    Hi,
    Does anyone have a Microsoft surface 2? If so what do you think? Or any suggestions for another tablet I'm leaning towards windows because I don't find android very stable and find iOS very limited suggestions are greatly appreciated

    What are you planning on using the tablet for? Unless you get the Surface Pro, the Surface is very limited and there are nowhere near as many apps as you would get on Android

    My mother in law uses a surface 2 for word, excel, email and general internet browsing. Apps wise she uses kindle, plex (for watching videos) metro tube (for youtube), Facebook, skype etc. She's not a big app person so the selection of apps is not an issue. What's most important for her is that she has office in a very tidy and light package with a very nifty touch keyboard / cover. Battery is excellent too. Horses for courses depending on your needs but if the above description sounds like it suits then the surface 2 is a great little machine.

    My gf has a surface 1, used primarily for college work, internet browsing and Netflix type viewing. She finds it awesome and the USB port is a welcome addition. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab and while it has more apps, everything that I'd want to do, the Surface does better and MS Office installed is very useful. Between using Onedrive (Skydrive) and the usb port to transfer word and excel projects, my gf never has to bring her old laptop out of the house now, hopefully this helps a bit

    I'm leaning towards windows because I like the GUI better and think it's better put together and don't like the android and I don't like iOS much because it's so limited for a tablet in my opinion but I want it to carry around and watch movies on the go with plex and Facebook and other light things so thee above replies are really appreciated thanks :)
