New plates from Microsoft became one of the most debated topics in recent years and it is not surprising. Own decisions in this area have long been waiting for from Microsoft, but Microsoft apparently waited for the most opportune moment to showcase their creations.
Device, Microsoft came out great. More precisely devices. Surface will be available in two trim levels. The junior version of the Surface runs on Windows RT, weighs 676 grams, has a 10.6 inch HD display, connectors, microSD, USB 2.0, Micro HD Video, and internal memory size of 32 or 64 gigabytes. The older version of the device has a greater performance. It will work on Windows 8 Pro, weighs 903 grams and equipped with built-in support for 64 and 128 gigabytes. Other characteristics, except for the battery capacity and the availability of slots MiniDisplay Port from older versions of Microsoft Surface, similar to those of the younger.
Microsoft is positioning its Surface as a tablet to work, building in the rear part of the support leg and applying, albeit very interesting, but not least, the speaker accessory in the form of a keyboard, which also serves as a veil to screen tablet. The problem is that the Redmond conceived sequence of actions a potential buyer to use the tablet will not work. The tablet, despite growing its technical characteristics, must be the tablet regardless of whether the manufacturer wants it to or not. But Microsoft is positioning its plate just as the ultra-PC. It is believed that this approach can hardly be called a winner.
Microsoft Tablet life has just begun and the company needed a device for entertainment, not for work. First of all, the company must first give the user to play, and only then to work. In Microsoft also do the opposite and the best thing about this says the elder version of the tablet, equipped with a processor Intel Core i5. In an attempt to level the tasks executed on various computing devices, Microsoft once again goes too far and makes replacement of the tablet PC. This tablet will come all manufacturers, but in opinion, the time for the commission of such acts has not yet arrived, and Redmond apparently rushed event.
A similar concept of the tablet would have been relevant a year or two of the presence of Microsoft in the market tablets. By the time the company has been able to gain experience and roll out several models of tablets, one of which could be present with its Surface a little unusual form factor. Then it would be talk about the devices Microsoft, created not only for entertainment but for work and content creation itself.
Think of a growing and developing iPad. Initially, Apple did not offer their users the tools to create content. The desired path, developers began to create a trampled missing for one or another of the tools. Later, realizing that this trend is gaining popularity, Apple has shown the world the full application packages iWork and iLife, which later became popular.
In Microsoft also hasten the development of events and this rush can play with the Surface trick. The reason why Microsoft is not particularly counting on the popularity of the tablet, it has described earlier in the article about the development of the market tablets in 2012. Surface performs only the function of attracting the attention of developers and users have not yet announced Windows 8, which will form the core of the operating system on the market in coming years. Nevertheless, it is a very interesting product, but I'm afraid that Microsoft just buries it, without even realizing it.
