The editors didn't like

  • 1080p screen lags behind other tablets
  • Same rehashed design
  • No LTE option
  • Barren Windows Store
  • Desktop mode
  • 16
  • 9 ratio not great on tablet
  • The Surface 2 still isn't sure what it's supposed to be. It's a tablet/laptop hybrid that wants to be both
  • But only partially succeeds in either. While Office is bundled
  • It's not a touch-optimised version
  • Meaning you'll have to use either the Touch or Type Covers to get work done - making it more laptop than tablet. But as it's also a Windows RT machine
  • You won't have access to all the legacy
  • Lack of apps
  • Windows RT still feels confused and muddled
  • No legacy app support
  • Limited developer support
  • No LTE
  • Very heavy for a device designed primarily as a tablet
  • Disappointing sound quality
  • App store is limited
  • Can be unwieldy
  • Windows RT a confused experience
  • Naming convention is odd
  • Lacks app support of rivals
  • Odd aspect ratio for a tablet
  • Need to add a keyboard for best experience as virtual keys obscure view
  • No mobile connectivity
  • Restricted to Windows RT apps
  • Gets expensive with a Touch/Type Cover
  • Not enough apps at Windows Store (not even big ones like Facebook and YouTube)
  • Too few games & mediocre gaming performance
  • Screen borders still too wide
  • Poor quality rear camera
  • Proprietary port for charging
  • It's lighter than the Surface RT... but st
  • Super expensive
  • Only seventh gen Intel mobile chips
  • Older graphics processor
  • No Thunderbolt 3
  • No HDR support
  • Not upgradable
  • No AAC support
  • Only fold flat
  • Noise cancelling and sound not quite as good as rivals
  • Limited apps in Windows Store
  • Windows RT still confusing in places
  • Dreadful speakers
  • Too few quality tablet apps
  • Expensive jump to 4G
  • The limitations of Windows RT eventually becomes the main downside
  • The angular nature of the Surface isn't the most ergonomic
  • The cameras aren't the best
  • Using the destktop is necessary
  • But not fun at all
  • Heavy for its class
  • Type Cover is expensive ($130)
  • Windows Store app selection is still bad
  • Keyboard covers sold separately
  • Windows RT 8.1 is still limited

  • La Nokia Lumia 2520 presenta un desempeño veloz en juegos con soporte LTE desde el principio. Xbox Music es un app de streaming de música sumamente sólida, y Nokia Music te permite escuchar canciones que no están en tu colección sin una conexión a Interne
  • Es más gruesa y pesada que otras tabletas recientes, y sus esquinas puntiagudas son una distracción. La pantalla tiene un tinte amarillo, la expansión de almacenamiento sólo se puede acceder con un clip o una llave y el accesorio de teclado no es tan cómo

  • Excelente diseño, Rápida y buen desempeño en aplicaciones, Office, Outlook, 200 GB de SkyDrive gratuitos
  • Escritorio de Windows innecesario, Catálogo de Apps, Nota: Esta Surface 2 ha sido cedida por Microsoft España y su agencia de comunicación como unidad de análisis
  • Microsoft ha escuchado a sus clientes y ha logrado hacer una segunda generación arreglando algunos de los problemas que más molestaban, pero no todos . Además de ser más delgada, más potente, Surface 2 ofrece más servicios gratuitos durante dos años co...

  • No nos atrevemos a apostar porque un simple cambio de nombre vaya a hacer de la Surface 2 un éxito comercial rotundo, sin embargo, las mejoras de esta generación merecen un enorme crédito. Microsoft ha innovado con su tablet ligera y ha añadido evolucio...

  • Rendu global de l'écran / Réactivité de la machine, Office 2013 Étudiant intégré, Belle autonomie / Webcam de très bonne qualité, Design et finitions toujours au top / Béquille très pratique, Un bon clavier TypeCover 2 qu'il faut posséder pour exploiter t
  • Environnement applicatif encore à la traîne / Il manque encore trop de "stars" de l'appli mobile, Même constat pour les jeux : catalogue trop pauvre et performances basiques, Bords de l'écran encore trop larges, Capteur photo arrière médiocre / Chargement
  • Dotée d'excellentes finitions, d'un écran Full HD très honorable et d'une bonne autonomie, la Surface 2 constitue un morceau de choix pour qui souhaite posséder une tablette à "à-peu-près-tout-faire", mais reste en deçà de certains équivalents dans le hau...
