More about this Tablet
As the name implies, the Surface RT runs Windows RT, rather than a pure version of Windows 8. While this variation on Windows 8 is built to support ARM-based chips and provide better battery life, it does have certain shortcomings, such as the inability to any apps other than those found in the Windows Store. Similarly, its version of Office 2013 is a "preview" version with certain limitations, with a full version coming later.
