Really? More or less. - Let me start by saying this is a wonderful little device. That however, is contingent on you knowing what you're buying, which for my review, needs some context. Let me say this though: if all you want to do is listen to music, watch videos, use internet and use MS Office, there is no better machine than this. For context, I bought a Surface RT, the 1st gen (I'll call it S1 from now on), when they were mega cheap. Functionally it's exactly the same as Surface 2, just noticeably slower. The screen was fine, speakers were fine, performance was acceptable, battery life was great, touch keyboard was... passable. That was 2013. Now in fall 2014 the Surface 2 just got a %20 price cut which, to my eyes, made it competitively priced. So, what's changed from the Surface RT? The screen is much better, I didn't think 1080p would be that noticeable on such a small screen but it's certainly clearer. The fact that it's no longer the PLS screen from the S1 but it's now an IPS is quite noticeable to my eyes as the colors are super rich on the S2. The speakers are way, way better. I can't really explain this other than the fact that it sounds "fuller" as in with more volume, more 3D like, more real, less flat. It's thinner (not by much) and lighter (somewhat noticeable) than S1. I got a type cover, the one with actual clicky keys, which is a million times better than the touch cover if you write a lot like I do. If you don't, you can get by with the touch cover, but the type doesn't really add much thickness to the whole thing and it's way, way more useful and functional. So, the S2 is just a much better S1 in all respects. The end question is the same that applied to S1: is this device right for you? Well as I said in the beginning, if you want this thing to listen to music, watch videos, use internet and use MS Office - write on Word, calculate spreadsheets on Excel and do Powerpoint presentations - then this machine is perfect. I teach at a public state university and it's all I use to teach, grade, present and do my own research when I'm at work. If you want any desktop apps (Photoshop, Acrobat, etc) then you need an actual full PC, not the tablet hybrid that is the non-pro Surface. I have a great desktop PC at home so the Surface was enough for me, if you don't have a powerful PC at home you may be better served by the Surface Pro than just the Surface. Also, keep in mind that come Spring 2015 Microsoft will be combining Windows versions into a hybrid that adapts to whatever screen/hardware combination it's installed on, so things will change. The version of Office on the Surface will undoubtedly change to their new, as yet unrevealed mobile version (kind of like Office for iPad but more powerful) since they will eliminate the desktop on the Surface (you don't really need it right now, it doesn't make much sense, that's why it's going away). So I guess this is another way to look at it: if all the Windows Store apps work for you, you're fine with the Surface, but if you'll require desktop apps in the future, you should get a Surface Pro. Remember though, even though Office is a desktop app right now it's being ported to a Windows Store app with the same functionality, just not requiring a desktop (and not having a desktop whould improve battery life a LOT too). So that's my review. Excellent machine if it fits your needs. Make sure you know what you're buying. This is a tablet just like the iPad and allows some serious work with Office. This is not a laptop, so don't expect to use desktop apps (except Office). Just like you don't buy an iPad to run Mac programs, you don't buy a Surface to use desktop apps. For that, there's a Surface Pro. Review: Great Tablet - I bought the Microsoft Surface 2 (32 GB) in August 2015. Before buying this tablet I did some research on it and talked to a friend who owns this tablet. From what I found out, I decided it would be a tablet worth buying. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and would give it a four star rating. I would definitely recommend it to others, especially college students because it is great for note-taking and simple computer uses. Through using this tablet for a couple months I have found many aspects that I like and a few that I am unhappy with. Features I like: 1. The tablet has a wide screen and is light weight. It also includes a kickstand that makes it easier for viewing and includes both portrait and landscape views. 2. Microsoft Office bundle (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access, and OneNote) is already installed on the tablet, so there was no need to purchase this separately. 3. It was fairly priced and was also delivered on time. 4. A USB port can be found on the tablet, which is one feature not included on the iPad. This is great to plug a mouse or keyboard into. 5. The battery life is long lasting. 6. There is a handwriting recognition feature that allows you to use a finger or a stylus. It can read both block and cursive writing. While I found this table to be mostly what I was looking for, I discovered some aspects that I do not like or that I think could be improved. Things I do not like: 1. This tablet is Windows RT, which is fairly limited. It restricts you from downloading certain apps like Google Chrome or Spotify. 2. Keyboard and other accessories are not included with the tablet. 