Back in October Microsoft released a new product from its vast variety of products. The Microsoft Surface was introduced to world combining lap top technologies with tablet features. The revise seem to be very positive, but that’s from the people who have purchased, which many have not.
The Surface has is a really nice product. It’s fast, reliable and has the functionality of 2 separate devices. The Surface offers the touch screen, which has been getting great reviews by users. The ability to type and create power points, word documents, etc. has thrilled many people familiar with the windows platform. Microsoft Surface is very portable and comfortable to use in your lap.
The new and improved Windows 8 platform is very desirable, but reviewers say it takes a bit getting used to. Windows completely revamped itself making this a hot ticket item.

The Surface was originally just in Microsoft store or online for customers. Since they aren’t selling like they predicted ( 2 million before Jan 1) they are beginning to offer the surface into retail stores. The prices are a bit steep but they are worth the money that you pay for them. They do not offer a whole lot of apps like iPad or tablets , but Windows is working on getting more available.
