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

  • Finition, Autonomie, Port USB
  • Logithèque limitée, Poids, Espace de stockage disponible
  • Microsoft a amélioré une tablette qui était déjà très intéressante l'année dernière. Il s'agit d'un très bel appareil qui saura ravir ceux qui recherchent un appareil pratique pour des applications bureautiques ou de la navigation web. Malheureusement le ...

  • Finition, Ecran Full HD, Port microSD, USB 3.0, sortie vidéo, Performances, Autonomie, Les claviers en accessoires, Microsoft Office 2013, Prix, La béquille à deux positions
  • Son gabarit encore très imposant face à un iPad Air (par exemple), Le Windows Store encore assez vide, Confusion entre Windows RT et Windows 8
  • Avec la Surface 2, Microsoft revoit sa copie et améliore son produit original. Plus puissante, plus autonome, toujours aussi bien taillée pour la bureautique, la Surface 2 conviendra parfaitement aux premiers acheteurs de la Surface RT, mais est-ce suffis...

  • Au jeu de la tablette multimédia/familiale, la lourdeur de Surface 2, la complexité de son système et, soyons honnêtes, la concurrence acharnée la relèguent au rang d'outsider sans poids réel. Ajoutons à cela l'aspect discutable de la quantité de mémoire...

  • Plus légère que Surface RT, Ecran Full HD de qualité, Très bonnes performances
  • Windows RT toujours bridé, Windows Store encore pauvre, Quelques soucis de finition
  • Surface 2 a tout du produit qu'on voudrait aimer, mais qui continue d'être un cran en dessous de nos attentes. La nouvelle version de la tablette de Microsoft fait mieux que la très moyenne Surface RT sur presque tous les points: design corrigé sur certa...

  • Abstract:  Nullement échaudé par les méventes de sa tablette Surface sous Windows RT, Microsoft remet le couvert avec la Surface 2. Une machine bien remaniée à l'intérieur avec une configuration musclée tout en conservant une finition et qualité perçue très premium....
