My overall score is not an average or even a weighted average of the partial evaluation. For me Surface as a whole device is much better than the sum of its parts.

In this review I made many comparisons of Surface and iPad. Shame on me! Surface is not the iPad competitor! …Actually it is, but what I meant by that is that Surface is much more than a tablet. For me it is more like a ultraportable laptop than an ordinary tablet.

In my humble opinion, surface is a great device with some minor issues. The most important thing for me is that issues are mostly software related and Surface may become better and better after each update. It’s a good thing. I have the opposite experience with my iPhone iOS updates. My phone have been slower and slower after upgrades.
