Tablets are fairly popular these days. There are a bunch of different models from different manufacturers of Android tablets, there’s the ever-popular iPad and iPad mini and finally the Surface tablets from Microsoft
Microsoft has created the Surface and Surface Pro tablets and made it available to the public at the same time as Windows 8 launched, in 2012. A year later Microsoft released the Surface 2 tablets, which brought improvements performance, the battery life, and had an updated screen.
Now, another year later, Microsoft has announced the Surface Pro 3. Microsoft labels it as ‘the tablet that can replace your laptop’. The improvements delivered to this year’s Surface tablet include an Intel Core i7 processor – which is Intel’s highest and fastest category. The new Surface is also lighter, and thinner and it comes with a way better and more accurate display this year. One of the issues with the original Surface Pro was the weight.
The new Surface Pro 3 will be available for pre-order on May 21st, for $799. The device will be in stores on June 20th.
Considering all the improvements, it will be interesting to see how the new Surface performs in sales, competing against Android devices and iPads. The more interesting question is, will it be a true laptop killer? Could this tablet, equipped with a snap on keyboard truly replace the conventional laptop? Only time will tell.
