Made me enjoy Windows RT
Yes
You can use it as your only computer. I would never have made that claim about an iPad or Android tablet. But if you only need to live in Microsoft Office and the web and email
And use your computer for media consumption
You'll do great with this.

The editors didn't like
The tablet has a mediocre battery life
Performance is hit or miss
Weak ecosystem
Buggy software
Doesn't live up to hybrid promise
The TouchCover keyboard's keys could be a little more distinguishable
The camera could have a higher resolution
And some may find the price a little on the steep side
Touch Cover and Type Cover alike have poor touchpads
No NFC
No GPS
No 3G or 4G
There's no escaping that 1366×768 is a low resolution
$499 unit lacks the all-important Touch Cover
For $599
The Asus VivoTab RT gives you a package that's more versatil
Limited app selection
Mediocre screen resolution
Desktop UI not finger friendly
RT UI too dumbed down in parts
Poor stills camera
Can't run standard Windows programs
App selection is very limited compared to other ecosystems
Expensive
The tablet's performance can be sluggish
Its Windows Store is lacking
Metro takes getting used to
And the Desktop interface feels clunky and useless
Few high-quality apps available for now
Poor-quality cameras
Sluggish and unresponsive at times
Display isn't world-class
Windows RT is the hobbled alternative to Windows 8
Relatively Few Apps in Windows Store
Questionable Pricing
Faces stiff competition
Slow to initially launch apps
Bottom Line
The Microsoft Surface with Windows RT bridges the distance between tablet and laptop for many users
Particularly if you use the Web or Microsoft Office constantly. The Surface has very good hardware and some innovative design
But Microsoft
Weak app selection on launch
Aspects of the UI are not intuitive
Tegra 3 processor is at its limit in this application
Touch Cover is cool
But not particularly functional
Not as capable as Windows 8
Low display resolution
Problems with Touch Cover
Small backfacing camera resolution
Slow and unstable Windows Mail
Amount of currently available applications
Windows RT is a broken concept
Laggy performance
No cellular data option
Keyboard covers are way overpriced
Capacitive home button is prone to accidental presses
Purchasing
The Surface RT is priced similarly to other high-end 10″ tablets
Like the
Few "Metro style" apps available
No 3G connectivity
Performance & battery life
In the absence of crossplatform benchmarks for comparing Windows RT to iOS and Android devices
We're left with browser benchmarks to give some indication of comparative performance. The picture is mixed
With the Surface showi
Legacy desktop is slow and difficult to navigate with touch
Currently lacking solid app selection
Lacking a good tutorial
Price is too high
Programs can be slow to load. No 3G or LTE? But I want my internet everywhere! If anything
Touch Cover is too sensitive. You'll find a better selection of apps at your local TGI Friday's
Great design and handling, Good overall performance, One of the best optional portable keyboard addon units
Hefty, Slight learning curve for Windows UI, Limited apps on Windows Store
The Surface with Windows RT is powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core 1.3GHz processor and 2GB RAM. Aside from the different operating system, the Surface can be considered in the same league as the latest crop of Android tablets.As such, we will be compa...

Abstract: There's something disorienting about using Microsoft's Surface RT for the first time if you're used to using Windows 8 on anything larger than a tablet. The experience has such a Zen-like simplicity and inevitability to it that one doesn't expect to see t...
