Excellent performance with Intel Haswell processors; Runs proper Windows 8, not that Windows RT thing that hates Windows apps; Supports USB 3.0; Metal build makes it very sturdy; Decent battery life; Stand can be positioned in two ways; Power adaptor can
Very expensive; Only one USB 3.0 port; Keyboard isn't included; Heavy;
While the Surface 2 provided a decent tablet experience that looked like Windows 8 and yet provided virtually none of the compatibility Windows 8 users could hope for, the Surface Pro 2 is a different beast altogether, revealing a solid Windows 8 tabl...

Abstract: If you thought Microsoft needed to do something radical to stake its claim in the tablet wars, its new models likely won't impress. The company is sticking to essentially the same strategy as last year, offering up two quite different Windows tablets that...

The Surface Pro 2 is a harder prospect to completely judge. If you want a productivity tablet with a lot of portability, I'd be sorely tempted to opt for something lighter and cheaper such as the Transformer Book T100 or the Toshiba Encore, both of which...

In general, performs pretty well most of the time, Screen bright and contrasty in all angles, Kickstand makes it perfect for lap or desk use
35 second sleep/wake time where rivals are instanton, Display scaling in Windows 8.1 still quite rough, Outofthebox drivers halfbaked
