A:AnswerIf your looking for more differences on the outside there isn't too much of that, theres more differences in the insides of it. It's got newest generation of Intel processors, so its faster, has a longer battery life, as well as having a better GPU for a video card. It now comes with Windows 8.1 Pro, which is windows newest update. There is an upgrade to the screen color gamut, which microsoft said an increase of 30-40% on that. And of course, the main difference, you now have 2 positions for the kickstand, one more than allows you to have it comfortably on your lap.
To sum it up:
*New Intel processor (better battery/graphics card/faster)
*Windows 8.1 Pro (now adding start menu)
*Better screen
*2 Positions for kickstand (finally you can use it comfortably on your lap)
A:AnswerSurface Pro is a "real" computer. It comes with Windows 8.1 so it should be able to run any software that you use on your desktop (Photoshop, Excel, Acrobat, etc).
Surface RT is the cheaper version that cannot run regular software, just programs from Microsoft's app store.
A:AnswerThe same basic programs you get on any other Windows 8 computer, minus the useless clutter thrown in by most third party manufacturers.
Office is not included, unfortunately, but Office 365 works great on mine and you can get by with older versions (2007 or later) if you have them lying around.

A:AnswerThe storage is a solid state type hard drive built in. The ram memory varies per model. You can expand your storage memory by using a micro sd media. I added a 64gb micro and it accepts that capacity and treats it like an additional hard drive.

A:AnswerIt will depends on how you use it. Heavy use will last around a full day(not watching movies). Average use mostly use on/off here and there may last a 1 or 2. Minimal used the battery last me almost a week just turning on read some email and do some online stuff. I'm on my second day at the time of writing this response with 85% battery. To answer your question Playing movies will last around 8hrs as other reviewers have said the same, I tried it before and is about right.
