Engadget Review
The new Surface Pro is more viable as a laptop replacement, but it hasn't made much progress as a standalone tablet. Ultimately, it's at its best in laptop mode, but it's still not always as comfortable to use as a proper Ultrabook.
Pros
- Attractive, well-built hardware
- Great display
- Fast performance, improved battery life
- More comfortable to use in the lap
Cons
- Still heavy as a standalone tablet
- Typing experience hasn't improved much

It packs ultrabook-class components into an innovative form factor with a sturdy chassis.

Ultimately, the Pro is at its best in laptop mode, but it's still not always as comfortable to use as a proper Ultrabook.AnandTech80Microsoft Surface Pro 2 ReviewJust like last year, my recommendation comes with a caution – Surface Pro 2 is good, I’m happier using it than I was with last year’s model, but the Broadwell version will be even better.Wired70After Problem-Plagued Year, Microsoft Re-SurfacesI’m still bullish on Surface, and Windows 8.1.

But the connective tissue between the two that falls short, and both sides of the equation are weaker for it.CNET80Better battery and performance, same thick bodyMicrosoft's subtly updated Windows 8.1 tablet feels more like Surface Pro 1.5 -- improved battery life and better accessories make it a worthwhile (albeit pricey) laptop replacement, but it's still not an iPad-level category killer.PC WorldNot RatedMicrosoft Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 benchmarks aThe original Surface Pro conked out under heavy load in just 2.5 hours or so, though lighter Web browsing and battery management could push it out a couple more. One Microsoft employee we talked to felt that the new SurfacePro 2 could pull five hours under heavy gaming.Ars TechnicaNot RatedHands on with Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2: SecondThat change is, however, basically invisible.

It measures 0.53 inches thick and weighs 2 pounds. And unlike the Surface 2, it only comes in black.

