Well, we all are just looking for smarter ways of easing our lives, keeping in touch, getting things done and even entertaining ourselves, however, we do know a million and one gadgets exist in today’s market and making a choice is not an easy one ; considering affordability, portability and even taste.
Today I was not sure checking out a gadget was on my mind one bit, considering the headache of staring and wishing and still not purchasing but as I was surfing the internet this morning on Bbc, this pretty device caught my attention.
Microsoft just unveiled a new tablet device having more softwares but as expected is more expensive than the previous tablet, Surface 2 by same company. This baby (some peeps call their gadgets baby) Surface 3 is powered by an Intel processor, unlike the ARM-based chip in the Surface 2.
As you would expect, it runs on a Windows 8 operating system. According to Bbc’s Leon Kelion, Microsoft’s share of the tablet market has grown from 2.3% to 3.2% as a result, while Apple has seen sales of its iPad decline, although it remains the bestselling brand.
Now Microsoft targets the Surface 3 at those on tighter budgets such as students and schools, and mobile workers who may want a lighter, smaller design.
Talking About the Features
“For people that need to get stuff done, generally you need a keyboard and some people need a pen, and that’s where our device plays,” Dale Perrigo, a Surface marketing manager said.
He ,however, cautioned that this device is not really produced to serve pure entertainment purposes ,”If you want a pure entertainment that’s not what this device is.” Prospective buyers of Microsoft’s Surface 3 do not have too long to wait as the product will be released in May, 2015.
The basic version of the Surface 3 – features 64 gigabytes of storage, 2GB of RAM and an Intel Atom x7 processor – costs £419. The touchscreen pen and keyboard cover are not included, and add £155 to the cost.
Another bit of warning here is that ” it’s not going to suit everyone as a notebook replacement and will be for people who only want it for lighter productivity tasks.”
This gadget uses Windows 8 rather than Windows RT – and comes with an offer of free upgrade to Windows 10 when it becomes available which means the entry-level Surface gains access to more programs.
Note also that the Surface 3 here, its Atom-class chip means it will struggle with some processor-intensive programs – such as video editors, computer-aided design (CAD) software and graphics-intensive games. This is where the Pro 3 model will be more suited for.
The new tablet is fanless, but significantly thicker – at 8.7mm (0.34in) – than many of its rivals in order to incorporate a standard USB 3.0 socket.
The producers also optimised for a port that enables connections to the largest number of devices and peripherals possible.
Being even more thicker than most of its rivals on the market, it might come as ‘turn-off ” for you from this “baby”, but hey, a product can’t have it all; because something has to make you purchase an upgraded version of it when it becomes available *lol*.
