Abstract: The Surface tablet is a flagship Microsoft product — its first foray into the tablet market as a hardware manufacturer. It's almost as locked-down as the iPad – the only applications you can install and run being those that come from the Windows Store — y...
Abstract: A few weeks ago Microsoft held a massive press event in New York where it invited media from around the globe to witness the launch of its latest operating system Windows 8. While the event focused on the software side of things, we didn’t know at the ...
Exceptional design and hardware performance, Highly practical USB port, Longlasting battery, Office applications and SkyDrive integration, Identical user interface as on Windows 8
Low display resolution, Problems with Touch Cover, Small backfacing camera resolution, Slow and unstable Windows Mail, Amount of currently available applications
The Microsoft Surface for Windows RT is an exceptionally convincing and polished device hardware-wise, which represents serious competition for existing top-class 10-inch tablets. Compared to these, it has certain advantages and shortcomings which make i...

Apple's original iPad was introduced in April of 2010. Since then, we've only considered one tablet a serious competitor, and that was Google's Nexus 7. In fact, in The Nexus 7 Review: Google's First Tablet Gets Benchmarked , the plucky little seven-inche...

Weak app selection on launch, Aspects of the UI are not intuitive, Tegra 3 processor is at its limit in this application, Touch Cover is cool, but not particularly functional, Not as capable as Windows 8
There is no question that the Microsoft Surface RT is a fresh take on the tablet space - there simply no other device that is a hybrid of a tablet and a notebook - it also includes a tablet and notebook user interface specifically designed for each mode...
There’s good reason why these two are regarded by many as the two most outstanding tablets on the market right now. Every way we dissect it, there’s no arguing that they exhibit all the qualities we look forward to seeing on premier tablets. If you’re...

Performance & battery life, In the absence of crossplatform benchmarks for comparing Windows RT to iOS and Android devices, we're left with browser benchmarks to give some indication of comparative performance. The picture is mixed, with the Surface showi
For a first outing, Microsoft's ARM-based Surface running Windows RT isn't bad at all, but it is a real curate's egg — both in terms of the hardware and the software. The tablet's build quality is generally good, but there are annoyances, mostly to do ...
