There is a man on craigslist selling his surface because he got an iPad and he uses that one more and no longer uses the surface one anymore. I asked him which surface tablet he is selling but he does not know and I don't know how to tell him to check the tablet's model. I can't go to his house and look at the tablet by myself because it is kind of far away. Anyway, I looked online and all of them seem to be the same from outside, the surface, surface 2, surface pro, and surface pro 2 seem to be identical to me (I don't know that much about tablets either).
Is there a way to find out which model he is probably selling either by turning on the tablet or by looking around the tablet somewhere? If you can find out whether he has the Pro or the RT then it'll be easy to differentiate. To find out whether he has an RT or a Pro (of any model) ask him some of the following: -Which side of the screen is the USB port on?
(Right: RT Left: Pro) -Does the charger cord have a power brick with a USB port? (No: RT Yes: Pro) -What does it say beneath the kickstand? Windows 8 RT or Pro? Hopefully he can figure this much out. Next you just have to figure out which RT or which Pro.
If he has an RT, the only thing you need to check is if the color is different. Black is RT 1, silver is RT2. If he has a Surface Pro then to find out if it's a 1 or 2, just check the symbol on the kickstand. Is it a Windows logo (Pro 1) or does it say Surface (Pro 2)?
