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

  • Verbeterde kickstand, degelijke behuizing en mooie afwerking, lange accuduur, geschikt voor productief werk dankzij gratis Office RT 2013 en verbeterde touch/type cover 2
  • Software beperkingen: de Windows Store is gegroeid maar mist nog altijd enkele essentiële apps, desktopweergave van Windows 8 werkt op een tablet niet fijn, ten opzichte van de concurrentie is hij aan de zware kant en heeft hij een minder scherp display
  • C.Varkevisser 25 oktober 2013 21:32 Dit is ongepast Geef mij maar een Samsung Note 10.1. Gemakkelijker, meer mogelijkheden en goedkoper. Reageer op deze reactie Hans ...

  • Tegra 4 platformu, Full HD ekran, Güçlü pil ömrü, Başarılı performans
  • Ekran yansıması, 3G/4G ve NFC gibi bağlantıları yok

  • Goed afgewerkt, Schermkwaliteit, Autonomie, Skype, Prijs
  • Windows RT soms verwarrend, App-aanbod
  • De Surface 2 is een betere tablet zijn dan de Surface RT, al blijft het fundamenteel een wat raar schepsel. Bouwkwaliteit, autonomie, schermkwaliteit... het zijn alle punten waar de Microsoft-tablet goed op scoort. Komt daarbij dat Microsoft toch ook ...

  • Abstract:  泡泡网平板 电脑 频道1月3日 “轻”办公理念不知道您是否听说过,这是一个几乎和平板 电脑 在同一时间诞生的。但是我们之前所使用到的 平板电脑 只能算是“轻”,还达不到可以办公的地步。但是随着微软Windows RT系统的出现,让“轻”办公终于照进了现实,而微软基于RT系统打造的最新旗舰就是Surface 2了。微软Surface 2已来到我们评测室数日,但是由于试玩的编辑太多,始终没有轮到作为平板频道编辑的我去体验。滕飞老师是率先拿到Surface 2的,评测完机器后就被其他频道编辑借走了。在盼望Sur...

  • Surface 2当前更是吸引极客或者高级办公人士的选择,对普通消费者的吸引力还不够大,这归根到底还是生态圈的构建问题,微软还需时间。普通消费者拿到Surface 2的第一时间很可能会很迷惑,因为潜意识中就不会觉得的微软电脑不能使用传统exe程序。其实,真正的移动办公更应该去选择Surface Pro 2,这是另外一个话题,详见《国行 Surface Pro 2 评测报告》。附录微软官方宣传的Surface 2亮点性能及优势• 提升个人工作效率。通过预装的为触控优化的Outlook、Word、Excel、...

  • Abstract:  Surface RT 自诞生之初,竞争对手便是已经强大到处于垄断地位的 iPad ,加上后期之秀Android这一脉,按照约定俗成的说法 Surface 这叫“后起之秀”。Surface RT至今已更新到第二代,并且已更名为 Surface 2 ,在补齐第一代一些小问题后,第二代产品细节上确实更加人性化。这人性化改变来自两个方面,一是产品本身的硬件设计,另外一个当然就是系统与应用了。微软 Surface 2(32G) 图片 系列 评测 论坛 报价 网购实价 先说说硬件有哪些变化Surface 2机身颜色...

  • 在我们刚刚完成的测试当中,Surface 2大概支持了6h+的续航,可能对比了对比了iPad动辄10个小时左右的视频播放续航来说,稍显弱势。不过考虑到一个出差人士带着一部可以续航6-7个小时的平板进行文档处理以及新闻阅读,这也可以算是个过的去的成绩。在整个体验结束后,Surface 2对比老一代的Surface RT进步凸显,更时尚讨喜的外观、更强的系统配置、屏幕也变的没那么挫以及Windows RT 8.1应用的数量正在增加,Surface 2看似是个完美的替代者。不过Surface 2仍有很多坎仍难以...
