p>Thinner, lighter and faster, with a stunning new Full HD screen, the Surface 2 is great for work and play. Running Windows 8.1 RT, Surface 2 comes with Microsoft Office Home and Student RT Edition, giving you access to your favourite Office apps out of the box, as well as thousands more to download from the Microsoft Store, including Xbox, music, movie, games and social networking apps. It also comes with subscriptions to SkyDrive and the Best of Skype, helping you get the most of your tablet as soon as you turn it on.

Key Features:

• Super thin with a depth of just 8.9mm, Surface 2 is a thinner, lighter, yet still robust tablet, making it perfect to carry with you or slip into a bag while you travel. The VaporMg casing with a magnesium finish delivers excellent protection with a sophisticated look.

• The 10.6", 16:9 display features a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, giving you a stunning Full HD picture, with 50% more accurate colours than in the previous model. The speakers have been improved too, so you can enjoy HD movies with immersive sound.

• Use your Surface 2 on your lap or on a desk with no additional accessories, thanks to the improved kickstand. The kickstand is able to be placed at two angles, ensuring you a great view from any position.

• Surface 2 is equipped with front and rear-facing LifeCam cameras to give you great quality photos and videos and crisp images when video calling on Skype. The front facing webcam features 3.5 megapixels spread over a 1/3" sensor, for a high quality image, even in low light, while the 5 megapixel rear camera is great for snapping high resolution photos and videos. 2 microphones also ensure that friends and family get the best sound possible over web chats.

• Surface 2 features connectivity options normally found in larger, bulkier machines. A superfast USB 3.0 port will enable you to connect USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices, whether it's an external hard drive or a mouse, while HD video out will let you plug your Surface into an HD TV to share content with others on a big screen. A micoSDXC port will also give you the option of increasing storage space on your Surface and transferring data from microSD compatible devices much faster and quicker than with a cable.

• A battery life of up to 10 hours will keep Surface 2 going all day without needing to plug in to recharge.

• Surface comes with a 2 year subscription to SkyDrive, giving you 200GB's of cloud storage for free. SkyDrive can automatically sync your files and folders, saving them to the cloud as well as on your Surface, giving you access to them anywhere in the world. SkyDrive also gives you access to the Microsoft Office Web Apps, so you can create and edit documents, spreadsheets, Powerpoint presentations and OneNote files on the go.
