Just keep in mind that because the tablet's dimensions have changed, the old keyboard covers won't line up perfectly with the device when you fold it shut. Really, though, if you happen to own an older Surface, any of the old keyboards, even the Touch Cover, will work here. This time around, Microsoft is only offering the "Type Cover" (the one with the physical buttons) and not the "Touch Cover" (the one with the flat keys). Speaking of proprietary connectors, the Surface still has those pins on the bottom side that allow it to click in to Microsoft's Surface keyboards. Hooray for being able to use standard cables! Of note: The Surface is rated for 10 hours of runtime, and it now charges through a regular micro-USB socket, as opposed to the proprietary connector used on past models.
The ports are also mostly the same: a full-size USB 3.0 connector, headphone jack, volume rocker, microSD slot (hidden under the kickstand) and Mini DisplayPort. (Microsoft says this was a concession to help keep the device's price - and thickness - down.) As for imaging, the front-facing camera still tops out at 3.5 megapixels, but the rear cam has received a bump from 5MP to 8MP. The Surface's signature kickstand remains too, except whereas it used to be more adjustable, it now supports just three positions. Otherwise, the Surface has generally the same design as before, including a magnesium case with blunt, chamfered edges and no cooling vents.
