Overall Score: 3.6/5
Review Overview:
The Microsoft Surface 2 is a versatile tablet that aims to replace your laptop with its advanced features and powerful performance. It's a solid device that offers considerable improvements over its predecessor, including a better display, improved performance, and longer battery life. However, its high price point and mediocre camera could be a turn-off for some potential buyers.
Price: 3/5
The Surface 2 comes at a high price point, which may not be affordable to everyone. For its price, it offers impressive features and high performance, but the value for money may not be as high as other tablets on the market.
Camera: 3/5
The Surface 2’s 5MP rear camera and 3.5MP front camera leave something to be desired. While it's adequate for video calls and casual photography, it's not at par with the high-quality cameras found on many other tablets. If you are a photography enthusiast, you might find the camera quality a bit disappointing.
Power: 4.5/5
Powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor, the Surface 2 delivers high-speed performance that makes multitasking a breeze. Whether you're running multiple apps, streaming videos, or playing games, you can expect smooth and lag-free operation.
