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

Abstract: Windows RT continues to nibble at the tablet market, with Microsoft applying the cut-down operating system to its much-improved latest generation of Surface tablets. (Those even found some approval from Ars Microsoft Editor Peter Bright.) Nokia—whose shar...

The Lumia 2520 is a solid, first attempt from Nokia to make a Windows RT 8.1 tablet. While the device has excellent specs, inspiring design, button placement and a phenomenal display, its not clear if many users will see the advantage of this tablet over...

Unless you want a Windows RT tablet with cellular connection, skip the Lumia 2520 and get the Surface 2 instead.

Windows 8 tablets have yet to officially take off as we've seen a number of them pop up in the market, but none that have completely wowed us. The Lumia 2520 has certainly wowed us as it brings Nokia's years of experience as a handset maker to the tablet...

Abstract: The tablet market doesn't look very different than it did a year ago from the perspective of who's doing well and who's not. Perhaps the most exciting developments came towards the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 from the usual big guys: Google released...
While it might still struggle due to the limitations of Microsoft's Windows 8.1 RT operating system, Nokia has outdone rival manufacturers by stuffing the tablet full of its own features, be they its camera tools, quirky design or custom application lineu...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Nokia Lumia 2520 Windows 8.1 RT tablet. The Lumia 2520 competes with MS Surface 2 and it runs on the same Windows RT platform. It has an extremely bright full HD 10.1″ IPS display, 32 gigs of storage and 2 gigs of RAM. The 1.3 lb. ta...
