Our quick take
Microsoft Surface RT - 4.5 / 5
Microsoft’s first
Design
Confusing name

The keyboard conundrum
Performance
Camera
Apps
Battery life
To recap
Think of the Surface as something of a leap of faith. It’s a great device now, and there’s more than enough here to make it worth buying, although we do think it’s expensive once you factor in a keyboard, and we urge you to get it with the keyboard, the Touch is just brilliant. The faith comes in the apps, which are currently less than ideal, we know Microsoft has a lot invested in this, so we hope things will improve soon. But for now, enjoy the current crop of apps and the amazing hardware, for a first attempt at a tablet, this is quite a triumph.
