The pen that Microsoft has come out with for the pro tablets I do not believe will work (not 100% on that however). But the stylus's that they have out for tablets will work, I have used one on my surface 2.by

Hello there,There are some third party or Universal stylus pens that will work with the Surface 2 tablet. Microsoft currently does make one for the Surface or Surface 2 tablets.
I hope this was helpful to you.

A:
The "Magnesium" is merely a description of the color of the Tablet, so I'm confused by your question. All Surface 2 Tablets are the silvery "Magnesium" color. The Surface PRO is something completely different and comes in the Dark Titanium color. The original Surface, the Surface RT, also came in a Black color like the pro. That may be part of the confusion.by

Unfortunately NO. There is no such voice assistant yet although that is something that would be useful for navigation. But once again, SIRI doesnt do much either when it comes to looking up a video through voice and launching the Youtube app.I think GOOGLE Voice or Google NOW can do that

A:
No. There isn't currently a voice attendant for Surface. Microsoft has publicly discussed that they're working on their own version of something like Siri, but far more advanced. Currently it's codenamed Cortana.http://www.techradar.com/us/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/cortana-everything-you-need-to-know-about-microsoft-s-siri-rival-1183607

Answers
A:
Depending on the available connections that your projector will take, yes, you can use the Surface 2. It will require purchasing the Video connector that works with the Surface tablets. Once you have that you can push video from the tablet out to other video monitors or projectors.by

A:
Hello there,Yes, you are able to connect the Surface 2 to an external PC projector using the VGA adapter for Surface. The VGA adapter only transmits video. Audio plays on your Surface 2 speakers unless you make an audio connection to an external speaker. For more information, please visit : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-vga-adapter-for-surface/7411128.p?id=1218843725253&skuId=7411128

All of these are included, but I am a writer and I was a little disappointed because not all Adobe programs (i.e. Adobe story) are able to be downloaded, otherwise I love it. It has everything my pc does, except Access.by

Answers
A:
There is a button on the top that turns it on. It had a charger that plugs into a wall so there isn't batteries that need to be purchased.9 years, 7 months ago
A:
There is a button on the top right corner. If it doesn't turn on, plug in the power supply. It has a magnetic grip. Let it charge a minute or two then try again. Best Buy has great support, so if you have a problem with setup, take it in to the store and they will help.by

Answers
A:
Windows RT only runs programs installed through the Windows Store. While Mozilla or Google COULD develop browsers for it, they haven't, so far as I know.That said, it does include a real, full version of Internet Explorer (and real, full Flash) which is much better and faster than the stripped down versions of Firefox and Chrome available on Android.
Of course a full Windows 8 tablet like Surface Pro can also run full Firefox or Chome (in addition to programs from the Windows store).

A:
Hello there,The Surface 2 tablet does not have GPS because it connects through WIFI only. Some Surface 2 tablets have 3G/4G/ LTE capability and that does use triangulation GPS just like your cell phone does.
I hope this was helpful to you.
