Right on the heels of releasing the Nokia XL, Microsoft, on Tuesday, unveiled their all new table, the Surface Pro 3.
As per Microsoft, you can expect the lightweight tablet to perform as well as a laptop, allowing for power reserves as well, which seems quite handy.
Surface Pro 3 is being advertised as a tablet and a laptop with its multiple processor, RAM and storage options. The design of the product is much sleeker than earlier ones, coming equipped with a simple snap feature that can transform the device into an easy to use laptop. An added advantage is that this new piece is 30% thinner than the 11-inch MacBook Air, which is quite thin and compact anyway. It has a 12-inch display and the new, continuous kickstand allows you to use the tablet at various angles with ease. The device also has the newly designed Surface Pen which seems to be much easier and more efficient to use for all your writing and drawing needs.
"So many people carry both a laptop and a tablet but really want just one device that serves all purposes," said Panos Panay, corporate vice president, Microsoft Surface. "Surface Pro 3 is the tablet that can replace your laptop — packing all the performance of a fully powered laptop into a thin, light and beautifully designed device. You’ll love being able to carry a single device for your next class, workday or weekend getaway knowing you have all the power you need."
* Here's what the Surface Pro 3 has to offer
It comes with a 12-inch full HD display with a 4th-generation Intel Core processor option along with the easy to use click-in keyboards, and a multiposition kickstand. You can also move between modes, through the kickstand, going from from movie mode to working mode to writing mode with relative ease. Users will be happy to know it runs on the user friendly Windows 8.1 Pro, which will allow people to nicely adapt to the user interface. The OS also includes Microsoft Office as well as multitasking capabilities with side-by-side windows.
As mentioned earlier the newly re-developed Surface Pen is also included and there is a new feature which according to Microsoft's blog allows the user with just a click of the pen, you can capture your thoughts immediately - as quickly as a pen and piece of paper. Entertainment buffs will also like the new device which comes equipped with a larger, full HD screen, the kickstand, Dolby Audio enhanced sound, and boasts a battery life of up to 9 hours of Web-browsing.
