I don't have a surface tablet... But it will play all of those disc formats as long as you have playback software that can decode them.

It will play blu rays, DVDs, and CDs. I don't know about the tablet. I think it should work as long as it has a USB port.

In a laptop setting, in order to play blu-rays, dvds and cds, you will need to install a software like Cyberlink PowerDVD ($78) or have Media Center in order to run it. Otherwise it will only run set-up disks. But if you are using a Surface RT and not a laptop, there is a question of driver support and I believe the driver options are limited. Surface Pro, however, has Media Center, as well as the ability to install software, so that you can use it like a laptop.

It will play blue rays with the proper BD playing software. I use Windows 8. Also it will run cd's and dvd's as well in any OS. As for the Tablet I would figure as long as it has a USB port it should work. It does take 2 ports though so you might want to get a usb hub.

If by Surface RT you mean the Tablet than as long as it has Bluetooth capability it will work. Hope this answer helps.

I have a surface but all you have to do is turn on the bluetooth so yours should be able to work fine if it takes bluetooth.

This cable functions as a standard analog microphone cable, so if the surface RT has a mic input, then this cable will work, allowing you to use an XLR mic with the tablet and a compatible audio application, like Audacity or something similar. You can also monitor the mic input via the integrated headphone jack on the cable. I've used it on both a PC (Win7) w/Audacity and on an iPad with GarageBand, and both worked well.

I don't know what you mean by a surface pad. If you are meaning a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet, then yes, it should work fine since all you do is plug it into the USB and the Windows 8 OS will recognize it as an optical drive.

Yes it will play Blu rays. The software with it is not a full suite but you can use Windows media player in Win 8.1 for music. I use a third party program for Blu rays as the one included did not allow for movie playback.

Yes it does. I use it regularly with my Surface RT to display its screen on my TV.

Absolutely. It plays any DVD Blue Ray or regular. It also will play Music cds and, if you would be so inclined, will read a disc with pictures and allow you to show them on your TV. It will also allow you to acccess the internet if you have a WiFi modem. If you like you can stream movies from Netflix or Amazon it you are a member. Great piece of equipment!

Yes it can read & write. I use it with my Surface 2 tablet with Win 8.1. It went through an installation procedure and it worked fine. I can read and burn CD with no problems. It has a USB 3.0 connector that works well. I especially like its portability. In addition, I use the VGA connector on the ASUS docking station and the miniport with HDMI adaptor on the Surface 2 to run dual monitor display (incidentally, the Surface screen can act as a third monitor).

Yes, I have successfully played DVDs on this model. The user manual says it plays DVD-video, DVD-R, DVD-R DL in addition to Blu-ray. It also plays CDs, SD cards, and USB media.

No, As the Surface tablet OS is Windows RT and you would need to use the Windows store app to install apps- Apps (included) Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 RT1 (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, Outlook); Windows Mail and Messaging; SkyDrive; Internet Explorer 10; Bing; Xbox Music, Video, and Games. Works exclusively with apps available in the Windows Store.

I have two of them and they both play CDs and DVDs just fine . I would recommend updating the firmware to the most current one . You most likely though will have some issues playing some of the newer blu ray releases but otherwise it's a great player . Good luck

Surface Pro 3 has only one USB port and it is underpowered for this drive. You must have another USB power source. The Microsoft Charger for the Surface Pro 3 has a USB port. Microsoft Windows 8.0 and 8.1 do not support playing DVDs or Blu Rays. You must buy software to do that.

I use it with my original Surface RT but I find that the picture quality isn't perfect. Maybe if using a mouse you could set the TV as the main screen and get a better picture.
