Like any other ARM-based tablet such as the iPad or Google’s Nexus 10 Android tablet, the Surface 2 instantly wakes from sleep, and boots from completely turned off in seconds. The only slight bit of lag I experienced in my testing was during app installs, which is a common issue with tablets, phones and computers based around the relatively low-power ARM processors like the Tegra 4. Web browsing, Office duties, listening to music, watching video and browsing pictures are all fluid and lag-free, even with multiple tabs and apps open simultaneously. Microsoft’s given the Surface 2 the latest 1.7GHz Nvidia Tegra 4 quad-core processor, which provides plenty of multi-tasking and general processing power to make sure Windows RT 8.1 runs smoothly.

Storage: 32/64GB SSD plus microSDXC slot.Processor: 1.7GHz quad-coreNvidia Tegra 4.The screen also has good viewing angles making sharing video with others easy, while decent blacks and colour range make said video look great. While on paper the screen is beaten by the iPad 4’s 9.7in 2048 x 1536 resolution “retina” display, photos look colourful and detailed while text appears pin sharp and easily legible on websites and ebooks – a trademark of Microsoft’s “ClearType” technology, which produces clear text even on relatively low-resolution screens and makes the text on the Surface 2 really shine. It is bright, clear and crisp thanks to its higher, 1920 x 1200 resolution. The 10.6in screen is the biggest visible change from the first generation Surface.

Stereo speakers are fitted in the left and right-hand sides of the tablet, which are loud and clear for a tablet, making watching TV or movies satisfying, even if they aren’t truly room filling. The back of the Surface 2 sports a kickstand, which supports two angles making using it on a desk or your lap a lot easier than the original Surface. Microsoft Surface 2 review - kickstand with two angles Photograph: Microsoft The Surface 2 is pretty thin for a 10in tablet, and is 0.5mm thinner than the iPad 4 at 8.9mm thick, meaning the Surface 2 will easily slip into most briefcases, messenger bags or backpacks.

Unlike the original Surface, and the Surface Pro line of full Windows 8 tablets, the Surface 2 is only available in silver, which is apparently the naked colour of the magnesium used to construct the tablet’s frame. The 16:9 formfactor, however, makes it easier to hold in portrait one-handed due to the Surface having a smaller moment pulling the tablet out of your hand. That solid, reassuring build means it is relatively heavy for a tablet slightly heavier than the 652g iPad 4 at 676g. There is no flex in the body, and the strong frame feels like you could use it as an offensive weapon, if a mugger came a knocking.


The Microsoft Surface 2 continues the very strong and solid, almost industrial build quality that defined the original Surface tablet. It is a 10.6in tablet with a sharp high-definition screen packed with Microsoft’s Windows 8-style modern user interface and comes equipped with a full Microsoft Office suite when work calls. The Microsoft Surface 2 is the company’s second iteration of its Windows RT tablet computer, which improves on its predecessor in almost every way.
