Surface 2
The Surface 2 is a definite improvement over 2012's Surface RT. It's faster with a sharper screen, but it still suffers from a lack of apps.
Slightly thinner
The Surface 2 is only slightly thinner than its predecessor. So slight, in fact, that you probably won't even notice the difference.
45
The Surface 2's new 45-degree kickstand angle makes it easier to balance on your lap.
Color covers
Both the Type and Touch Cover 2 come in multiple colors.
Ports
The Surface 2 features the same ports as the Surface RT. Along the right edge are full-size USB and Micro-HDMI ports.
Camera upgrades
The new cameras deliver sharp pics and video, and their low aperture allows them to capture a lot of detail even in low light. The 3.5-megapixel front-facing camera is the best front shooter on any tablet yet. It captures clear, colorful images with lots of detail.
The other side
The Surface 2's volume rocker, headphone jack, and speaker grill. Excited yet?
Backlight
The glowing backlight of Microsoft's new covers.