We highly recommend it. - EngadgetEngadget Reader30April 23, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I can only partially understand the rave reviews that users give this product. It must be due largely to the fact that most users are sick of carrying two devices - a heavy laptop and tablet which is overly limited in functionality. I bought and used the Surface Pro 2 8GB RAM/256GB SSD for a period of 3 weeks, and finally returned it. The problems I encountered in order of severity are:1. GLITCHY: I had delays and crashes with MSIE, File Explorer, Outlook, and Word. I had to turn off right and left swiping with the mouse because of eratic behavior caused by accidentally engaging the charms menu when editing documents (or do anything else, for that matter) with the keyboard. Miracast simply didn't work, and MS Support could not get it to work, either. Neither were they able to resolve the missing/broken OS features that I encountered. 2. UNCOMFORTABLE: As a laptop it´s too small, and as a tablet it doesn´t meet my needs. For example, it doesn´t have instant-on functionality (OK, it boots very quickly, but it´s not instant-on), or enough apps. Also the apps installed by default often duplicate, and are poor siblings of actual applications on the desktop. Not enough screen real estate to work comfortably for extended periods. Keyboard is too small, and quickly becomes a pain. The pen, which is fantastic with One-note, is also fundamental when working with Office applications because parts of the UI are so tiny you HAVE TO use the pen. Unfortunately, things like double clicking don´t come easy with the pen. I also found that the proximity of the X for closing the pop-up keyboard and the Backspace key on it caused problems from time to time. Unfortunately, there are many, many issues like this which mean that you have to learn to live with them for this to be a viable working platform for you.3. EXPENSIVE: It´s not expensive for the actual quality of the hardware. It´s expensive because it doesn´t provide enough bang for the buck. Also, if you want to use it as a laptop for work you´re going to have to buy lots and lots of peripherals - VGA connector, LAN connector, HDMI connector (if you travel a lot), and the touch keyboard, minimally. If you buy the battery keyboard, add another $200. (Does anyone know how many charges you can expect from that $200 keyboard? Also, there's a reason that they offer the battery keyboard. I didn't get close to the benchmarked battery time.) You have to buy MS Office separately, and you´ll need to buy a case. If you only get the case and touch keyboard you´re looking at $1550+. That´s not cheap for a core i5 device, by anyone´s standards. (OK, you get a touch screen, and the Haswell processor).For anyone who´s skeptical about this review, I did the following when I bought the device: upgraded the OS,and all the latest patches, via Windows update, installed MS Office and checked again for updates...and transferred my files to the new machine. Other applications that I installed were mainstream ones that work on my other laptop. I love the concept, and really, really wanted this to work for me. Oddly enough, I´m still tempted to go back and buy one - despite all the problems. But, that´s just it. I think I'm suffering from the same euphoria that is at the root of the rave user reviews. We've all been waiting for something just like what the Surface Pro 2 is supposed to be. BUT, IT´S NOT WHAT IT´S SUPPOSED TO BE. ...And, that´s the problem. So, I am forcing myself to be realistic in my rating, and give this a 3, which is what it truly deserves. My advice is to wait for the Surface Pro 3 or 4, when MS will finally have worked out the bugs.Engadget Reader80March 24, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!There's a lot to like about this in spite of a few flaws. - Engadgetchloeburroughs190March 16, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I bought the 256gb/8gb version at the Microsoft Store. The guy was a bit rude, but for the machine, I happily accepted it. It's the Wacom digitizer paired with the Intel chip that won me over. Essentially, it's a Centiq with less buttons and a much lower price, though you must download the Wacom driver if you want pressure sensitivity in programs outside of "Apps". All my Adobe apps (Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition) run flawlessly on it, though it depends on Intel integrated graphics, which can be a let-down if you want to use Mercury Playback Engine for rendering and such. I can't really comment on the App ecosystem. I've only downloaded one "app", and that's Netflix (it's a great app). Setup was really easy, too. I signed in and in about a minute, all the setting from when I played with the beta loaded. I was really surprised how many hours of customizing it saved me.There are three main things that irk me about this device though, and all are about accessories. 1) There is no place to put the pressure sensitive pen if you are docked or charging. Some people have suggested putting it on the bottom where the keyboard magnet is. This seems clunky. 2) There needs to be another magnet on the top corner of the device to keep the keyboard cover closed (think MacBook or any of the hundreds of laptops that do it, too). All that currently holds it is gravity. 3) Microsoft really can't fix this one, but there are no 3rd-party accessories for the Surface. No covers, keyboards, cases or anything unless Microsoft makes it, which is disappointing. Zune had the same issue later in it's life.I also found the first-party accessories to be really expensive. After dropping $1400 after tax on the device, I had to buy the $200 dock, the $130 keyboard cover, and $40 on a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, which must be an MS adapter or it won't work. Need ethernet? $40 adapter. The most expensive one still only comes with the $30 pen. That said, Apple plays the same game, though sometimes (believe it or not) are a little cheaper.Make a long story short (too late), it's a great fullsize computer in a tablet form factor. They went after what a professional would look for in a tablet, and really One-Upped it. If you want a tablet with real programs and apps, you would be silly to not give this a look. And if you're afraid of upgrade-ability, most Apple laptops now suffer the same crippling disabilities without the benefit of this form factor.Engadget Reader100March 5, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90February 25, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This review was written after 4 months of use....If you are a minimalist like me and like to carry less, this device is the perfect solution. I previously carried with me my Windows laptop, Android phone and iPad for all my business trips. Often would only carry my ipad and phone everywhere for personal use. Nowadays, I find myself just bringing my phone and Surface everywhere. Between my Surface and using my phone as a hotspot, I am able to quickly and easily do anything that I could ever need without compromise.Admittedly, although the MS ecosystem is not as developed as Android or Apple, I have noticed it is growing. However, the quality of the apps do lack at times. More importantly, the ability to install and use legacy Windows desktop programs used by my company allows me to seamlessly switch between work and play on the fly. This in itself is priceless. I do see others using Macbook Air and parallels to run Windows, which is fine, but again as a minimalist, I gravitate towards simpler and effective solutions.Engadget Reader100February 21, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I love this tablet. I love drawing on the screen. I love using it for animation. I love it for browsing the web with no limitations. It's a bit heavy though, and I have a time positioning it on my lap. I bought the keyboard accessory and it feels complete now. The Mini SD cards are pretty cheap for extra storage, and possibly thing I don't want my household accessing like business paperwork.Engadget Reader100February 15, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The PC have great speed, as well as I think this year is mobile PC year.Engadget Reader100February 14, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader100February 2, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90January 14, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Detailed review at http://tommurray88.blogspot.com.auEngadget Reader90December 31, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.

