The Surface is absolutely perfect for a large swath of the population. If you want something ultra-light for reading books, don’t buy this. If you need lots and lots of apps right this instant, don’t buy this. For everyone else, you shouldn’t even consider getting any other tablet before trying the Surface for an hour. There’s no need to expound on each detail, as it’s been covered to death.it MUST be the Touch Cover. In my opinion, it defines the Surface RT. The Type cover will undoubtedly be superior to the Touch for typing. But there’s a synergy between Surface RT and Touch that isn’t there with Type. The resulting size and feel is perfect.I have used a Windows Phone since its launch as well, so this tablet works well in that environment and eco-system.
