The CEO of Microsoft (MS FT) named Steve Ballmer, revealed Microsoft tablets which are to be called 'Surface'. It is quite a strong entry from Microsoft as an ipad competitor and above from the expectations and assumptions of analysts.
COVERS OF MS SURFACE
Two types of covers are made for MS Surface, i.e. the Touch Cover and the other is Type Cover. These both models operate using the same multi-touch digitizer. MS Surface is powered by Intel 22nm Ivy Bridge chips and ARM chip set. Both devices has 3mm pressure sensitive magnetic cover which provides an option to type. These Microsoft Surface tablets weigh 2lbs, less than two pounds and according to Microsoft, it is the first PC ever that has PVD magnesium case. This exterior magnesium alloy surface seems smooth to touch and finely finished.
COVER-CUM-KEYBOARD
The MS Surface tablets has bright hue keyboards. It can be said that it has a protective cover-cum-keyboard. According to Panos Panay, the leader of the team that created the Microsoft Surface, named Steive Bathiche (researcher) developed the Touch Cover Technology at Microsoft.
The cover of MS Surface is a biggest innovation but the keyboard could be a critical feature for the people who use the tablet for creating spreadsheets or documents or other types of written content.
The new MS Surface includes tablet features but offers a wide screen at 10.6 inches and a cover that flips to become a cool keyboard and can be folded back while still connected, which Microsoft said is 10 times faster than any keyboard in use today.
New iPad vs MS SURFACE
The New iPad vs MS Surface is "something new, something different, a whole new family of computing devices from Microsoft", said Steve Ballmer.
The Microsoft Surface tablet is a big news and it will provide buyers a choice between the MS Surface and the iPad. To some extent, Microsoft Surface as an iPad competitor may revolutionize how we use tablet computers altogether.
