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

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

Gorgeous 1080p screen, Improved kickstand, excellent range of keyboards, Tegra 4 + Windows 8.1 = usable as an ad-hoc laptop
Restricted to Windows RT apps, Gets expensive with a Touch/Type Cover
The Surface 2 is impressive. It's fast enough for most jobs. The screen's great, and so is the case that surrounds it. It's now a very usable ad hoc laptop, thanks to the two-step kickstand and the fixes in Windows 8.1. There are even enough apps in the W...

Much faster than the Surface RT, Same 1080p screen as the Surface Pro 2, Great battery life, Windows has greatly matured with Windows 8.1 Update 1, Free Office 2013 suite onboard, Many connectivity options
Tablet is too heavy for its size
The Surface 2 is a great tablet from Microsoft, though we couldn't help feeling that this is what the Surface should've been at launch. It seems that Microsoft has lost valuable time and market share by producing the Surface RT, which failed to meet the e...

Improved kickstand with two positions, Great battery life, Full size USB 3.0 port, Full version of Office RT preinstalled, Above average audio
Still quite heavy compared to competition, Windows RT still feels like a compromise, Windows Store still lacking apps
The Surface 2 has been upgraded to NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 4 processor, which is powered by four Cortex-A15 CPU cores. Graphics performance is vastly improved with a 72-core GPU, which is six times faster than the Tegra 3 processor found in the Surface R...
Abstract: I thought to myself, “Well, it is Windows, I'm not particularly surprised.”How does the Surface 2 compare to its predecessor? It is slightly thinner and lighter, at 8.9mm thick and 676g. Not the most portable thing on the market, surely, but it is not a p...
