Is Windows RT Right For Me?

[James Allan]

Hi guys,

Looking at purchasing a Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet. I am aware that this runs Windows RT. What I'd like to know is Windows RT suitable for my needs?

I need this tablet to:

Open Word, Powerpoint and Excel files fast and efficiently whilst I am on the go
Edit and Create Word, PowerPoint and Excel files using the optional keyboard
View YouTube videos
View Netflix
View PDF's
General Web Browsing
Be able to handle to different pages at the same time (i.e half and half)

It will do all those things well. Only caveat is if you normally use Excel Macros which are not supported in Office RT.

If you're a 'power' user of Office then consider an x86 based tablet, but if a general user/student, I'd expect it will work fine.

Agree with realwarder. I played around with that Nokia tablet at the Microsoft store a few weeks ago, it's FAST especially compared to my Original Surface.