3. The storage is limited but, additional storage is available for purchase. One suggestion I have would be to purchase a keyboard along with the tablet. A keyboard makes the tablet more usable and more like a computer. I purchased the Microsoft Surface type cover 2, which was decently priced and works very well. Overall this tablet was worth the purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a tablet. ## Features - NVIDIA Tegra 4, 2Gb System Memory 32GB Hard Drive - SD Card Slot, 1 x USB 3.0, HDMI Output, Windows RT 8.1, Touchscreen, Internal Speakers - 10.6" High-definition widescreen 5-point multitouch with ClearType technology (1920 x 1080) - Front Facing 2.5MP camera, Rear Facing 5.0MP Camera ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FF6J532 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 | | Battery Average Life | 8 Hours | | Battery Capacity | 40 Watt Hours | | Battery Cell Type | Lithium Ion | | Battery Power | 10 Hours | | Brand | Microsoft | | Camera Description | Front, Rear | | Cellular Technology | 4G | | Color | Magnesium | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (1,160) | | Display Type | LCD | | Frame Rate | 30 FPS | | Front Photo Sensor Resolution | 2.5 MP | | Generation | 4th Generation | | Hardware Interface | HDMI, Mini-DisplayPort, Sim Card, USB 2.0, USB 3.0 | | Headphones Jack | Yes | | Human-Interface Input | Touchscreen | | Item Weight | 1.4 Pounds | | Lithium-Battery Energy Content | 40 Watt Hours | | Manufacturer | Microsoft Surface | | Memory Slots Available | 1 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 64 GB | | Model Name | Surface 2 | | Model Number | P3W-00001 | | Model Year | 2014 | | Native Resolution | 1920x1080 | | Number of Rear Facing Cameras | 1 | | Operating System | Windows 8.1 RT | | Photo Sensor Resolution | 2 MP | | Processor Brand | NVIDIA | | Processor Description | Intel, NVIDIA Tegra | | RAM Memory Installed | 2 GB | | Rear Facing Camera Photo Sensor Resolution | 5 MP | | Screen Size | 10.6 Inches | | Sensor Type | Ambient Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope | | Speaker Description | Stereo speakers with Dolby sound | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | Supported Audio Format | MP3, WAV, AAC | | Total Usb Ports | 1 | | UPC | 602963000006 885370620467 | | Video Capture Resolution | FHD 1080p | | Video Processor | Nvidia | | Wireless Compability | 802.11abg, Bluetooth | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Microsoft - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 64 GB - **Model Name:** Surface 2 - **Operating System:** Windows 8.1 RT - **Screen Size:** 10.6 Inches ## Images ![Microsoft Surface 2 (32 GB) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zb5JaeNUL.jpg) ![Microsoft Surface 2 (32 GB) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31gVSML59cL.jpg) ![Microsoft Surface 2 (32 GB) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21qzI1OCAjL.jpg) ![Microsoft Surface 2 (32 GB) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41phqM+rMkL.jpg) ![Microsoft Surface 2 (32 GB) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/11YIEQjbSWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it come with a keyboard to type on?** A: Yes it does. If you go to the search window and type in On screen keyboard up will come a keyboard and you use the pointer to type. It may show in the wrong place on screen but just drag it down to area so not to cover your area typing. **Q: Is the Microsoft Suface 3 WiFi? Not the Pro 3, just the 3** A: Yes it is WiFi **Q: Is MS Office (Outlook, Word, and Access) Permanently free? In other words, is there a yearly fee for MS office as with the IPAD or other tablets?** A: Windows RT includes Office tools Word, Powerpoint, Excel, One Note. Access is NOT in the package. The tools are build into RT and there is no annual fee like there is with Office 365 on a Surface Pro 2 or 3. **Q: Does the surface support nook?** A: One answer Yes, one answer No . So what is the correct answer for "can this tablet support Nook's apps and Nook reader" ??? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The one device for everything in your life". Really?

Just wanted a good mail client (has Outlook 2013 installed by default as well as the rest of the MS Office suite) and a good touch screen browser Mobile IE (I hate MS Edge). For a used item it arrived in immaculate condition with 64GB storage and LTE functionality as an added bonus. Item is well built with a gorgeous display. The only big issue I found is with Windows Updates - it will not find any updates at all unless you download and manually install two packages first. All explained in XDA Developers forum thread: [GUIDE] [SOLUTION] Windows update stuck at "Checking updates...". After doing so it found over 220 updates and has been fine with updates since. ## Frequently Bought Together - Microsoft Surface 2 (32 GB) - Fintie Hard Case for 13 Inch Microsoft Surface Pro 11 / Pro 10 / Pro 9 - Shockproof Folio Rugged Cover with Clear Transparent Back Shell Compatible with Type Cover Keyboard, Black - SPARIN [2 Pack] Screen Protector Compatible with Microsoft Surface Go 4/Surface Go 3/Surface Go 2/Surface Go (2021/2020) 10.5 Inch, Tempered Glass, High Responsive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1134027-microsoft-surface-2-32-gb](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1134027-microsoft-surface-2-32-gb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
