This Surface tablet is solidly built, with a slim, detachable, magnetized keyboard. The tablet is fairly intuitive and boots up right away. One thing about the keyboard, though, is that it is very light relative to the tablet itself, so if you are walking around the room, it's awkward to balance. I would recommend attaching the keyboard for when you have the unit sitting upright on a desk. but if you're lounging around, then you're better off detaching it and using the onscreen one, which is excellent. A click of the address bar will display your regularly visited sites and also your most recent pages. The device's five-contact-point magnetized charger seems a bit puzzling in that you have to make sure you align it properly and that the little blue light is on before it will charge. Software wise, you still are not going to get all the apps you can with Android and Apple. But the tablet apps do seem more numerous than what you can get through Windows on a smartphone. Also, you have no other browser option on the RT beyond Internet Explorer; you can't download Chrome. You also can't upgrade to Windows 10, and by extension, the new Microsoft Edge browser. Despite some of these drawbacks, this is a solid machine, and I think of it more as a laptop than a tablet. For what I believe most people want a tablet for: email, videos and apps, the RT delivers and seems like it is built to last a long time.Read full review

This product was not as described as having Win10 it came with Windows 8 that need upgrade to Win 8.1. Which cause the keyboard and home button to stop working. The tablet is a very good device, responsiveness is great. It just was not what I read in the description and was expecting. Suggest you either devliver item with 10 installed or give product key with instructions to install.

I would have given it 5 Stars but the biggest issue I have with Surface RT is Silverlight support which is also a Microsoft product, you won't be able to install the software on this device therefore you won't be able to view websites that requires it. Although there are only a few websites I go to that requires Silverlight they are very important to me and I can't afford not be able to visit them on a daily basis and the idea of having this limitation forced me to return this item. PROS: 1. Price - $199.00 was a steal. 2. Battery Life - which last for at least 8 hours. 3. Weight - very light and portable. 3. Screen - Although not a Full HD, it is bright and responsive. CONS: 1. Silverlight support. 2. Could not get the gesture to work on Touch Cover 2 with Backlighting Model 1570. CONCLUSION: Great product, would have been perfect if it supports Silverlight. I would recommend a different version of this product like Surface Pro 2 or 3 to a friend.Read full review
Great product all in all. Fast and super easy to use. The apps you can download are limited to Microsoft apps (there are not many). Would not let me download apps at first. It claimed my internet was too slow, which it definitely was not. Did a factory reset and this fixed the problem. But happened again two weeks later. Called Microsoft for help but since the warranty was up from the previous owner, Microsoft would not help with the issue unless I wanted to pay them $29.99. I just use the browser for things like Facebook, Audible, Kindle, and Netflix. The product itself is great. I love that Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, & PP) are already on the device.

This is a tablet that is well worth the money if you know what your doing. The WindowsRT operating system is new and the app store is a bit barren which is both good and bad. Both the Apple AppStore and Google Play Store are saturated with pointless apps and great apps, like wise the Windows Store has the same mixed bag just less volume. The apps that I use on my Surface are well suited for it and work perfectly, and I'm a heavy Google app user. Coming from Androids Eco system there are a few things I miss, namely three: I would love to be able to see my Google Play Books, my Google Play Newsstand, and Chrome. But those three items as side, I could not be happier with my SurfaceRt. The battery life is amazing, games look great, movies are beautiful on this display, music booms out the speakers, and remote desktop makes my tablet feel like a full fledged PC. If you know what your doing, you will get way more then you paid for.Read full review
