First of all I would like to start off by saying that I bought a broken model of my Surface 2 on purpose. In no way has this affected my views OR usability of the product at all. |

The specs aside, this is a great device for anyone that wants to do more at school (like me) or at work. With Windows 8.1 RT you will be relying on the windows app store for your needs seeing as this device doesn't support (.exe) programs. Although the Surface 2 does come with Microsoft Office 2013 pre-installed so you can do more, unlike the Surface Pro 2.
You have your choice of getting the touch cover 2 or the type cover 2, or you could use the USB 3.0 port and hook up a number of peripherals. With the mini HDMI out you can extend your productivity to another screen!
Let's talk about pricing and availability! You can pick up the Surface 2 by Microsoft at the following Stores, to see it just click the store name! (prices may change)