Soo... Microsoft hardware beats everyone, quality, design, system integration. Computer is ridiculously fast, even if it has only i5 on the inside (i switched from lenovo w510). While the design is quirky to say the least, after two weeks or so you will start to appreciate the versatility. People who criticize surface simply did not spent enough time with it, this product is so drastically different from everything else on the market that you really need time to fully understand it. From now on i will exclusively go only with microsoft hardware. I can not emphasize how good it is, if they release bigger laptop work station im going to get it right away. I love my surface and love to see peoples surprise faces when they realize that it runs real programs. The biggest problem with surface is that people simply think that it is a competitor for the ipad and they assume that it can do only thinks what ipad does, and they start to compare size weight or battery life. If microsoft want to succeed they need to make commercials which shows that you can do on this device:run professional software,install software which lets you run all android and apple apps use wacom stylus (educate people that stylus is actually better than finger for many applications)build quality is superior and if you really want to you can have fart appsEngadget Reader90October 27, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I just don't get all off the 'jack of all trades master of none reviews' I think people should focus on what something does and not what something is. If you need an ultra portable full powered PC then this is the only way to go. Yes you do have to spend a bit of extra money for a keyboard to make it a full laptop capable device but it is very much worth it and what other tablet comes with one? However whip off the keyboard and you also have a very capable tablet. Yes you are not going to want and try to manipulate a Windows desktop using your finger but lets think about apps and what is possible. This is no Apple iPad killer and no one should try and compare the two. If you want to surf the web laying down in bed, read a book or play Words with Friends get an iPad, if you want to take you whole office PC or development machine on the road I can think of anything better than a Surface. Lets not forget USB 3, mini Display Port and Memory card expansion too.Engadget Reader100October 26, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetWill100October 25, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader100October 25, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90October 25, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Summary:The Surface Pro 2 features evolutionary changes to its predecessor that improve on the original. The Surface Pro 2 now comes standard with the Haswell-based processor which offers improved performance and battery life, and its dual-angle kickstand is also welcome.Review:The Surface Pro 2 combines the ability to create and consume content. As we move forward in the Post-PC era, our devices will morph into smaller form factors that are equally adept at productivity as well as consuming content.The Surface Pro 2 combines both of those worlds into a single device, equally suited for the office and also for play. Running the full version of Windows 8.1 Professional, the Surface Pro 2 can run all of the Win32 applications that you are accustomed to, as well as any new Modern applications available in the Windows Store. It has all of the built in security features that your corporate IT department demands (TPM, Bitlocker) while maintaining the ability to function on the go. Thanks in large part to the new dual-angle kickstand, the Surface Pro 2 works amazingly well in an airplane on the tray stand affording plenty of room to type normally.The actual hardware, is beautiful and of high quality. Crafted from a molten magnesium alloy, VaporMg is three times lighter than aluminum, with a highly durable exterior. Anti-fingerprint coating helps keeps Surface looking flawless. Easily the best-in-class construction.On the inside, the new Surface Pro 2 comes with the 4th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-4200U Processor (1.6 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost up to 2.6 GHz), with Intel HD Graphics 4400 with 4 or 8 GB RAM (Dual-channel LPDDR3) which makes launching applications very fast.Like many other ultra-books on the market today, the Surface Pro 2 is not expandable in terms of adding memory or a larger drive. So make your purchasing decision with that in mind.The accessories really shine. The Touch 2 and Type 2 covers have been greatly improved over the original versions, now featuring over 1000 touch points for far more accurate typing and are both backlit. I am able to type nearly as fast and mistake free on these new covers than I am on my Lenovo laptop. In 2014 Q1, Microsoft will release a power cover that also provides an additional battery to help the Surface Pro 2 power through long days on a single charge. They will also release a docking station that provides additional USB ports, a mini-display port to connect additional monitors.Conclusion:The Surface Pro 2 is far and away the best choice for the business-minded-consumer who wants a tablet that will shine in both corporate America as well as while off work. I am a long time iPad user and once I picked up the Surface Pro 2, I realized just what I had been missing all along. The ability to get work done as well as play. I will never go back.
