  • It’s not nearly as thin as it looks. Much more of an issue is the aspect ratio

  • Strakke vormgevin, Zeer goed scher, De hardware en Windows 8-software werkt goed samen
  • Te duur
  • De Microsoft Surface is 'king of the hill' op het gebied van Windows 8-tablets. Dit is het product waar andere fabrikanten naar moeten kijken om te zien hoe het óók kan. Zonder overbodige franjes maar met een strakke vormgeving en een sterk bedienings...

  • Goede bouwkwaliteit, Optimale integratie met toetsenbord covers, Office wordt meegeleverd
  • Beperkt app aanbod, Beperkte inzetbaarheid combi toetsenbord/tablet, Kickstand kan maar in één hoek open
  • Ik heb de Microsoft Surface RT de afgelopen week met veel plezier gebruikt en zie ik het ondanks mijn bedenkingen en ervaren software vertragingen als beste Windows 8/RT product dat ik tot nu toe gebruikt heb. Een Windows machine met een goede batterijd...

  • Abstract:  Microsofts eigen tablet, de Surface RT, is vanaf vandaag bij ons te verkrijgen. Is het toestel te verkiezen boven een iPad voor zakelijk gebruik? Collega Steve Ranger zocht het uit. Het heeft de technologie-industrie twintig jaar gekost om uit te zoeken ...

  • van de Surface RT, mooie en degelijke behuizing, soepele en intuïtieve bediening van het tegelsysteem, gratis Office 2013 RT
  • van de Surface RT
  • De Surface RT is in potentie een heel goede tablet: vooral voor tekstverwerken is hij prima geschikt. Helaas doen de beperkingen van Windows RT wel iets af aan de gebruikservaring. Het geringe aantal apps in de Windows Store is een gemis. Ook is het er...

  • De Microsoft Surface is een goede tablet, maar er zijn een aantal zwakke punten. De prestaties vallen bijvoorbeeld tegen - gemeten met de momenteel beschikbare benchmarks. Andere tablets met Tegra 3 SoC's behalen hogere scores. De Surface biedt echter ...

  • Hoogwaardige behuizing met handige standaard, Innovatieve Touch Cover, Office 2013 meegeleverd.
  • Relatief groot en zwaar, Apps starten duurt soms lang, Ecosysteem is nog jong en appaanbod relatief klein
  • De Surface RT leek ons zo vernieuwend dat we hem uit het buitenland geïmporteerd hebben en achteraf zijn we daar heel blij mee, want hij weet zich zeker te onderscheiden van andere tablets. De behuizing ziet er strak uit en is netjes afgewerkt. De ingebo...
