Software maker Microsoft's new product Surface Pro has begun to receive mixed reactions from users. Of the tech-savvy writers, bloggers, and everyone else who has tried this Windows 8 Pro-powered tablet, a large number of comments have been negative, which has dampened Microsoft's desire to compete with the iPad. However, the number of reviews (especially software, display, performance and ecosystem) is quite low with the Surface Pro.
The US company, the developer of Windows, has released two versions of their tablet devices. One is the "Surface RT", which uses an ARM chip and only runs new types of special Windows 8 style (formerly Metro) applications. RT Surface starts at 599.
The lowest price of a direct desktop based Windows OS loaded Surface Pro is ৮ 699. It will cost ২০০ 200 more to buy than the Apple iPad and just ১০ 100 less than the MacBook Air. It would not be an exaggeration to call the relatively thick, and heavy Surface Pro a hybrid of laptops and tablets.
In both 64 and 128 GB models, you will get only WiFi as connectivity. If you want to buy a separate special keyboard, another 120 dollars will go out of your pocket.
According to Microsoft, the Surface is the first device to bring a complete operating system to tablet format without compromising on quality. But according to some respondents, there are still some problems with the gadget and it is an uncomfortable device between a tablet and a PC.
While all the software that can be used on the desktop runs well, the Surface Pro's battery backup is disappointing. It showed less than four hours of standard battery test, which puts Apple ahead of the iPad. Some have also expressed dissatisfaction with the usable memory of the 64 GB version.
All in all, many are advising to buy the Surface RT instead of the Surface Pro, as it is relatively less expensive and lighter. However, keeping in mind the issue of speed and performance, the Surface Pro can be your ideal mobile computer even with a little less battery life.
