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
Abstract: Five months after it was launched in other markets, Microsoft's Surface RT has finally landed.More of a laptop than a tablet, the Surface RT is the latest hardware offering from the software giant as it attempts to stay competitive while consumer and b...
Abstract: 2012年第四季微軟推出了Windows 8，似乎為這場戰爭注入了新的競爭態勢。微軟除了在 x86 平台推出 Windows 8 外，還針對 ARM 平台推出 Windows RT，針對手機作業系統的 Windows Phone 8，並且推出自家的平板電腦 Surface。微軟推出2款Surface平板，一款是採用傳統桌機筆電所使用的x86架構（Intel Core i處理器），搭載Windows 8的Surface Pro；另一款則是採用現今智慧型手機以及平板電腦上常見的ARM架構，搭載Windows ...
：站在十字路口 這部 Surface 的 Windows RT 以 ARM 核心推動，不能安裝固有的 x86 Windows 程式，只能安裝 Windows Store 那些專門開發的「Windows 8」風格之平板程式，用意很明顯 -- 打 Android 平板和 iPad。可是使用一段日子之後又覺得它是一個站在十字路口的平台或站在十字路口的平板。微軟在官網指出它是一部從「辦公室到客廳」、「工作對上玩樂」和具有「Windows 的功能、Office Home & Student 2013...

Abstract: 微軟在今年 (2012 年) 的 10 月 26 日，除了宣佈全新一代作業系統 Windows 8 正式上市之外，同時也在全球八個地區開賣了微軟自有品牌的 Windows 8 平板：Surface for Windows RT。由於台灣並沒有在首波開賣名單之內，所以台灣消費者還無法順利買到 (台灣引進的時程未定)，但幸好我們 ePrice 香港站的版主 Eddie 順利借到了這台微軟自行推出的 10 吋平版新貨色，這邊先透過開箱影片、外觀設計介紹和 USB 支援性等部份來跟大家做個介紹，看看 Surfac...
Abstract: 微軟到底會不會進軍自有品牌手機？在微軟宣佈將推出自有品牌的 Surface 平板後，就是眾多人所好奇的問題，雖有 Pink （ Kin ）手機成為最速消滅產品的前車之鑑，還有不惜捨棄過去的強力好夥伴 Nokia 全力支持 Windows Phone ，微軟出不出智慧手機似乎很兩難。新聞參考來源： The Verge先前微軟也不斷消毒，表示短期間沒有推出自主品牌智慧手機的計畫，不過那指的是 2012 年內，畢竟微軟推出 Surface 平板就連資深前員工、現 Nokia CEO Stephen Elop 也...
