In May last year, when he was introduced Surface , perhaps we had not yet clear what it was. Neither we prospective clients or Microsoft. Do not call tablet. Why Surface approaches just a little 'idea of the typical Android tablet or iPad. Surface Pro is a laptop for all purposes that combines the power and extreme portability of the product, the interaction with the operating environment using the touch screen.
After using it, every time I go back to my MacBook Pro I have the constant temptation to touch the screen to interact with the functionality of some programs or browse the Web From this point of view, it is recognized to Microsoft a major effort in an attempt to converge the old paradigm of interaction with mouse and keyboard and the touch. The result is perhaps not always exciting, especially when you switch the interface to tile Modern UI of Windows 8 Pro to the classic desktop, but in all probability it will become a standard in the coming years in all modern operating systems that will be. Doing the math, I almost always used more as a "laptop" with keyboard as a tablet.
The construction materials are level. The frame VaporMG dark-colored titanium is durable and gives the body a sleek design. It can comfortably hold in your hands though, because of its 907 grams (almost 3 times a iPad) after a little 'arms accuse the hassle of weight. The 16:9 widescreen display with ClearType technology offers full HD is sharp and bright colors and well balanced. As regards the doors, Surface is equipped with a USB port, a slot for microSD cards and a video output HD. The two cameras, front and rear, have a 702P HD resolution. Let's just say that the photos are not the strong point of this device but I imagine that anyone who purchases it does not take it mainly for this kind of function.
The performance of Surface Pro are excellent. The operating system response to touch is immediate. You can work with it as a classic portable spassarvela and a lot of fun with games like Halo Spartan Assault that, especially for fans of the series for the Xbox, will keep you riveted in front of the screen for hours. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote are a strong point of no small feat. They allow you to exploit the full potential of Surface to create and edit documents also very complex. The application of Outlook, 2013, in its essence, is simply fantastic to manage and keep your inbox tidy.
A special mention goes to the supplied stylus. Represents the best there is in the market to write on an electronic device. It 's almost like writing on paper. The pen that came with the Surface Pro, combined with the versatility of OneNote allows you to use Surface as a notebook for all purposes. The answer to writing is immediate and realistic. The result screen is almost identical to that which would drawing on a piece of paper with a pen. You can use a ruler to draw diagrams and classic geometric shapes with precision without leaving marks on the document.
The desktop interface is the classic one that Microsoft has accustomed us for some time now. Too bad that the descriptions of the functions and the text in general are really too small to spend too many hours in front of the screen. If the configuration used in laptop, the keyboard and the body resting on the appropriate rear support, due to the fixed screen angle can not be adjusted as in the classic laptop, you have to move your head all the time depending on the light conditions . At times, largely with a light source behind you, it forces you to do contortions that make this solution is not too comfortable. Maybe it would be better to allow the back support adjustment in three or more levels, so as to adjust the angle of the screen in similar cases. One last note for the duration of the battery in-use "stressful" does not exceed 4 hours.
The question that many have made me is whether it is worth buying it or not. The answer, as usual, can not be a brutal yes or no. It really depends on several factors that must be weighed according to the needs of the user.First of all the price. The body of the Surface Pro starts from 882 euro 337 euro against the younger brother, the Surface RT. For sure if you need something practical like a tablet but with which to work the classic tools of Office, then the Pro version can be the right choice. Surface Of course, this is not a tool of pure entertainment as the iPad. And if you want something less demanding from the point of view of functionality, perhaps more than the Pro version, the RT version is the one that is right for you.
The Pro version 128GB costs 982 euro. To which if you add other 119.99Euros of the cover that acts as a touch keyboard are plenty of over a thousand euro. Not a few. Especially considering that there are alternatives on the market with similar features, including the touch screen, which you can find on the 400 euro. Undoubtedly, the quality of the materials and the heart of this Surface placing the product on a much higher level than the competition, which partly justifies the price so high. But I realize that in absolute terms are not few.
Ultimately Surface Pro is a good product. Perhaps in some ways unfairly snubbed from the market a bit 'for the general cold reception of Windows 8, a little 'because of the price, a little' because Microsoft announced this product confusing the customers who did not understand what it was. Sure is a good starting point for the development of similar devices in the near future. It is definitely worth a try.
