But almost everything that wasn't wonderful about the Surface Pro is still present in the Surface Pro 2. Perhaps most telling-and troubling-are the systemic issues that a spec bump can't fix
Abstract: For those of you who are still understandably confused by the Surface lineup, the Surface Pro 2 runs full Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit and it can handle anything that a contemporary Ultrabook can do. You can install Photoshop CS or CC, Skyrim and USB drivers me...
Additional kickstand angle, Long battery life, Updated Windows 8.1 experience, Speedy performance
Hefty size and weight for a tablet, Pricey cost, Cameras are not good, Stylus can easily be misplaced/lost
It’s really tough to say what we think about the Microsoft Surface Pro 2. On one hand, it’s a powerful computing machine that would run circles around most of the flagship tablets out there, but on the other, we can’t help but think about how it’s tryi...

Bulky and heavy, Magnetic power connection is still awkward, No support for 802.11ac WiFi, No GPS, NFC or mobile broadband, Expensive, Back in February, when we reviewed Microsoft's thirdgeneration (Ivy Bridge) Core i5based Surface Pro running Windows 8 P
The Surface Pro 2 is an improvement on the original model, especially in the much-needed area of battery life. The dual-angle kickstand is another welcome enhancement. However, the 900g/2lb chassis design was bulky and heavy at the beginning of the year, ...
I really like using Surface Pro 2 and Windows 8.1 in general as a productivity focused tablet OS. The screenshot below really helps illustrate what I would love to do on most tablets, but what I can only do (well) on a Surface: Writing an article on th...

Abstract: Who has a tablet? That's right, pretty much everybody. Now, who has a tablet that can run full Photoshop ? Suddenly the show of hands goes way down, limited pretty much to only non-ARM-powered Windows slates.And finally, who has a tablet that can run full...

If you found nothing compelling about the Surface Pro, theres little here to change your mind. The appeal is still pretty niche. This device is largely for professionals who have some sort of specific need for ultra-portability mixed with a full-featured...

The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is a faster, longer-battery-life version of the original model, upgraded with a current-gen Haswell processor. The keyboard cover is also improved with backlit keys, and is among the best tablet accessories ever devised
The Surface Pro 2 remains stubbornly thick and heavy compared with some sleeker competitors. The base 64GB version may leave you starved for storage, and the keyboard cover, practically required, should be included instead of sold separately
Microsoft's subtly updated Windows 8.1 tablet feels more like Surface Pro 1.5 -- improved battery life and better accessories make it a worthwhile (albeit pricey) laptop replacement, but it's still not an iPad-level category killer.
