Microsoft recently launched the Surface Pro tablet…but exactly how is it different from other tablet devices, especially those that are already on the market?
Well basically the Surface Pro is aimed at users who want a tablet device but with the performance and features they expect from a PC.
This means having the Windows 8 Pro operating system on board, connectivity with external devices like printers & monitors, more input options with touch, keyboard and surface pen, plus the ability to install and use applications just like you would on a desktop or notebook PC.
Top features & Benefits
- Windows 8 Pro. Tablet meets laptop in an intelligently constructed machine with the power and legacy of Microsoft applications and security features — all in one beautiful place.
- Surface pen. Surface Pro includes a pen that lets you jot down ideas anytime, anywhere. Distinctively crafted to work with Surface, the pen is a stylish way to edit, collaborate and do your signature work.
- Click in, and do more. Two ways to click in and do more — Touch Cover and Type Cover. Revolutionary design marries a light, thin form with comfort and speed. Doubling as a protective screen cover, both keyboards offer productivity with style and convenience.
- Kickstand. Surface was designed with an integrated kickstand that makes work instant and easy. Just flip out the kickstand and you’re ready to get busy.
- Security. Surface Pro combines the security and manageability that you expect from Microsoft. Microsoft BitLocker encrypts your hard drive’s data, helping keep your stuff safe. Install applications and connect with accessories and printers, just like you always have.
- Connectivity. When your creations need to be shared with others, connect to projectors, big screens or displays by plugging into the Mini DisplayPort.3
