Is a Pogue-less New York Times (NYT) tech report still as effective? Microsoft investors hope it is.

The NYT issued a review of Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) second-generation Surface tablet, the Surface 2.

Current columnist, Bob Tedeschi, give an evaluation of the Surface 2 versus the Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPad. The Surface 2 runs about $450 for the base model and Tedeschi thinks its a better value proposition than the Surface Pro 2.

While there were a few gripes about the app selection, Tedeschi liked the device overall and things its a marked improvement over the old Surface model. He commented, ...The Surface is a bargain machine that packs a tremendous amount of value for the price. The software sparkles with thoughtful and innovative touches that will most likely find their way to competing platforms.
