connection is excellent. But is it worth buying on the day of release?The big problem Microsoft has is that right...

The tablet's performance can be sluggish, its Windows Store is lacking, Metro takes getting used to, and the Desktop interface feels clunky and useless
If you're an early adopter willing to forget everything you know about navigating a computer, the Surface tablet could replace your laptop. Everyone else: wait for more apps.
Inspired industrial design; nifty kickstand and keyboard options, Fun, fluid, powerful touch gestures, Delivers legit Microsoft Office support--on a tablet, no less
Display isn't world-class, Windows RT is the hobbled alternative to Windows 8
