Highlights

Real quick, here are some features of your Surface RT:

Touchscreen	Like a smartphone, you can browse the web or your email using touch. The
	touchscreen, with its 16:9 aspect ratio and ClearType technology, is great for
	watching HD movies, browsing the web, and using the included Office apps.
Keyboard covers	And touch isn’t the only option. Choose from two unique keyboards that
	double as a protective cover. This way you’ll always have a keyboard with
	you (sold separately).
Two cameras—front and back	Two cameras that you can use for video calls or taking pictures.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth	Connect to a wireless network and use devices with Bluetooth such as mice,
	printers, and headsets.
Dual microphones	Built-in microphones make it easy to record videos and call people using your
	Surface.
