On October 22nd, 2013, Microsoft finally released the new Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, Nokia announced its first Windows RT 8.1 tablet, called Lumia 2520, with gorgeous display, a variety of colors and support for LTE — something Surface users felt left out –. And as expected Apple followed by announcing a new line of iPads: the “iPad Air” with three key features, thinner, lighter, and faster, and the new iPad mini, which carries the same hardware as the iPad Air (formerly known as “iPad”, yes, Apple changed its name), but with a smaller screen which as a result of both tablets sharing the same screen resolution, the iPad mini has a higher pixel density.
Now there are a couple of questions that many people are asking: What’s the difference between the tablets? And which one should I to buy? To make the decision a little easier, I created a table describing the technical specifications to compare Surface 2, Nokia Lumia 2520, and the new iPad Air.
Note that I didn’t include the Surface Pro 2 or the iPad mini, this is because these two tablets don’t quite fit in the group. The Surface Pro 2 is a more powerful machine that has no match compare to other tablets in the market, and the iPad mini doesn’t go hand-on-hand with the screen size, although has the same power as the iPad Air.
Three tablets, two operating system, only $500, and one important decision to take. Let’s dive into the details of Surface 2 vs. iPad Air vs. Nokia Lumia 2520:

Also that with the purchase of every Surface 2 or Surface Pro 2, Microsoft is including 200GB of SkyDrive for two years and 1 year subscription to Skype Wi-Fi. For more information read this previous article.
