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

  • Abstract:  Surface 2 er på mange måder en lidt spøjs størrelse Der er tale om en velbygget 10,6″- tablet. I sagens natur har vi med et Windows-baseret produkt at gøre, men fordi der er tale om Windows RT 8.1, har man ikke alle de fordele, man ellers skulle regne me...

  • Abstract:  Microsofts RT-tablet viser gode takter, men har begrænsninger Med Surface 2 vil Microsoft blandt andet bevise over for sine samarbejdspartnere, at Windows også kan bruges som styresystem i tablet computere. Det var nærmest hele idéen med Windows 8, at det...

  • Abstract:  Surface 2 er Microsofts forsøg på at udbrede dominansen på alverdens pc'er til også at omfatte tablets. Det virker dog ikke sandsynligt, at det lige bliver Surface 2, der kommer til at hjælpe Microsoft i den henseende....

  • Surface 2 er solidt bygget og giver god valuta for pengene – ikke mindst pga. den fulde Office-pakke, som følger med produktet. Skærmen er pæn, og operativsystemet lader brugeren køre to apps ved siden af hinanden. Det er ægte multitasking
  • Operativsystemet er stadig for ufærdigt – både som økosystem og som brugerflade. Det optager også for meget af lagerpladsen. Lyden er middelmådig, og sidst, men ikke mindst mangler vi muligheden for mobilt internet
  • Microsoft Surface 2 er et interessant bud på en tablet i et marked, der stadig domineres af Apples iPad, men også bliver oversvømmet af utallige Android-baserede produkter. Man får en komplet Office-pakke med i købet, tabletten er hurtig og robust bygge...

  • Som enkeltstående tablet fungerer Surface 2 rigtig fornuftigt, men det er først når der tilsluttes ekstra tastatur, at Surface 2´s sande potentiale kommer op til overfladen.Alene som tablet har Surface 2 sine begrænsninger, og det er derfor ærgerligt, at...

  • szybki procesor Tegra 4, długi czas pracy, dobry wyświetlacz, wysoki poziom ergonomii, tryb hosta USB
  • brak obsługi aplikacji x86, ekran silnie odbija światło
  • W tablecie Microsoft Surface 2 znajdziemy dwie absolutne nowości procesor nVidia Tegra 4 oraz Windows RT 8.1. W teście urządzenie wykazało się świetną mobilnością, dobrej jakości ekranem Full HD i łatwością obsługi. Być może Surface 2 nie będzie pogromcą...

  • Tablet waarmee je werkelijk productief kan zijn, Office RT 2013 meegeleverd, Bijzonder stevige behuizing, Kickstand, Full size USB3.0 poort, Accuduur, Mooi beeldscherm
  • Windows RT is beperkt (hoewel dit begrijpelijk is), Type cover is onmisbaar waarvan muisknoppen niet prettig werken
  • De Surface 2 is tablet waar je werkelijk productief op kan zijn. Het heeft een een bijzonder stevige behuizing en een mooi beeldscherm. Ook gaat het systeem erg lang mee op een enkele acculading. Het besturingssysteem is beperkt, maar als je het bekijkt ...

  • USB-poort, Kickstand, Bouwkwaliteit, Langwerpig formaat is ideaal voor het kijken van video's, Extern bureablad (RDP) werkt zoals je dat ook kent op je werk en/of privé, I.c.m. TypeCover 2 een betere laptopvervanger dan de iPad, Nexus 10, Nexus 7, etc, Pr
  • Ontwikkelaars weten de weg nog niet echt te vinden naar de Store, Langwerpig formaat is niet zo ideaal voor het lezen van boeken, Accuduur is niet super slecht, maar verbruik in standby valt tegen
  • Ik hoop dat het niet alleen maar hosanna is in deze review. De Surface 2 heeft zeker minpunten. Op volgorde van meest hinderlijk (persoonlijk): Store, accuduur. Zelf heb ik mijn iPad verkocht om een 7-8" tablet aan te schaffen, echter ben ik gevallen voo...

  • Schermresolutie, Behuizing, Aansluitingen, Microsoft Office
  • Windows RT, App-aanbod
  • Microsoft heeft de Surface 2 ten opzichte van de Surface (RT) flink verbeterd en het apparaat loopt nu vloeiend. De ingebouwde standaard is door zijn dubbele stand veel bruikbaarder. Het meest in het oog springende verschil is het scherm dat qua kleurwee...
