neither the Surface Go 2 nor Surface Pro 7 include their Type Cover keyboard or Surface Pen
Pro 2 is still a tricky mix of tablet and laptop
the pen still attaches to the power connector
it s still tricky to attach on the steeply angled edge
it s not likely to solve the problems with Windows on Arm
The guy was a bit rude
MS ecosystem is not as developed as Android or Apple
both are hobbled by the application situation in the Windows Store
first-party accessories to be really expensive
It s not expensive for the actual quality of the hardware
beats the iPad in every single way
a MBP does not have a touch screen
the Windows operating system is built with small windows and buttons
horrendous trackpad and a myriad of performance and
the Surface Pro 2 is incomplete without a fully working mouse
the touchpad is trickier to use than it should be
barely half as fast as the Surface Pro 2
the small touchpad is tricky to master
be leaving a half hour of battery life on the table by default
Surface Pro 2 still suffers from something of an identity crisis
the Pro model is once again only available in black
dedicated Surface Pro dock was sorely missing from the original Surface launch
there is a silver lining
doesn t come in the box with the Surface Pro 2
The stylus also cannot activate the Windows button below the screen
the vertical bars separating each app on the screen
lack of a suitable high-quality scaling system within Windows
Kickstand still digs into your legs
is included in the cost of a Surface Pro 2
new platform that lacked the support of decades of Windows applications
the more expensive models
didn't have the same keyboard or in-lap experience as
trackpad disappearing issues on Surface Pro 2
The case cannot be opened by the user
The digitizer is not only a great unique selling point
all frame rates drop considerably
only as long as the power adapter is connected
insufficient color space coverage
The manufacturer lost a significant sum of money on unsold units
rear-facing camera appeared noticeably fuzzy
marred by a dismally short battery life
lacks discrete keys and relies instead on sensors
colors taking on a distinct yellow tinge
front-facing camera proved just as grainy
