Is there something out there that is similar that is as good or better than the Surface Pro 2 256gb? I have been planning for some time to purchase this machine (256gb version), but it is difficult to find. Does anyone know of something similar or better?

Sony Viao Flip, Leveno Yoga, Samsung ATIV, to name a few that are similar (that is convertible tablets/laptops). There are a few other brands as well. I'm sure you can find them with a search. The Razer Edge Pro is actually the most powerful convertible out there currently, built is really built for gaming i7 processor with a discrete nVidia graphics card). Hope it helps.

Yes I use one with the surface pro 2. Nice tracking, I do miss the 'flip to erase' function of the surface stylus, also there is no 'button' to do lasso in OneNote. It's best for drawing and works great that way.

Surface Pro 2 runs Office 2013 Home and Student very well. This includes word and excel, as well as other programs. I think it would also handle the more complete Office programs just as well.

I have read reviews that this is compatible with the Surface PRO 2. I own a Pro 1 so I really did not test it. I also went to Best Buy one day and the rep said it is compatible. The difference is that the touch keyboard cover for the PRO 2 is a bit thinner and has options for colors.

I enjoy mine, but I just use it for sketching. For on the go to be honest it's pretty comparable to my Surface Pro 3 (but the buttons on the Cintiq make it a bit nicer for more than sketching). I would definitely go to the store and play with them. MacMall has them for demo.

I purchased this specifically to work with my Surface Pro 2 and it works great! I have used it several times now with no issues.

Yes, I have used this with the Surface Pro; it works flawlessly. In fact, I was using it with the Pro just this morning.

Do not have experience with MS Surface Pro 2, but you can call clickfree at (866) 680-0516 and they should be able to answer the question.

Yes, it works perfect! I installed it on my pro 2. Pretty sure the surface 1, and 2 are identical in terms of size. Hope that helps.

does not matter as 8.1 is a free upgrad that takes only a couple of minutes to download. personally i will sell you my surface pro as i hate windows 8.

I'm not sure what you want. The Surface Pro has a MicroSD slot and I keep a 32GB card in it for storage. If you are looking for a separate card reader, it doesn't come with one.

Surface pro 2 is a fully functional windows 8.1 laptop / ultrabook in a tablet! It is just slightly heavier than the previous iPad (not the air, which is 300g lighter), but it is no comparison regarding features and capability. So it depends what you want. I have obviously opted for the surface. As I travel a lot for work , now I do not need to carry with me both a tablet and a laptop. I only need now surface pro 2!

Surface works with the following microSD card formats: microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC (Microsoft website). This is microSDXC class 10 so will be fine. It works fine on mine Surface 3 pro so - I do not see the reason why it would not work on Surface 2 pro. In fact the cheaper one (SanDisk Ultra) was constantly disappearing and reappearing on mine Surface. Matt

New generation of SURFACE PRO 2 will come with Microsoftoffice but old generation was no OFFICE pre-loaded. You need to buy MS office ( download).

This device isn't made to do stuff like that. Stick to the Surface Pro products if you want real stylus interaction. I'd recommend Surface Pro 2 as it's got better battery than the first gen stuff and it's not as expensive as Surface Pro 3. Remember you want surface PRO not Surface or Surface RT.

I don't know about the Surface Pro. In my review, I explained that I was using the Surface RT, not the Pro. My experience with the RT is that I notice some heat but it occurs sporadically, similar to how my Windows laptop might operate. I don't believe it's related to the memory card.

It is great for taking notes, onenote is awesome. You will want to buy another wacom pen with an eraser function though. I recommend the surface pro 2 pen. The pen that comes with it is nice because its attached to it, but its a little small and clumsy. As for PDF,it runs a full version of windows 8.1 so you can do anything you could do with a regular laptop. This blows the iPad out of the water with functionality.
