Product Details

Who says pretty can't be practical? It's time for a tablet that's more than meets the eye!

VaporMg™ casing

Made with VaporMg, Surface is precision crafted to be tough yet elegant, without excessive bulk. At less than 1.5 pounds, with a watch-like finish that’s incredibly smooth, and durable, Surface is a delight to hold and touch.

Integrated Kickstand

Integrated Kickstand provides uncompromised support and flexibility. Flip out the Kickstand for hands-free entertainment. Whether you’re watching a movie, or shooting video, Surface stands on its own.

Ports and Connectivity

Bring your entire media collection with you wherever you go. A microSDXC card slot lets you add up to 64 GB of extra storage. Show off everything on the big screen using the HD video out port. Full-size USB port and Bluetooth 4.0 provide clutter-free connections with wireless mice and headsets. Dual 2x2 MIMO antennas provide reliable internet connectivity.

Touch Cover

The cover you can type on. Touch Cover clicks in to Surface in an instant, and offers a sleek, spill-resistant exterior for working – no matter where you find yourself. When folded back, Touch Cover automatically disables keystrokes for a full touchscreen experience; when closed, it turns off your display. Give Surface your personal touch with a color that matches your style.

Windows RT and Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 RT

Work anywhere, anytime with Windows RT and Office 2013 RT2. Keep tabs on news, friends, and entertainment with pre-loaded Microsoft apps. Visit the Windows Store3 to discover more apps and games.

Front and rear-facing 720p HD video cameras

Capture life from all sides with LifeCam. The rear camera is angled to shoot straight ahead when the Kickstand is flipped out. The Kickstand also enables hands-free Skype video chat or recording. Custom lens design and an ambient light sensor maximize light intake while providing sharp focus so you'll never miss a shot.

Don't let all the biased reviews scare you. After you get it set up and get your email and contacts going, this thing is great. Runs smooth and the Live tiles are cool. App selection in the Windows Store is growing by leaps and bounds in the store but we need more quality apps, which will come. I have about 90% of all the apps I previously used on android, but want a few more that I hear are in development. I like that I have the full office suite, like Word, but also have the backend to connect to my home network and print to network printers easily. What is also great is the internet browser is very capable and is not a toy browser - I can go to all my work sites with no issues. Whether Apple lovers like it or not, MS has created something unique and refreshing that is going to force them to rethink their future models. My recommendation is buy one and give it a try for a week, and then make your decision, as it is a bit different in the way it does things, but is logical when you think about it.

The build quality is very good, but the Windows 8 RT is poor. Very little customization, and no useful software at the Windows Store. At this time you can't even change the Internet Explorer to another browser.(Windows will not let you.) It's not even a good toy. Wait for the Pro version of Surface. I wish I could return the unit but I kept it too long. I will end up giving it away.

    Comments about Surface RT with Black Touch Cover, 64GB:

    When I first got the RT I went through several phases of love/hate. I'm a fan of windows but this was my first time using the new start menu interface and I had trouble adapting. But I've really learned to love this thing. It runs all day, is fast, and does everything I need it to do. Also, you can change the on screen keyboard to a real keyboard layout which is really nice for the work I do. It is important to run the windows and store updates as soon as you can. They are set to automatically run but you don't want to wait as they fix many minor issues which could frustrate you quite a bit.

      I am finishing up a Master's degree and about to begin a PhD and wanted a tablet that I could do homework on and this fits the bill. With the full version of Microsoft Office, it is a mini computer and the touch screen is a bonus when working in documents. I love it!
