Item took a little longer to arrive but it was worth it.The unit is in good condition however the keyboard is slightly scratched due to wear and tear. Screen got a small scratch near the camera but it’s negligible. over all Good unit

I bought this product for uni. I love windows 8 and I wanted a touch screen windows 8 laptop, but they were simply too expensive. It does what I want it to do absolutely beautifully and mine was a bargain. It came with Office RT, so I didn't have to pay anything more. There's nothing I dislike about my surface (which I have given an original nickname, "Mr. Surface") other than the touch cover. It took a bit to adjust to it, and it's difficult to type with on solid surfaces (like the lecture room tables). I'm going to buy a type cover which will fix this.
The USB socket makes it the best tablet ever. I needed to use USB for various applications and so far no one had this facility. The screen touch system is fabulous though it needs some learning but once used to it it is great.
Great tablet! Clear graphics, quick processor easy to use and handle. Has a number of great features, micro hdmi output, the magnetised keyboard, great cameras and speakers. Only down side is windows rt (the OS) is limited with applications from the store. Microsoft has taken after apple with restrictive policies on software development only allowing Microsoft created or approved apps, however they have not been in the market long enough to approve or make more interesting or better functioning apps, they also do not have apps from competing companies e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Google drive, many other smaller popular apps. Also, apps that would replace a website i.e. Facebook, Wikipedia, Google search, function poorly and are usually slower than using internet explorer itself (yes, seriously, IE is faster than something). There is no sim input for mobile internet access either. As I simply needed this for the internet and Microsoft office for education, this is a great tablet for that, it would also be great for tablet gaming! If I could put an android OS on this thing it would be the perfect.Read full review
this tablet has some really nice features and some really annoying features. If you want a good platform to use gmail or google calendar this is not your machine. Out of all the aps that this lacks vs the apple store or google play this annoys me the most. Lack of a dedicated sim card port for mobile data annoys me less because I use it primarily in wifi area's and if I don't have access to wifi I tether it to my phone which works well enough for my purposes. I like that it has a full size USB port and Micro hdmi, and the word and excel programs work pretty well as well. build quality is good and I really like the split screen capability. I should say that it also integrates really well with facebook and if you have a windows 8 PC it will match backgrounds and it matches your loginscreen and profile picture to facebook which I kinda like, but probably doesn't matter in the long run.Read full review
