    Weight is light for carrying around, fit in the bag just like a small binder, excel, word, ppt are perfect for school. I got RT 32G for 199 which is really really really good deal.

    I use this tablet primarily for school and it has been nothing short of spectacular. With the hard keyboard it functions just like a laptop so writing papers and taking notes are very easy. The keyboard snaps off making it a standard tablet. The screen resolution is great and the touch screen is very responsive. Great product

    I like the touch screen aspect of the tablet with the option of using a keyboard. While I'm not a tech guru, I'm still fairly good with the basics of technology BUT my 7 year old had to show me how to use some of the features. Once I figured out the small things, it works great for me!

    I was hesitant to purchase a surface with all of the negative publicly that has come out, but boy I m glad I did. Not sure how Microsoft could have fumbled the marketing for this excellent tablet. It runs windows RT 8.1 but does almost everything surface pro does. I actually like this better than my iPad. It was so easy to set up and runs quite fast. Don't believe the MS haters - this is a great device!

    Easy to setup and my daughter loves it! I especially like that you can use Word and Excel. I bought the Surface in leu of of getting her another laptop. Also, have the keyboard and she has not had any problems with anything.

    I chose this over the Surface Pro because I wanted a tablet, not an ultrabook. And I got that. I compared it to an IPad and it is definitely on par with it. When it comes to color/video quality, it is more superior compare to the Ipad. Though it lags a little sometimes.

    This is perfect for my fiance, who is finishing up her degree online. She liked my iPad, but I would have had to purchase an office suite, etc. to make it work, and the product is more expensive to begin with. Having IE on the tablet made a difference as well, as the online classes seem to work better in it (we tested with both IE and Safari and the rending in Safari doesn't look proper). I was worried that not being able to install full Windows applications as on the Pro version of the device would be a hindrance, but hasn't caused any issues (yet).

    I was not sure about the Surface. I have been an Apple follower for years but I decided recently to branch out and I am glad I did. The Surface has surpassed any expectation. I find my self taking it everywhere. I purchased primarily for business so I dont care about the small number of apps. I just recently paired up the Type keyboard and the experience has gotten even better. I definitely recommend.

    Don't like Windows 8. Ability to run Windows 7 would be nice. With that said, I do like the size and features of this tablet. The available keyboard is nice. I would recommend this to anyone willing to learn to use Windows 8.

    I love my Surface RT. I take it everywhere , I can surf the net, check what my friends and family are up to. I do my homework on MS office Excel and save to the Sky Drive. I use Skype to talk to family. It has it all I need.

    I have barely used my laptop since purchasing. Sure it took me a little while to get used to. But now it is so second nature. I do everything on it that I used to do on my laptop. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a laptop substitute for meetings or travel.

    Great tablet that I can easily transport and carry around college. The ease of use is great. My only problem is the limited apps in the windows store. Otherwise its a great tablet good storage and capability of adding more is easy. With my student discount the cost was affordable for a college student on a budget.

    Nice laptop. Microsoft office already included. Only downside is I have to sign up to Xbox in order to download the apps. (don't understand that). Have to pay for some. Tech at the store said I don't have to upload internet security. It was already included, which was good.
