Microsoft Surface Tablets
Windows 8 RT coming on October 26 on the market in eight countries
including United States, to Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany,
Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Their prices and their specifications
were unveiled yesterday by Microsoft and it is now possible to engage in some comparisons with the competition.
This is what I propose in this
comparative table showing the major tablets available on the market (of
course there are many others, but these are the three main competitors
and best-known) Microsoft Windows 8 Surface Tablet, Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Tablets.
Found between these three main
competitors in the market some common characteristics, such as the
presence of similar sensors (gyroscope, compass, accelerometer) as well
as Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity.
Please note however, to remain in the same field of comparison, it should be noted that Microsoft Surface Tablets
are currently the only ones not to offer 3G/4G version, this is why the
Table shows only the competing models that do not offer, with one
exception, the Galaxy Note 32 GB which has the original and 3G seems not
to exist without, at least not among distributors indicated.
The
iPad remains the only one to offer a screen resolution as important
with its famous Retina to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, and only in the format
as 3/4, while the others are 16/9. However Apple’s tablet continues to
be the only one to not offer USB 2.0 connectivity standard.
The side of the price reported to
storage, the Microsoft Surface Tablet is by far the most competitive
because it appears $499 to $599 against 32 GB for the iPad and $699 for
the Samsung (but including 3G)
Consumers can also choose to purchase
the Type Cover, or the physical keyboard lacks support for multi-touch,
designed to provide a feeling closer to the traditional experience
conveyed through physical keyboards. For Type Cover, USA, are required $
129.99.Microsoft Surface Tablet vs Apple iPad vs Galaxy Note 10.1 Comparison Table:
