Processing: is great, feels high-quality and well. The Kickstand is super convenient and the material is very robust. I have not felt that I quickly get scratches as on the silver iPad back ...
Accessories or connections: unlike any Apple products or many Android devices, the Surface a USB port that has I can a printer, external hard drive, mouse, keyboard, etc. Connecting. So I can, for example, my Android invite or manage my data of mobile phone on the Surface. Although the 32GB version is not as great as much for the operating system is on it, you can expand the memory with a Mirco SD. (But it is also completely installed Office which certainly takes a few GB). The biggest selling point, however, is the keyboard which is in my eyes in the cover. Genial idea! Super and implemented with the Type keyboard can also write longer texts easily.
Operating System: Windows 8 or 8.1 is the beginning without question of getting used to. On closer examination, however, really a few days with the system, then you realize that it actually has a very good service. If one wants close an app / program, you can sweep your finger from the top of the screen down. If you want to change the app, you can sweep from the left side in the middle. I use the tablet for example in the university and I love the function of Windows that you can let 2 apps run simultaneously and share the screen - the left and right Word PowerPoint on the screen. And of all the biggest pluses in Surface RT is that supports Flash Surface ie they can each watch Internet page correctly and so for example on soutpark.de a follow online broadcast on Internet Explorer, which goes so far I do not know when Apple or Android ,
Scope of supply: the purchase of the Surface RT you get a complete Office package that this Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook are installed on the device. We are talking about programs Hammer. This is a unique selling point, which available at no iPad or Android be bought --or expensive müssen--
Apps: ok here I give the critics right, there are fewer apps than Android or iOS. But, do it honestly? Like many of the apps in the AppStore at Apple or Google are just garbage? Let them lie to me, but I would say 90 percent? Then there is just less apps in Windows 8, but also less waste. I want to know not only how many apps exist for the flashlight in Android or Apple, which are littered with advertising. There is then perhaps not for every newspaper an app, but you can also go to the correct website of the newspaper and no mobile version
Price: The regular price is I think currently stands at 370. I find that very justified. An iPad costs about 100 more and then only 16 GB and is expandable and has a smaller display. Especially since the price the Surface Office is.
Conclusion I find the Surface and Windows 8 in particular can be made much worse than they are. There is no tablet on the functions which the Surface comes nearly ran, without which one buys expensive accessories as do Apple a Speichervedopplung 100 (ne the Surface Micrso SD 15). The workmanship is very good, the app selection is for me well, clearly there are fewer apps and I am missing some example from my bank. But one should not forget Windows 8 there for over a year. Apple s going on and since Android 4? Years.
