Manual of product Surface RT
Editorial note
The Microsoft Surface RT is a tablet that stands out for its lightweight and compact design, weighing only 680 g, making it very easy to carry and use on a daily basis. Its 10.6-inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels offers a pleasant and immersive visual experience, ideal for browsing and watching content. In terms of performance, the Surface RT delivers acceptable results for everyday tasks thanks to its NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor. However, the RAM of only 2 GB may limit multitasking and make using multiple applications simultaneously less smooth. Additionally, the internal storage capacity of 32 GB may prove insufficient for users needing to store numerous files and applications. The battery life is a strong point of this device, allowing up to 8 hours of use, which is ideal for a workday without having to recharge frequently. Despite this, the Windows RT operating system has certain limitations, notably the inability to access some applications available on the full versions of Windows. Finally, although the tablet offers interesting features like Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity and a working environment with Microsoft Office, the lack of an HDMI port and built-in GPS may disappoint some users. Overall, the Surface RT represents good value for those looking for a lightweight and efficient tablet, but it may not satisfy users with more advanced needs in terms of storage and connectivity.Score details
