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

The User-Agent (UA) string is contained in the HTTP headers and is intended to identify devices requesting online content. The User-Agent tells the server what the visiting device is (among many other things) and this information can be used to determine what content to return.
A browser's User-Agent string (UA) helps identify which browser is being used, what version, and on which operating system. When feature detection APIs are not available, use the UA to customize behavior or content to specific browser versions.
Described in the HTTP standard, the User-Agent string contains a number of tokens that refer to various aspects of the request, including the browser's name and version, rendering engine, device's model number, operating system and its version, etc.
User Agents tell a website what browser you are using Included in that request is the user agent (In a HTTP Header). Web sites can look at that user agent string and determine what web browser, operating system, and device you are using. It's how we tell you "my browser" on our homepage!
Just do some Google'ing and you will find your answer.

Identifying touch-enabled systems
Internet Explorer 10 introduces the "Touch" UA string token. If this token is present at the end of the UA string, the computer has touch capability, and is running Windows 8 (or later). This UA string will be transmitted on a touch-enabled system running Windows 8.
Note Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 will never report a UA string with the "Touch" token.Internet Explorer 10 on Windows RT with Touch enabled:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; ARM; Trident/6.0; Touch)
Update for Internet Explorer 11
