Today May 20th was an important date in red on the calendar of Microsoft. The software giant had placed us (faithful to his new philosophy: mobile first, cloud first) event on a Surface . Initially expecting a compact tablet, but we have finally seen a renewal of the Pro line, which scales up to 12 inches and changes the format of your screen. We compare this new Surface with another large tablet.
Manufacturers begin to assume that if they want to win public favor in the market tablets, should enhance the productive facet in their designs. This is something that Microsoft has been always clear, in part, a legacy of its supremacy in the field of PC, but other brands are also starting to take notice of the matter and seek to expand the workspace their devices without sacrificing the essence of tablet .
Design
The Surface Pro 3 is a computer with body magnesium and high quality finishes, tougher than the previous generation, and a more “flexible” in their positions kickstand. In addition, it is the thinnest and lightest product on the market with Intel Core. Its thickness is 9.1 mm and weighs 800 grams fits on .
The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 , meanwhile, has a thickness of 7.9 mm and a weight of 750 grams . The differences are too small to be on the one hand, a tablet with ARM processor and on the other, a team with all the capabilities of more powerful PC. Furthermore, despite the fake leather to give a stylish look Samsung designs, material (plastic) is of lower quality than the Surface.
Screen
Both teams have a number of very similar inches, however, the aspect ratio varies either. The Surface has a 3:2 ratio , more square and similar to the iPad, while the format is Note Pro 16:10 , the usual device in Android.
The resolution of the Galaxy is also a bit higher than the Surface, having the first 2560 × 1600 pixels (247 dpi), and the second, 2160 × 1440 pixels (213 dpi). The team is somewhat above Samsung in this area.
Performance
Arguably playing in different leagues. The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 mounted one of the most powerful processors on the market in style, the Snapdragon 800 , with 4 cores at 2.3 GHz also has 3GB of RAM, offering a spectacular performance when run games and applications found in the Android ecosystem.
However, the Surface has at its highest setting, with an Intel Core i7 and 8GB of RAM , that is, it is light years ahead of any Android tablet or iPad in performance and is capable of moving not only applications but also desktop programs games and very demanding with consummate ease.
Operating System / Interface
It’s a pretty controversial issue and many readers they will agree with our view, however, such as tablet, we can say that the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 has more applications (although not all of them optimized format) and a more open system customization .
The Surface Pro 3, meanwhile, runs the full version of Windows 8.1 Update 1 , a fully consolidated platform version desktop, the tablet side still has a long way to go. Microsoft aims to wipe out the doubt when consumer choice between laptop and tablet, but a tablet level, this still misses Surface benefits of its main rivals. To achieve this it is essential to continue attracting the attention of developers.
Autonomy
A key factor beyond the PC paradigm is that of autonomy. For this reason, the first generation of Surface Pro caused some head, since your battery time tried not too superior to use of a laptop . In this new model, Microsoft claims, cargo holds up 9 hours , which is exceptional.
The Note Pro offers a bit more room, up to 11 hours . However, since we say that we use natural is much lower, since the processor works.
Price and conclusions
If we consider prices in dollars, and had directly to EUR 12.2 Note Pro and Surface Pro 3 do not walk away nothing, the first costing around 750 euros and 800 euros in the second its most basic (Intel i3, 4GB of RAM and 64GB).
Although the Surface Pro 3 fits way to go before being optimal in its tablet computer as machine version is much more complete that the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, whose greatest strengths against rival is the screen resolution, the vast catalog of applications and services ecosystem Android .
