    After owning an iPad 2, we were looking for something different. Rather than investing in the Pro 2, we bought this for our Teenager for college. So far it has provided what he needs for school so now we are looking at getting the Pro 2 since its a full version of Windows 8

    I thought for a long time whether I really needed this tablet. I already have a PC and a Kindle Fire. I am very happy I went ahead and purchased the Surface. It is fun and easy to use.

    Decided on the Surface rather then an Ipad. Tablet works really well and helps that my computer also uses Windows 8. Still learning so will post another review after another month.

    This is a great product for the money. The stying is exceptional and the giving the free keyboard with purchase was a great incentive!

    Purchased this for $199 at Thanksgiving. Can't beat the price. Hands down great upgrade over my android tablet. For me, lack of apps was overblown. So far any app I couldn't get I've been able to run with IE. Complete Office suite, including Outlook icing on the cake.

    I bought the surface for my daughter and I have to say it was the best decision I made. Compared to other tablets this one is perfect for a student. My daughter is able to work on her homework and presentations thanks to preinstalled software like word and powerpoint.

    I got it two weeks ago for $200. So far there is no issue. I like it more than my ipad. ipad is great too; but it is not convenient as it doesn't have USB port and micro SD card.

    Bought it for wife for Christmas . Loved the IPad and wanted easier internet access and functions . Windows 8 is rather tedious - hard to navigate around in regular keypad mode.

    The Surface RT is the best tablet out there that is strictly a tablet. It's only enemy is actually the Surface Pro. The pro has a stylus that you can write with using OneNote and it is incredibly accurate. The RT does not sport that screen so it cannot be that good and for that, I turned it in for a Surface Pro. Saying that, the RT is still the most elaborate tablet that can do business and entertainment immaculately.

    I have enjoyed this tablet. With the touch cover typing is easy. I have prepared PowerPoint presentations, documents, and sent photos taken with the camera. I have checked and sent emails, ordered Christmas gifts and tracked them, and played games or read books.

    The tablet is perfect if you need Microsoft Office to do basic work/school stuff, else there's nothing really good with this tablet.
