And now...? 2520 or Surface 2

[Fausto Felix]

Processor with 500 mhz more ...! 4 g and NFC.

We need comparative

The lack of SDHC expansion is a deal-breaker for me.

Lumia 2520 has a microsd slot...

4G - NFC - GPS...etc.

I think microsoft has reason to be worried about the nokia tablet. Its a beutiful iconic lumia design, has a portable formfactor and the specs are more featured packed than the surface 1 or 2. Hell, I don't even use the desktop much on my surface pro, so I can probably live with the "locked down" RT. Currently I would easily consider switching from my current surface pro to the nokia tablet for 95%. Two issues that are keeping me at bay is 1. a usb connection and 2. wacom stylus support (no, not ntrig or a capacative pen like on the ipad). If these issues could be adressed quickly within the current line up, this would make the tablet 100% for me. I wouldn't hesitate to switch down.

I still'll buy a surface 2. It is a question of Plastic vs Magnesium. The materials matter much... at least for me.

I'm not really sure, as I don't really know how it feels like using the RT OS, without desktop functionality. Kinda worries me, as this might be the aspect where Nokia might fail.

Price? Then I will decide.

I don't need a surface pro. You can get a laptop with much better specs and can be upgraded for the price. The RT can remote desktop if you need to use a desktop app. I would never consider a pro at that price

It's more of a tablet...not a Laptop...so...RT makes alot of sense. You need to compare it to tablets, not desktops. It's like Apple with iOS on mobile and OSX on desk.

Not really hard to understand.

Why worry? It become MS product next year.

Plus Microsoft wants more windows 8 tablets on the market to increase development. So far it has been a flop.

Complicated, the staff compares the RT with Windows 8 Pro, forget that the RT is geared precisely to Tablets and apps are increasing.

I don't see anyone complaining that I can't install Windows applications on iOS, go figure.

I switched my lenovo notebook for a surface rt and so far I have not been missing applications required for my job.

I'm sticking with the Surface 2 because I love that hardware design, but admittedly the value adds on the 2520 greatly surpass the S2.

2520:
Ad-free Nokia Music
HERE Maps
Storyteller
Video Director Suite
SmartCamera Interface
LTE
Keyboard cover that adds 5 hours of battery life
Better rear camera
Multiple colors
NFC

Surface 2:
SkyDrive 200GB free for a year
Skype Unlimited free for a year
And um....?

Not sure what else Microsoft is bringing to the table that could be considered "exclusive" to the Surface 2. Perhaps the new front facing camera, which is pretty amazing.

I think the Surface 2 for me. I like the full size USB port, and the 64GB option. And the keyboard cover on the Nokia looks like it would add a lot of weight and size to the package (though I do like the 2 additional USB ports). Also, I really don't need LTE on a tablet because I would rather save the money and just use my phone when I need internet access when away from WiFi. The Nokia looks nice though.

As in Brazil everything takes too long to arrive, the prediction is that I have this gadget in February 2014 ... gonna buy the Surface 2 and next year change by 2520.

The RT and no Wifi is a bit of a bummer (at least till it gets the apps I need) but definitely a 2520. In Cyan.

It has WiFi.

Has a preorder or release date been announced?

I was trying to watch the live stream last night but my almost 5 year old Acer can no longer handle live streams in the CPU department.
