Microsoft Surface: Example of Technology and Craftsmanship

Microsoft Surface is a series of Tablets that designed and marketed by Microsoft. It has been two years since Apple’s iPad first arrived on the market. From that time Apple have healthy and truly dominated over the Tablet market. But, finally its long-standing rival Microsoft launched Microsoft Surface, a 10.6-inch Windows 8 Tablet.

Microsoft Surface comes in two versions:

1. Surface with Windows RT,
2. Surface with Windows 8 Pro.

Microsoft’s surface is mainly designed for those people who really need Office in their own hand. The combination of kickstand and touch covers increases their looks.

 

Why Microsoft surface is best?

If you wish that you have all in your life, 10-inch tablet for swiping around the internet, playing with colorful apps then you will look forward for Microsoft Surface tablets. The Tablet itself is very sturdy, has a decent look with slightly low resolution screen. Windows 8 is colorful, fun and moderately to get to grips with.

Advantage Great Build Quality  Pre-Installed Office  Detachable keyboard  Useful keyboard cover Expandable Storage Metro Interface

Disadvantage Desktop mode is pretty confusing Lower screen resolution Office does not work with Touch Not cheap as compare to other rivals.

Lets have a brief look on Microsoft Surface Features and Specifications:

Design and Quality:

Microsoft has given a funky look for the Surface to attract teenagers, ignoring the sleek rounded design. Hard angled corners and sloped, which make it different from others tablets. It’s world apart from Apple’s iPad, rounded corners of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or Google Nexus 10.

Around the back is a fold-kickstand, so you can place the Surface up for watching the movies and for more comfortable typing using the magnetic keyboard cover. The Surface has more strength. The Surface is teddy heavier than Apple’s iPad. The thickness of Microsoft Surface is around 9.3mm, which is little bit thinner than iPad’s 9.4mm.

The Chassis is made up of some kind of metal alloy that offers no bending or creaking under pressure.

Hardware:

  

The Brand new Microsoft Surface is powered by 1.3 GHz Nvidia Tegra chip, some few ports peppered around its edges. A USB 2.0 and microSD card slot are there. The expandable storage is the major advantage of Microsoft Surface, neither any iPads nor Google Nexus 7 offer expandable storage.  You can expand up to massive 128 GB when you have cheap 32 GB model.

The resolution of 10.6-inch screen with 1366×768 pixels, but which is not Full HD. Its aspect ratio is 16:9 which is ideal for watching movies. It has pixel density of 148 ppi, which is lower than Apple’s iPad (264 ppi) and Google’s Nexus (215 ppi).

 

That looks Microsoft does not focus on their graphics. It is not sharp as compare to others Tablets.

Software:

The Surface is running on Windows latest OS that is Windows 8 specifically Windows RT, the Tablet-oriented version of Microsoft’s new operating system. Unlike the full- flat version of windows 8, you would not able to install regular desktop software instead you can make it possible through various apps which is available on Windows Store. 

 

The Metro interface is undeniably very attractive. All Apps, information, software start-up are on single desktop metro look. There are some annoyances related to software specification of the Surface. For example, the software for keyboard does not pop-up automatically. You need to follow manual settings. There is no Battery indicator on Start screen and has a graphic on the lock screen.

Windows 8 has lots of fun to play, but it is a big departure from what you might have come to expect from Windows 7. Windows 8 provide better support to Windows apps rather than the games. Surface is not only for Gaming purpose. It is most probably for the Office work. Surface is preloaded with latest version of the Microsoft Office. The Suite includes Excel, PowerPoint, Word, OneNote and lots more, all of are “touch optimized”.

Conclusion:

If you are fully bound to Office, this slim slate and its Touch cover give you a serious business conduct to move on. It is well designed and the colorful Metro interface is pretty good and has a few useful tricks. It has expandable memory storage and more attractive apps like SKYPE are arriving on the Windows store. But that’s not enough to recommend any to buy it. Many comparison and best deals sites are available on the internet that provide best deals related to tablets.

Its lightweight, finger-flicking platform and powerful messaging eco system make different from present smart phones. A lot of hard work by the QNX team on power management in the core of the BlackBerry 10 platform.
