The Microsoft Surface is sturdily built
And the kickstand is a welcome flourish for pro-users. Ignore the haters
Microsoft’s touch keyboard cover is a masterful piece of work. It’s wafer thin but you can pick up a quick pace on it with a bit of practice on it. If you’ve got a regular train commute where you can nab a table
It’s a great way to plow through your emails in the morning. The physic

The editors didn't like
Some clunky software installed. Limited thirdparty software
Interface controls are awful
Meagre app ecosystem
Slow app load speed
Camera poor compared to competitors
Not lap-friendly
Slow loading times
Lack of apps
The Microsoft Surface looks gorgeous in press images. Up close
It’s another matter
For one
It’s not nearly as thin as it looks. Much more of an issue is the aspect ratio
With an 10.6-inch screen (that’s not nearly as sharp as a new iPad or the Google Nexus 10’s display) it’s extremely wide
And added to the bulk
This makes it all but impossible to use in portrait mode. That’s a real shame
A
Poor selection of apps
Not the most intuitive experience
Can be slow to respond
Very few apps to start with
Dull design
Not cheap
Sluggish browsing
Desktop mode is confusing
App ecosystem is lacking
Limited 1
366x768 display resolution
Touch Cover is a £100 optional extra
Will soon be up against the Surface Pro
No GPS or 3G connectivity
Has firstgeneration bugs
Rather weighty and chunky
Odd Windows quirks
Small choice of apps.
Chunky
Hefty build
Windows 8 quirks and lack of apps
Split personality OS
No Retina display
Standard display
Heavier than iPad 4
Sluggish graphical performance
Screen definition / Very new OS (lack of content)
Modern UI control gestures aren't always that intuitive
Surface, Windows 8 platformunun tablet arenasındaki iddiasının gösterilmesi açısından yerinde ve amacına ulaşan bir ürün. Kendinden uzunca bir süre bahsettirdi, hatırı sayılır bir medya ve kullanıcı ilgisi yarattı. Doğrusunu söylemek gerekirse Surface'in...

Een probleem van Windows RT is dat het OS zelf veel ruimte inpikt. Je koopt een tablet met 32 GB geheugen, maar daar is in de praktijk bitter weinig van beschikbaar. We schatten ongeveer de helft. Dat kan snel een probleem vormen, zeker als je graag gam...
Goede hardware, Dag batterijleven, Afneembare toetsenborden/schermhoezen
Browser Internet Explorer 10, Geen Windowssoftware, Slechte emailclient

Ondanks enkele vreemde beperkingen en nadelen zijn we onder de indruk van de bouwkwaliteit en prestaties van de Microsoft Surface RT. Naarmate de Windows 8-omgeving zal groeien, kan dit toestel bovendien alleen maar beter worden....
