Besides this being a Surface 2 the Att function is fantastic. It's fast and everything you need office etc. I added a 64 microsd card and the arch mouse and touch cover 2 all you need. I had an issue with the cover 2 not connecting and working all the time Microsoft stepped up sent a replacement after a 10 min chat I couldn't have asked for better support. Att doesn't sell windows 8 tablets anymore but the Surface 3 is coming out in a few months with a 64gb Att Lte version. Couldn't ask for a better work tablet/laptop anywhere on the market if your into windows 8 like I am

Purchased this device for work, our team is currently using them and we are very satisfied with the Surface. The 4G is especially helpful to have internet access out in the field.
The first device we purchased would not hold a charge so we needed to return it, however Best Buy accepted the return with no problems.

Nice toy, not very useful for serious computing. Google Chrome will not work on it. In order to get Google search must call for a google page. Defaults to Bing, a more or less useless search engine. $200 Keyboard stops working whenever it feels like it, even though it is completely attached. Would NEVER buy again and not recommend it to my friends.

Excellent product, well made device that shows marked improvement in speed and video/audio quality versus 1st generation Surface. The stereo sound is excellent. Keyboard is a must (integrates with nearly any keyboard but Surface Keyboard is amazing). I love that it already has drivers for wireless printing and every other device I own.

Just what the doctor ordered. I can use it anywhere. At home it is connected through my router.... on the road through AT&T. What more can you ask for. Costs so far are low and anything I need to do it does.

If you buy this product best buy did not tell me I had to update it or it would not work correctly. So I had to take it back get another one then someone tell me that is why it was not working. So there is my comment about that. Tell costumers that they should update it as soon as they get it. Because they average person would not know to do that. Other then that the product works great so far!!

I really like the idea of the surface and find it to be very convenient as a tablet with actual computer processing ability. Buyer beware that most programs and apps are not compatible with Windows 8 RT OS at this time.

Not quite enough for all business apps

While this device is very lightweight and runs MS Office, the Windows RT operating system falls short for all the business apps I need to use. Best Buy did a terrific job setting it up for me, but when I discovered that my company's proprietary software would not run on RT, I had to return the machine. Too bad. Otherwise it would be great for travel, for checking email, and running stripped down Office apps.

I choose a Windows tablet because I use Windows PCs and laptops. I didn't want to learn to use the iPad. There seem to be plenty of apps for my uses, and I'm slowly getting to know my way around the interface.
The battery life is good, and the keyboard/cover is a convenient accessory.

The Surface 2 is a pretty awesome machine! It works similarly to a laptop, except it's much lighter and more versatile. I would highly recommend using a wireless mouse as it makes word processing much easier!

Does all that I need it to do. But built in battery will not charge. Replaced two tablets and hoping the third will charge when plugged in.

If you want a tablet with the capabilities of a PC this is the computer for you. Not overly user friendly at first glance but once you get used to the layout, it is very quick to navigate your way through the different operation systems.
