If you're an Apple fanboy there's a good chance nobody's going to sway your "they can do no wrong" opinion of the company. That's fine; this review is not for you. If you have persisted with a cheap and nasty Android or you're looking for a tablet, this may be of interest to you! The Lumia 2520 is a Windows RT 8.1 device, so not the full flavour 32/64 bit Windows. This only matters if you want to run your existing desktop software but given this is a pretty zippy tablet I don't know why you'd want to as that's not really what this sort of tablet is for. The Surface Pro 3 is a happier home for your existing software collection. The 2520 sports an unusual USB 3.0 slot (you'll need to buy a cable to plug USB sticks or other devices into it - they're about £5 on eBay), headphone socket, volume rocker, mini HDMI out so it's not quite as handy as the Surface 2 but this is a faster tablet, no question. 32GB is not a huge amount of storage and you'll find you have 18GB usable but then you can plug a 64GB micro SDXC card in and Windows 8.1 will make proper use of it, integrating it into your libraries. Also, and this is big, it has a SIM card slot and I'm presently enjoying HSPA+ mobile internet speeds courtesy of GiffGaff (soon to be 4G) so do look out for the unlocked 2520's. Apps, Apps, Apps...well Windows Phone has a better selection, but things are getting better and gaming on the Windows tablets is great. I even found using Office 2013 and OneNote in particular a pleasure. You can take advantage of Remote Desktopping and TEamViewer and Splashtop are both fully supported. It's a Nokia device, so it looks and feels great. The screen is beautiful with rich colours and the brightness it can achieve is phenomenal, great for full HD movies with the device handles with ease. There are even apps now for MKV videos too. It starts up quickly, doesn't suffer from the Surface 2 "Sleep of Death" bug and it's a better performer. You will need the USB cable adapter (same as Galaxy Tab) but given these are now selling for £250-£300 and OneDrive storage is 15GB for new accounts (I have 225GB) and likely a MicroSDXC card, but these are very cheap now and will boost your actual storage to a not inconsiderable 80GB. It's not an iPad; it does more and if you're using part of the Microsoft ecosystem this will be a neat and tidy addition. There are a decent amount of apps and alternatives for some of the big hitters such as Instagram that work fine, although the selection is weaker than Windows Phone. All that said I can't imagine parting with mine now I've used it for a while. Given the SIM slot and SD card expansion possibilities, this is a very good purchase and even the rear camera is pretty good.Read full review
