IPad vs Microsoft Surface: the comparison between the two tablet

 

Microsoft Surface is now official and we know most of the technical: we start from this information purely to draw a comparison between the two hardware versions of the proposed Redmond and the yardstick that Apple iPad third generation. Above a table that simplifies the comparison, after the jump cards extended techniques and extended the comparison between the two (actually three) devices that are preparing to fight a high-quality shots. It remains a question: what will it cost the family and especially when it comes out Surface? We hope soon to have more information.






This night has been revealed the first tablet marked directly from Microsoft Surface and its name is: I have been formalized two versions that vary by processor, screen resolution and size / weight. The name is the same as that of the famous desktop-computer-touchscreen now in its second generation. Inziamo immediately by the technical characteristics of the two models with appropriately placed side-

RT operating system Windows 8 or Windows Pro 8

ARM processors or Intel X86

Weight 676 grams or 903 grams

Thickness of 9.3 mm or 13.5 mm

Display 10.6 "HD ClearType

Battery W 31.5-h

microSD, USB 2.0, Micro HD Video, 2 × 2 MIMO antenna

Memory 32 GB, 64 GB and 128GB (Intel only)

Applications Office '15 'Apps, Touch Cover, Cover Type and Touch Cover, Cover Type, Palm Block with Pen

The new iPad aka iPad 3 now we know everything and most of all, with a thickness only slightly greater than iPad 2, significantly increases the power than previous models making substantial innovations. Despite not having a motor driven excessively, it can leverage the proprietary interface and the IOS operating system to squeeze the best performance. Here is a summary of the data sheet:

Retina Display touchscreen multitouch screen resolution 2048 × 1536 pixels

Dual core processor with graphics quad core Apple A5X

Memory 16, 32 and 64GB

5-megapixel back camera with sound recording HD

ISight Camera Front

Wi-Fi

LTE connectivity

Battery 10 hours, 9 in LTE

The comparison between the sheets is easily done. The screen is 10.6-inches of Surface against 9.7 inches of iPad, both are capacitive multitouch, but lacks complete data on the density per inch of the Microsoft proposal. If the Surface Arm is only slightly heavier than the iPad, one with Intel pays a higher weight of 300 grams. The memory of iPad 3 is 16, 32 or 64, to Surface "Arm" and the 32 or 64GB of Surface "Intel" up to 128GB. The battery iPad Surface and upper are equivalent, the model uses Arm expansion via microSD slot thanks to the Intel microSDXC present and only Microsoft mounted USB 2.0 with USB 3.0 the top, which is also the only to use the stylus input. The tablet in Redmond rely on stereo speakers but it is unclear whether Bluetooth fit them, 4G, GPS with compass, accelerometer, gyroscope and sensor environment. We await full information on the technical specifications: in general the higher model of Surface can be considered a laptop disguised as a tablet, but even an advantage in hardware must demonstrate the ability to fight at the software level with iPad, which always has the immense wealth from its Store.
