Excellent device. Great battery life and performance. Have played a few games on it to try it out and it works very well. Runs all apps I need. Allows me to write software on the road.

Like the size and features and is as powerful as a desk top. I looked at both the apple product and this surface pro and glad I chose surface pro

This is a great mixing of a tablet and a laptop. This is as powerful as a laptop with the convenience of a tablet. Better because you can download software not just use apps. I would highly recommend this for both personal nd business use.

The device has been good for traveling and doing school work. There have been some issues with Chrome and a few of my programs necessary for class not working with 8 or the HD screen.
Overall, I'm glad I have this tool for working. It is powerful and FAST.

This is a great balance between a laptop and a tablet. Much more portable than a laptop and much more powerful than most tablets. Very cool!

The Best Buy sales rep was very helpful and made what I thought would be a complicated process easy. Once I got it home, it took a few hours to get used to Windows 8 and what I can do with the Surface Pro 2, but I am now looking forward to using it with PowerPoint when I teach in a few weeks. I have been tempted to buy an iPad in the past but never understood what I would do with it. Now that I can run all of Windows, I can see my Surface Pro 2 it becoming much more than a laptop replacement.

good product but i've experienced too many problems with this purchase and it seems like these problems accrue allot after researching the product... for example screen turning off and refuses to come back on ... i personally experienced this problem and returned the device for a new one thinking all would be good however with the new one i had to deal with another common problem.. pluged in not charging ... after research i found a fix which only lasted a few seconds then 2 days after it was working fine .. so i returned it and got my money back... one too many problems in a short time to handle .... thats just me... did not have the patience ...one more thing if your trying to buy this product for apps dont do it just get a regular android tablet/kindle if you dont know by now microsoft apps lack quantity,popularity and variety....

Priced high, but new to market. Have difficulty finding accessories compatible, for example, head phones with microphone because Microsoft 8.1 does not recognize older items. The rest of the world has not updated their products to work with 8.1

This tablet is great! Now I don't have to take my heavy laptop to work. I just pop this tablet into the padded case I bought and head out. Even have a mobile wifi spot to access the MLS on the road. Works great!

Best all around tablet after months of research. Features that may seem gimmicky (type cover, kick stand) are much more useful than they appear. i would never buy a tablet that doesn't have waccom tech but you still pay $100 for it. sound devices (mic/speakers) are fantastic. MINI DISPLAY instead of mini hdmi provides support for higher resolution displays. Type cover is fantastic with this device as an all around mobile computer replacement (im typing this review on it). I mainly use it as an internet tablet and also to play certain games like killing floor, hearthstone, dota (games that my 780ti is too good for).

Overall I love that it runs Microsoft office. It's a tad bit heavier than I would like. Apps are extremely limited and you won't find some of tour usual apps no YouTube you get something like it. Games are also limited.

I really like my new Surface Pro 2. It took m a long time to do the research since I do not but a lot of new technology and wanted to get this right. I use my Surface Pro 2 for work and pleasure and find it very portable and convenient to use. I added Office and needed to learn the new Windows so still stumble through some programs but that is me not the computer. It is so convenient to use a thumb drive to transfer files and be able to create new documents in any format on the run. I love the camera and the sound is adequate for my needs. I don't like the way the charging cord attaches to the computer-it is hard to get it to fit just right in there and then is easily knocked away. But all in all I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it .

My first Windows 8 experience and I was impressed. It works well as a tablet and a computer. I thought I was getting a 200GB Skydrive account but have yet to find that setting. The 128GB internal harddrive is halfway filled up all ready.
You do not have to take it out of the bag when you go through airport security!

I was looking for a powerful tablet - and knew I'd have a program here or there that I had to install. I gave the Surface Pro 2 a chance and absolutely loved it. Love the form factor, the power, the features, and I'm even getting used to the tiles and Windows 8. The problem here is that it's $1000 when you get done with the keyboard and everything and that's just too expensive.
I'd recommend it, but I also would tell them to look closely at other knock off brands from Asus, Dell and others.
