The Surface RT comes loaded with windows 8 RT which is sort of a barebones version of windows 8. The biggest (and really only) setback that I found with windows 8 RT is that you are stuck with Internet Explorer. That means no Chrome and no Firefox. You also can't upgrade to Windows 10 either. It does come with Word, Excel, and Powerpoint already preloaded which would normally cost around $100.
The screen size is rather small for someone so used to using full size laptops for most of my life but I have definitely gotten used to the screen size and now it is not an issue at all. The processor is decent. Can't really complain too much given the price tag. You can easily watch Netflix and Youtube as well as check email. I never tried running any games on it but certainly would recommend getting a different device if that is your purpose. The USB port is very useful and honestly is what sets this device apart from other similarly priced devices. You'll be surprised how thin this device is. It is very easy to carry around. Perfect portability. Battery life is great. Usually would get around 7-9 hours of solid use, 4-5 if all I was doing was watching Netflix or Youtube.
I have since upgraded to the surface Pro 2 due to the desire for a faster processor and full on Windows 8 (now upgraded to Windows 10) but would recommend the Surface RT for anyone who want a very capable device but doesn't want to shell out $500 and up for the newest iterations of the Surface.
I read quite a few reviews prior to purchasing this tablet, to be sure that I would be satisfied. Having used the Apple/iPad, Android, and Windows formats, I find the Windows 8 the easiest to use. I noticed that many of the negative reviews complained about the Windows RT/8 format, but once I both updated the device and upgraded to Windows 8.1, the Surface becomes far easier to use than either the Android or the Apple formats. One of the features I like is that I have easy access to all the apps I want quick access to on the main screen, and the lesser used apps I can move to the "secondary" screen, which is easily accessible. I also noticed complaints about not being able to use programs. But, just like any other tablet, Android of Apple, it is made for only apps. That said, the Surface comes with a recent version of Microsoft Office, which the iPad only offered poor imitations of.
My only disappointment was the charger. I will say that I have a hard time understanding why some people had such difficulty with the fit, as I am no tech wiz, and had it connected and charging on about three seconds. My disappointment comes from Microsoft using some odd connector, rather than a micro USB like most devices.
All in all, this is a great tablet. If you're looking for a "tablet" that runs programs, like a laptop, then I'd say purchase a Surface Pro. But, you're just looking for a user friendly, functional tablet, the Surface works great, especially for the price.
