Already in May, coming to market two new devices from Microsoft. Surface and Surface 3 3 Pro to be hybrid devices, based on the full version of Windows.

Rival iPad?

Surface 3 would compete with the iPad Air 2, but is it possible? It’s hard to say today. Apple has a smaller screen (9.7 vs 10.8 inch), but a much higher resolution (2048 x 1536 vs 1920×1080). Microsoft’s device has a normal system in which they operate and standard web applications. RAM for both equipments is 2GB. A detailed comparison of the can be found here.

3 Pro Surface parameters are also important because at the last premiere took two important devices. The first is the new MacBook. How wrote almost a month ago, the MacBook is a device with a screen diagonal Retina 12 “2304×1440 pixel resolution and is equipped with an Intel Core processor 1.1 GHz M, the system – Intel HD Graphics 5300, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. It will cost in Poland 6299 zł (US $ 1,299). Comparing the dry parameters can be said that Apple hardware could compete Surface 3 Pro. Especially model i7 processor and 256GB SSD – costs of $ 1549.

In the case of the Surface 3 uses a powerful processor, but still with the Atom series. ReadWriteWeb says that clearly indicates that the function of the device: a powerful tablet.

The second device with which the Surface 3 and Surface 3 Pro must compete is new Chromebook Pixel . Priced at $ 999 basic version is equipped with i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD. The screen diagonal 12.85 inch has a resolution of 2560×1700 pixels. It’s really powerful, but it works on Chrome OS, which nonetheless very strongly limits its capabilities.

How to evaluate these devices?

 Leek & # XF3; COMPARISON Surface Surface 3 and 3 Pro

Surface 3, presented yesterday, may be treated as a competitor Air iPad 2, Surface 3 Pro which rivals the MacBook and Chromebook. Specifications for the consumer but the most important will be the answer to the question of how the two devices to cope with professional and entertainment applications. Surface 3 can check out less as a computer – when TypeCover we attach to it (by the way, sold osobbno). Surface 3 Pro in this role, check out great, but a bit too big to was comfortable in every situation as a tablet.

Despite everything, I believe that Microsoft has learned and created the most perfect machine in the series Surface. will go on sale outside the United States on May 10.
