The editors didn't like
Glossy finish attracts smudges
Proprietary charger. Windows RT still lacks in the apps department. Lacks dedicated full size usb ports without keyboard case. MicroSD card slot can only be accessed with a paperclip. Wish it were a bit slimmer and lighter to compete better with the iPad
Larger than most tablets
Can't run legacy Windows apps
Some popular apps missing from Windows Store
No WiFi version
No full USB port
The lack of a kickstand and Microsoft's Surface 2 make it hard for the Lumia 2520 to stand out. Carrier branding limits its availability and the lack of storage may limit the device for power users. Odd button placement and uninspiring
It's a Windows RT tablet
And an expensive one at that
Flawed touchpad design
It's thicker and heavier than recent tablets
And its pointy corners are distracting. The screen has a yellow tint
Storage expansion is only accessible with a key or paperclip
And the keyboard accessory isn't as comfortable to type on as the Surface 2's
Micro USB 3.0 port is useless without a separate adapter (not included). Mediocre sound quality. Keyboard case sold separately. App selection is limited. Windows RT 8.1 is a tough sell for most people
Limited app selection
Back is fingerprint magnet
Awkward touchpad
Lackluster camera
Windows RT
Some software glitches
Pricey
Even compared to highend competition
Windows RT still lacks apps
Minor bugs and crashes
Weak on-screen keyboard
Tablet is quite heavy
Prone to scratches
Heavy keyboard case
The more I write about the Lumia 2520
The more I think I do need to go order one again. I recommend people take an honest look at their tablet needs and what Windows RT 8.1 can offer them. Don't write off Windows RT because it isn't a full Windows OS. Ta
The Lumia 2520 sets out to be the best Windows RT 8.1 tablet, and it does a very good job at that. We love what Nokia's doing, and our biggest gripe with the tablet – the lack of apps – isn't really Nokia's fault at all. We kind of hope Nokia has a full-b...

The Nokia Lumia 2520 is a great piece of hardware and Nokia has done a good job with it. The display is fantastic and tough to beat. As I mentioned last week, if you use your tablet primarily for media consumption then it should satisfy your needs. The...

Abstract: Windows RT tablets in general are a rare bunch nowadays, so we’re humbled to know that two of the best ones bring back light to the budding platform. Unlike last year, Microsoft made sure to do itself good this time around by outfitting its Surface 2 t...
Though given Microsoft's restrictions on Windows RT, there is little to fault with the Lumia 2520. It is a competitive device with modern specs that rivals the best tablets. However, the limitations of RT is where the Lumia 2520 stumbles when compared to...

Nokia needed a tablet. It took its time with the Lumia 2520, and in many places that consideration shows. The decisions to go with a more usable display and a fast-charging system do make sense for what’s billed as a tablet for work and play, and whil...

Aggressive is a word that best describes Nokia’s strategy of late. And now that they’ve entered the tablet scene with a pretty good contender in the Lumia 2520, it’ll be interesting to see where they go from here. The sky is the limit, right? As for th...
