There's not much difference between the Surface 2 and its predecessor. Aside from the slight colour change (it's now got a silver finish)
It's still pretty much the same as the rest of the Surface family

No LTE option
Barren Windows Store

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

Surface è sicuramente più di un normale tablet, è produttività, che manca su tutti i prodotti della concorrenza. Windows è un sistema operativo che tutti conoscono e, a parte l'impossibilità di installare applicazioni x86, l'OS supporta tutte le funzioni...

Abstract: Surface 2 conquista Windows RT 8.1 e Office 2013 RT con Outlook. Più leggero del suo predecessore, con Cover Touch 2 può essere impiegato quasi come un laptop sobrio ed essenziale. È un device originale, ma non copre tutte le esigenze di computing. I c...
Materiali e finiture di qualità, performance elevate nel gaming, eccellenti app per la multimedialità, Office 2013 RT incluso
Parco app ancora carente, qualità schermo solo nella media, manca l'opzione 4G/LTE
Microsoft non demorde e, dopo il poco convincente Surface RT dell'anno passato, prosegue la propria battaglia nel mondo tablet, sempre più competitivo e affollato di proposte appetibili.Il Surface 2 ha alcuni assi nella manica per ben figurare: qualità co...
