  • 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

  • For $599
  • The Asus VivoTab RT gives you a package that's more versatil

  • Mediocre screen resolution
  • Desktop UI not finger friendly
  • RT UI too dumbed down in parts
  • Poor stills camera
  • Can't run standard Windows programs

  • Its Windows Store is lacking
  • Metro takes getting used to
  • And the Desktop interface feels clunky and useless

  • 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

  • Microsoft macht halbe Sachen: Das Surface könnte man als innovatives Hybrid-Gerät bezeichnen, also eine Mischung aus Tablet und Notebook. Aber auch Windows RT ist weder als reines, mobiles OS, aber auch nicht als 100-prozentige Windows-Version einzustu...

  • komplizierte Einrichtung von Windows 8 RT, eng begrenzter Leistungsumfang des Systems, fehlendes GPS und Mobilfunk-Anbindung, Tastaturen nur gegen saftigen Aufpreis erhältlich
  • Technik hui, Software pfui. So ließe sich das Surface für Windows RT grob charakterisieren. Das Tablet gefällt mit hochwertiger Verarbeitung und - mit Ausnahme der Kameras - guter Technik. Das Touch Cover kann sogar als genial bezeichnet werden. Allerding...

  • Als Tablet ist das Microsoft Surface kaum schlechter als das iPad und mindestens genauso gut wie Top-Android-Tablets. Aber eben auch nicht besser. Und da es für das RT-Tablet viel weniger Apps gibt als für iPad und Android, steht das Surface insgesamt sch...
