Microsoft newly released tablet, Microsoft surface, has been released to retail stores last month. The hype for this tablet was very high as it would be a rival of Apple’s famous iPad. The review in Brian Bourne’s blog has given me a detailed and thorough explanation of the new tablet. Essentially Brian stated that the tablet was indeed worth the purchase as it replaced his laptop with programs such as Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. Microsoft’s new tablet however, currently only supports the Windows 8 RT version which is a Windows 8 software for tablet like devices. This has limitations as users cannot fully experience the new Windows 8 operating system. Also, the app store was very limited and as Brian stated, he raised his bar of expectations for future tablets. Windows Surface was not a disappointment for Brian but rather, a positive look at the future of future touch screen devices.

As for me, I would not purchase Windows Surface because only the RT version is available. Once the Surface Pro model comes out, I will check out new blogs and reviews on the new device and then consider buying this fantastic tablet.

With a detachable keyboard and a premium looking tablet, Surface has raised the bar for future tablet like devices.
