What is the user agent string for surface rt?

Question

I\'m trying to determine the user agent string for surface RT for testing purposes.

Answer 1

UserAgent for devices -

IE desktop - "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.3; rv:11.0) like Gecko"

IE Surface Pro - "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; Touch; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; Tablet PC 2.0; rv 11.0) like Gecko"

Edge desktop - "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; ServiceUI 9) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36 Edge/15.15063"

Edge surface - "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; ServiceUI 13) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36 Edge/17.17134"

By looking at the above user agents we don't have any clear distinguish between desktop and surface pro for Edge(IE is having Tablet PC check available ). So here to detect the window device first(surface pro is window tablet) and then verify if the device is touch device.

window + touch: true - surface pro

window + touch: false - desktop

isSurface: function () {
  // Window device Check
  if(!!navigator.userAgent.match(/Win/)) { 
  // Check if the device is touch               
  return !!navigator.userAgent.match(/Tablet PC/i) || "ontouchstart" in document.documentElement; 
  }
}
