Too few distinguishing upgrade features
Desktop remains in Windows RT 8.1
Apps ecosystem continues to stumble
Limited app selection
Still relatively heavy
Underwhelming rear camera
Pricey compared with full Windows 8.1 hybrids
Windows RT still lacks apps
Convoluted user experience
OS takes up a lot of storage
App support still lags behind competitors
And Windows RT is still incompatible with legacy programs. It's too easy to mistakenly push the tablet into its lower stance
And the touch pad on the Type Cover 2 isn't as comfortable as it was on the previous v
Windows RT is arguably a more problematic OS now than it was last year
App selection is better
But still far from great
Keyboard costs (too much) extra
TouchCover and TypeCover keyboards sold separately. App selection is still (relatively) small. Windows RT 8.1 is still limited and confusing
Still somewhat limited app ecosystem
Pricey but not Apple pricey
Weak app store
Keyboard not included
Disappointing battery life
Weak
Frustrating app ecosystem
Awkward hardware for any use case
Still not really a hybrid device
Windows Store is growing
But still has holes
More expensive than tablets running full Windows
Main camera has problems with the focus on macro shots

The Surface RT had bigger problems than lackluster specs though, and most of those still persist. First there's the ecosystem. Admittedly, the stable of Metro apps-the only thing you'll be running on your Surface 2-has improved from the very dismal state
Probably not. The better screen, better camera, and better processor help make the Surface 2 a much more compelling tablet than the Surface RT, but its not quite as compelling as the competition while still costing more.That said the Surface 2 is still r...
