First Look - Microsoft Surface Pro

By CNet




Coming 9 February 2013 for US market.

The good: The Microsoft Surface Pro fits a full ultrabook experience in a compact 10-inch tablet. Thanks to the ingenious Type and Touch covers, it offers a comfortable interface and typing experience. The clean, crisp design and sharp 1080p screen rise above the competition.

The bad: The battery life is disappointing, and more ports would be nice. The 64GB model barely has any free storage. It costs as much as a regular laptop, especially because the cool keyboard cover isn't included by default.

The bottom line: The Surface Pro's gutsy design successfully reinvents the Windows 8 laptop by cramming an ultrabook experience into the body of a 10-inch tablet. Those wanting to go all-in on the tablet experience won't regret buying the Surface Pro, but we're holding out for a future, more polished generation of the device.

Surface Pen
The Surface Pro supports pressure-sensitive styli, and the Surface Pro comes with its own Surface Pen that magnetically attaches to the power connector to hold it in place when you're on the go. Writing and sketching felt natural, and the pen worked far more responsively than a capacitive iPad stylus (the technology's different).

Sometech: Setuju sangat dgn CNET yg tab ni terlalu mahal (~RM 2 700 utk 64 GB hard drive, harga yg lebih mahal dari laptop) kerana keyboard tidak disertakan sekali  dan saiz hard drive yg terlalu kecil jika dibandingkan dgn laptop. Hanya Surface pen yg disertakan. Disebabkan perkara di atas ditambah dgn microsoft app store masih lagi tak banyak apps yg menarik dan berkualiti, lebih baik beli tab yg lebih murah atau tunggu tab ini jadi lebih murah atau tunggu tab yg lebih baik dari microsoft. Tapi jika anda tak kisah dgn harganya, why not beli sebab tab ini memberi pengalaman tablet yg memuaskan dari segi touch screen yg responsif dan inovasi features (keyboard dan pen itu).
