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

  • Design de luxo, Office 2013, Excelente duração de bateria, Duas posições do Kickstand,
  • Windows RT, Windows Store, Mais caro que concorrentes com Windows 8
  • Infelizmente, o conceito é excelente, mas continua com os mesmo problemas, num sistema operativo que, claramente, tem tendência a desaparecer. A minha opinião não mudou em relação ao Surface RT, o problema do Surface 2 continua a ser o sistema operativo...

  • Превосходная конструкция стала еще лучше благодаря дисплею с высоким разрешением и усовершенствованной откидной опоре. Более ­производительный процессор NVIDIA Tegra 4. Может работать от батареи в течение целого дня — свыше 14 ч. Поставляется с пакетами O
  • Клавиатуры TouchCover и TypeCover продаются отдельно. Выбор программ попрежнему сравнительно невелик. Операционная система 8.1 все еще оставляет желать лучшего в отношении возможностей и простоты применения
  • Microsoft Surface 2, несомненно, наилучшая модель в семействе планшетов с Windows RT и поэтому удостоена отличия «Редакция советует» в этой категории. ...

  • адекватная стоимость, неплохая производительность, отличный экран, хорошее качество сборки, поддержка карт памяти, малый нагрев, качественный звук, длительная автономная работа, бесплатный Office 2013 и звонки через Skype
  • не очень хорошая камера, довольно большой вес
  • Microsoft Surface 2 - весьма неплохой планшет, который, по нашим ощущениям, лишен какой-то уникальности. Он оснащен достаточно производительным железом, хорошим экраном, и емким аккумулятором, но абсолютно непримечательным дизайном и операционной системо...

  • Стоит ли покупать? Скорее нет, чем да. Улучшенный экран, камера и процессор делают Surface 2 успешным на фоне Surface RT, но не на фоне других флагманов. Нельзя отрицать, что аксессуарная составляющая Surface 2 великолепна. Type и Touch Cover 2 сделали ...

  • Подведем итог нашего обзора. Компания Microsoft год назад выпустило хорошее устройство, но сейчас они провели работу над ошибками, в результате чего мы можем видеть Surface 2. Качество сборки и материалов придают устройству премиальный вид. В новом планше...

  • Bra skärm,Outlook nu ombord och fungerar,MicroSD-expansion,Anständig batteritid,Bra utsikter för affärsanvändare,Ett steg upp jämfört med originalet,Marketplace kommer att fortsätta växa
  • Windows RT en förvirrad upplevelse,Namngivningskonventionen är udda,Saknar appstöd från rivaler,Udda bildförhållande för en surfplatta,Behöver lägga till ett tangentbord för bästa upplevelse eftersom virtuella tangenter döljer vy,Ingen mobil anslutning
  • Yta 2 kan vara tunnare, lättare och snabbare än tidigare - men bara bara på alla punkter. Och så mycket som de tre orden kanske läser bra på sidan är det senaste Microsoft-erbjudandet framför allt en förvirrande möjlighet. Varför? Eftersom det inte är ful...

  • Den stora frågan är denna: är detta en plattform man faktiskt kan arbeta med dagligen? Mitt svar på den frågan är helt klart ja. Windows RT 8.1 erbjuder både utmaningar och intressanta nyheter för även den mest inbitne Mac-användaren.Därmed inte sagt att ...

  • Abstract:  Surface 2 är Microsofts försök att bredda sin dominans till att även omfatta pekdatorer. Det känns dock inte speciellt sannolikt att det blir Surface 2 som hjälper Microsoft att uppnå det målet....

  • Surface 2 är solitt byggd och ger bra valuta för pengarna – inte minst tack vare det kompletta Office-paketet som ingår. Skärmen är snygg och man kan köra två appar bredvid varandra i operativsystemet. Äkta multitasking alltså
  • Operativsystemet är fortfarande ofärdigt – både som ekosystem och som gränssnitt. Det tar också för mycket lagringsplats. Ljudet är medelmåttigt och sist men inte minst saknar vi en möjlighet att använda mobilt internet
  • Microsoft Surface 2 är ett intressant alternativ på en surfplatta på en marknad som domineras av Apples iPad men som också svämmar över av otaliga Android-baserade produkter. Man får ett komplett Office-paket med på köpet, surfplattan är snabb och robust...
