Hi, I am new to tablets. My question is what is the difference between the Surface 2 32 GB and the Surface RT 32 GB?

Surface rt means you can't download any 3rd party software. Which means anything that doesn't come preloaded or can be purchased in microsoft app store. Whereas the non rt version can download 3rd party software. Hope that helps. Good luck

Don't know about Surface 2, It works with Surface RT, does not work with PRO.

Yes, because it has the full Win 8 app; the Surface does not. This tablet is the equivalent of the Surface RT but cost much less.

Good question. The Surface 2 is only a tablet using Windows 8.1 RT & Office RT. The Surface Pro 2 is a laptop/tablet with only Windows 8.1. The disadvantage with the tablet is no remote sessions and you can't use an external DVD. The advantage is the preloaded MS RT Office software and the price. I bought the Surface Pro 2. They have good deals on them now, because Surface Pro 3

RT refers to the software inside, not the physical dimensions. The RT will fit perfectly.

I have a Surface RT 8.1 and it works great.I don't know if this will work for the Surface 2 or Pro, there may be a slight size difference.Not sure.

This Tablet has the option of a micro sd or usb memory stick. 32gb is the max for the micro sd slot. You can view your doc's from there. No need to put them on the tablet and this version has 8gb onboard memory but you could transfer it to the onboard memory from there if you want.

I'm not sure of what you're asking. What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think the Surface RT is running Windows 8.1 RT for? Fun? What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think 8.1 RT is for? Ripping people off? It's the ONLY way that Windows 8.1 can run on a tablet! Why would you ask such a question? Do we think that there's a "Special" plan by Microsoft to rip people off? SHEESH!

Memory is a 32 gig card, located in a slot. The 4 GB RAM is what allows you to do more than one thing at a time, and affects the speed of the computer. Fast is the tablet? Well, I can't put a spec number on it, but, I can tell you that it is plenty fast with there operating system. Much faster that my Toshiba and HP laptops, using the old PC platform, which have processing speeds of over 2.0 mega hertz. I would not in any sense say that my tablet is slow. I'm sure you will be happy with it's performance. I would buy a second one when I get up the cash after Christmas.

I don't think so. The pro is a little thicker than the RT & Surface 2. Also, some of the ports are different.

Not entirely sure.....But the Surface 2 (with detachable key board and super fast processor) has so outperformed every other tablet/laptop I've ever used, I wouldn't consider anything else.....except, of course, the Surface 3.

4GB just means that you can go longer without having to download your notes because the pen can store more information. I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same as the 2GB model except for the memory. You won't have to buy a new one due to loss of memory with either model.

It is just like a regular computer just in tablet form. However be careful of the differences between windows 8 and windows rt. I have the windows 8 version and it is a tablet form of my desktop.

Nelly, I purchased the Surface RT and had to send it back because it was a piece of junk. It was released before testing was completed and when you depressed a key, the key next to or above and below would show up on your screen. Also, I went through a third party through Amazon (Worldwide Distributors). They told me and Amazon that if I did not like it, I could sell it on EBAY. Also, it you left the unit for more than 50 seconds, it would power down and you would have to start from the beginning. Microsoft Office was only a 6 mo trial (not mentioned when I bought it. I called Amazon back (they are thr greatest people in the world and a return customer service rep gave me the Microsoft Return Office because she said they stand by their product and I got a full refund. My husband got me an HP laptop and I am very happy with it. Be careful of third party companies Nelly. Stick with Amazon, they're the BEST!!!! Lorrie G.
