What's our thoughts on the Microsoft Surface RT?
Overall Score: 3.2/5
RefurbStore's independent expert review
Overall Score: 3.2/5
The Microsoft Surface RT is a significant product in the tablet market. It offers an innovative design with its built-in kickstand and optional Type Cover keyboard. The Surface RT uses the Windows RT operating system, which runs smoothly and boasts Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT. However, the limited app selection on the Windows store and the underpowered Tegra 3 processor may disappoint some users.
Price: 3.5/5
The Surface RT, considering its build quality and features, is reasonably priced. However, it's still a significant investment, especially when you factor in the additional cost of the Type Cover keyboard.
Camera: 3/5
The Surface RT is equipped with two 720p HD cameras, front and rear-facing. While they're adequate for video conferencing, the quality is not stellar for taking photos or videos, especially in low light conditions.
Power: 2.5/5
The Tegra 3 processor under the hood of the Surface RT struggles a bit when it comes to intensive tasks. It's fine for basic productivity tasks and web browsing, but it's not suited for heavy gaming or running multiple taxing apps simultaneously.
