what makes it different from the surface pro 2?

Maybe most importantly, it has a 4th generation Haswell i5 processor which means lower power and better battery life than SP2.

Much thinner, bigger screen size, better pen, better trackpad on the type cover, kickstand that is more flexible / more angles.

The surface pro 2 runs all programs that any normal computer can. It's powerful enough to run photoshop, illustrator and even zbrush, new PC games too like: skyrim, borderlands 2. So MS word/excel aren't going to strain this thing.

It does work for the Surface 2, but it could work better with some slight changes.

Mine is standard Microsoft Surface (Not the pro.kind). From the description of the product, it should fit Surface 2. If not, you can always return it.

You have two différent connectors. One for surface and surface 2, the other one for surface pro and surface pro 2. This one is for surface and surface 2.

It fits the surface pro 2 well and snug once it is the sp2 case. I bought the sp1 case initially and it didn't fit. They look exactly alike. Make sure you get the right one

I have a surface pro 2 and it fits ok. Just don't expect for the surface to fit in that plastic slot.

I have a surface pro 3 that does not fit, so if the surface 2 is smaller, perhaps.

I'm not sure but I heard its a little different. The charger for surface pro 1 is specific to that model only from what I read.

The pro (which I use) and the pro 2 have the same digitizer, so it should work. As for accuracy, I draw on my pro. The original pen was a bit painful to use. You may notice it is tuned so that you cannot see the virtual contact point when using it. It appears behind the nib point. The feel is completely different. I find it provides a much more natural feel on my pro. Since mine arrived, I have not used the included pen once. Your experience may vary based on your needs but I consider it a vast improvement. For a tablet that costs nearly a thousand dollars, this was a seemingly cheap upgrade that completely changed my experience. I think MS should just pack these in.

Not sure, I have a Surface 2. I believe they are very similar in size, the 2 is just thinner than the Pro 2. Fits my Surface 2 great, has velcro to help secure the tablet from sliding out. Depending on how much thicker the Pro 2 is, it may not fit. Not much wiggle room.

This Surface comes Windows RT and works as a tablet only. Microsoft Surface Pro, on the other hand, comes with Windows 8 and works as a tablet and PC. Thanks!

Personally I think it is, same spec. as surface pro but bigger screen, I think it is well worth it.

Other than Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy .. which may be the key difference. This device has a Surface logo and matches the black color of the Surface/Pro products.

I use it on my Surface Pro 3, So I am 99.9% positive it would work with the Surface Pro 2.

Not a direct answer, but it works fine with my Surface Pro 2 which I believe uses the same technology.

IMO there's no comparison. Android is incredibly limited and slow and buggy. A Surface Pro has real Windows on it, so VASTLY better software, and hardware, it has faster ahrdware, and Windows is actually faster than Android on the same hardware, despite Android being so limited. On top of that, Samsung's Android devices don't run stock android, so updates will be few and far between. I'd never choose Android over Windows, but if you must for some reason, at least get a Nexus as you'll get better support for it for longer.
