Microsoft Surface RT review - Eurogamer: "a largely disappointing offering that under-performs in almost every way that matters."

It looks like these people reviewed the Surface expecting it to be the Surface Pro. That's like reviewing the Wii and expecting it to work with the Wii U tablet controller.

I don't understand. Are you inferring that the Surface Pro deserves the bad rap?

Surface, hardware wise, doesn't offer anything more than the average tablet in the market right now (anything worth putting it at another level). Software wise, it's no step up from Android or iOS (UI is subjective) in any level or form aside from Office. (Which suitable alternates are vailable for the competition). Surface w/ Windows RT is M$'s tablet that is meant to compete with similar ARM based tablets.

With that said, reviews are falling in line as they should. (Marketing has a lot to do with it imo)

Windows 8 Pro tablets wil be reviewed and compared to similar slates/pc/ultrabooks once they release.

The biggest complaint that most reviewers have is that it doesn't have the large app library that iOS and Android have. And that a lot of apps out there were rushed so they don't run well. As for hardware, most of the reviews I read praised it.
