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

Abstract: 2012年第四季微軟推出了Windows 8，似乎為這場戰爭注入了新的競爭態勢。微軟除了在 x86 平台推出 Windows 8 外，還針對 ARM 平台推出 Windows RT，針對手機作業系統的 Windows Phone 8，並且推出自家的平板電腦 Surface。微軟推出2款Surface平板，一款是採用傳統桌機筆電所使用的x86架構（Intel Core i處理器），搭載Windows 8的Surface Pro；另一款則是採用現今智慧型手機以及平板電腦上常見的ARM架構，搭載Windows ...
：站在十字路口 這部 Surface 的 Windows RT 以 ARM 核心推動，不能安裝固有的 x86 Windows 程式，只能安裝 Windows Store 那些專門開發的「Windows 8」風格之平板程式，用意很明顯 -- 打 Android 平板和 iPad。可是使用一段日子之後又覺得它是一個站在十字路口的平台或站在十字路口的平板。微軟在官網指出它是一部從「辦公室到客廳」、「工作對上玩樂」和具有「Windows 的功能、Office Home & Student 2013...

Abstract: 微軟在今年 (2012 年) 的 10 月 26 日，除了宣佈全新一代作業系統 Windows 8 正式上市之外，同時也在全球八個地區開賣了微軟自有品牌的 Windows 8 平板：Surface for Windows RT。由於台灣並沒有在首波開賣名單之內，所以台灣消費者還無法順利買到 (台灣引進的時程未定)，但幸好我們 ePrice 香港站的版主 Eddie 順利借到了這台微軟自行推出的 10 吋平版新貨色，這邊先透過開箱影片、外觀設計介紹和 USB 支援性等部份來跟大家做個介紹，看看 Surfac...
Abstract: 微軟到底會不會進軍自有品牌手機？在微軟宣佈將推出自有品牌的 Surface 平板後，就是眾多人所好奇的問題，雖有 Pink （ Kin ）手機成為最速消滅產品的前車之鑑，還有不惜捨棄過去的強力好夥伴 Nokia 全力支持 Windows Phone ，微軟出不出智慧手機似乎很兩難。新聞參考來源： The Verge先前微軟也不斷消毒，表示短期間沒有推出自主品牌智慧手機的計畫，不過那指的是 2012 年內，畢竟微軟推出 Surface 平板就連資深前員工、現 Nokia CEO Stephen Elop 也...
