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
Abstract: The Microsoft Surface RT (review here) is Microsoft's own-brand Windows 8 tablet running on an Arm processor. It's well constructed, performs well and is packed with utility. Here's our MS Surface RT video review. Surface RT review: build quality The...

The Surface with Windows RT has undoubted limitation for a business – it won't be replacing your laptop fleet just yet as there are niggles when it comes to using it on the move – but it's well worth investing in one or two even now so you can see the...
Abstract: A unique, superbly designed tablet that’s ideal for mobile professionals, but it comes with too many compromises to make it a must-haveRating: 4Average: 4 (1 vote) When Microsoft dropped the bombshell that it was launching its own tablet, the company n...
Attractive, robust design, Beautiful Live Tile interface, Bundled Office suite, Touch Cover actually works, USB port can be very useful, Support for multiple user accounts, Expandable storage
App ecosystem is lacking, Limited 1,366x768 display resolution, Touch Cover is a £100 optional extra, Will soon be up against the Surface Pro, No GPS or 3G connectivity, Has firstgeneration bugs
Solid build quality, Windows RT is great on tablets, this is the closest a tablet comes to a laptop experience, great battery life, screen is brilliant, largely crash-free
Keyboards are expensive, kickstand angle isn't perfect or adjustable, camera is unforgivably bad, Microsoft app store still lacking
Think of the Surface as something of a leap of faith. It's a great device now, and there's more than enough here to make it worth buying, although we do think it's expensive once you factor in a keyboard, and we urge you to get it with the keyboard, th...
Lightweight, sturdy construction, built-in Office 2013 apps, all-day battery life
No support for existing Windows apps, no 3G broadband, low-res cameras
Microsoft's ARM-based Surface device delivers Windows 8 as a more appliance-like experience, closer to that of consumer media tablets. The combination of Exchange-compatible email and Office 2013 apps built-in make it an attractive option for a mobile ...
Abstract: We bought Microsoft's Surface the day it came out, and we're ready with first impressions and benchmarks. Does the company enable a truly productivity-oriented experience to complement content consumption, or will we have to wait for the Surface Pro? U...
Starting with the hardware aspects of the Surface we have a tablet which feels incredibly solid. There is minimal flex to the back panel and each part fits well to the next even if the VaporMg coating is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. Even the stand feels...
My initial conclusion is that the Surface RT tablet is like nothing I have ever used before. It isn't really like using a tablet, it's sort of like using a trimmed down laptop that the manufacturer has optimised a skin for Windows 8. That skin allows you...
