  • Lisa Gade reviews the Microsoft Surface RT Windows 8 RT tablet. This is a 10.6" tablet with a 1366 x 768 Gorilla Glass 2 IPS touchscreen. It runs on the quad core NVidia Tegra 3 T30, just like some popular 10.1" Android tablets and it has 2 gigs of RAM and 32 or 64 gigs of flash storage. The Surface RT has 1 USB 2.0 port, micro HDMI and a 3.5mm audio jack. It has dual band WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and front/rear 720p cameras. The optional touch cover is 3mm thin and doubles as a display cover. The tablet runs Windows 8 apps from the app store but not Windows 7 3rd party applications like Adobe Creative Suite or Corel Paint. It has the core Windows 7 apps like MS Paint, calculator and administrative tools. Read our full written review here: www.mobiletechreview.com/table... .

    Just let you know if you buy this for games , you would receive lags and low resolution
    And you can even install any browser beside IE

    I bought this for school, i ended up returning it because I couldn't get use to the keyboard. I made so many mistakes when taking notes, and typing out papers felt forced. Not to mention this thing runs slow and lags a lot.
    I probably would have been a lot happier with the pro version and force my self to get use to the keyboard, but in the end i returned it, paid a little extra, and bought an older macbook air.
    Soon I'll be trading in the 2010's macbook air and buying the i5 surface pro 3

    Amazing review, you know exactly what you're talking about. This review solidified my resolve to get this tablet. This device caught my eye at best buy about a month ago. Out of all the other computers this tablet(which I initially thought was a laptop) was what stood out to me. Overall to me a very sexy and well made device and something I think more tablets should try and replicate.

    i just bought one for only PHP11,00 ($255). this is sooooo good as sustitute of my laptop/desktop if im on travel. i dont need a lot of applications for this because everything for a portable device is already installed here. running heavy games like asphalt 8 is superbly smooth. you can also multi-task a lot of applications and switch in just one swipe. it has also a genuine microsoft office, updates all the time to secure stability. booting is also one good point, boot time is less than a minute. usb functionality is also superb, i have a 2TB external drive and it can read all the staff in just seconds. i love this thing. those having negative comments regarding this one are those who expects to buy this thing but expecting to have a macbook-like performance. this is a portable device. not a pro but it can do more and like to do best based on the current price. good job! no regrets at all.

    You can buy it bundled with the touch cover or you can buy the cover and tablet separately (you save $20 buying the bundle but you can't choose a color- it's only bundled with the black keyboard).

    Yes, Intel Core i tablets and laptops generally run the ARM version of apps as well. It's up to the developer, but I haven't seen an ARM-only app from a 3rd party developer yet.

    The OS, included apps and recovery partition all use a chunk of space, that's right. But RT apps from the MS Store are a lot smaller than Windows 7 apps, so you may not need as much space as you think.

  • @kreiger

    What a great review! It's another reminder of why I subscribe to your channel. Reviewers too often behave like the iPad is the standard by which all competing devices must be measured. I really appreciate your recognition that apples are not the standard for oranges and bananas. It seems like I can always can count on a thorough Mobile Tech Review. Thanks again Lisa!

    For Black Friday, Staples had the Surface RT with the keyboard for $250. Went down to pick one up but as usual they only had about 5 on had and were not giving out rain checks. Ended up getting it at Best Buy for $199 w/o the keyboard. They had plenty on hand. Will be watching videos to see how to get the most out of it. Best buy also had 32GB micro sd card for 17.99 and 64 GB micro sd card for 34.99.

    Hey Lisa, love your reviews. Now my problem is, Yoga or Surface pro? I like both hardware, I prefer the surface design and portability. But the Yoga does have a nice design as well and it has a full keyboard. I think I will decide when the battery life will be compared. Putting aside the RT version of the Surface, which one did you prefer?

    Great review. One question. When you purchase apps....do you know if you have to purchase the same app again? For instance you buy a app on a windows 8 pc and then get a windows8 rt tablet...do you have to buy that app again or will it just go with you as long as your logging in with your live/hotmail account? I hope the question made sense :) Thanks!!!

I highly reccommend this format and the Pro version of the OS. The MS one will be a little lighter, have the KB flap and have a smaller screen - I'm sure it'll be great.
