Anyone looking for basically PC with finger touch interface that fits, you might could look at new


With your permission, I would like to share with you my thoughts on the Surface that of Microsoft, and refer to it in comparison to the largest competitor of his iPad (in that article I will refer to tablets by Google, by the way, very quietly, tablet based Android perceive already 41% of the market so if you are a developer Android app rather than referring / developer tablets, maybe you should think about this strategy again ..)
As a tablet without a keyboard, the Surface can be nice to use. Startup screen is constantly updated statuses, so if you have new mail, you will see the icon of the Web application email (why not a dedicated app like that at Apple and competitors?) Updated quantities email inbox. What you do not see it the subject line or mail summary as there is on the iPad you drag the row above. Same goes for running applications - There are plenty of tiles that display icons, which is updated but not small figurines ego of apps running in the background. It exists, but for that you need to make "tribute" to see what is running.
Another significant problem is that the Multi tasking on the screen is very limited. You can see two applications running concurrently when deciding how to distribute them to the screen. This is an improvement over the iPad, but it "low" ego compared to Windows 7 you can run some applications and want to see them all on your screen when you decide on any one what will be its window size.
Another significant example of the problem: The new interface is half-baked. If you enter file manager app or Office, you will return to the graphics screen classic. While the icons in Office 2013 itself extended a finger touch, but with regard to the actions of moving a window, closing, etc., Microsoft forgot that the user is not logged ego in (as a tablet) with a mouse, and a row of windows, icons perform close or minimize - very small touch of a finger. Would be solved ego this easily if Microsoft would just spend New Theme classic desktop icons bigger, it does not have to make up the infrastructure to Theme, that there is more than XP.
Here, have opened the back to give you a diagonal angle to the screen, but this angle is fixed. I'm a tall guy and although the screen is a high quality wide angle view, I like to bend the angle of the screen direct ego view from my eyes to the screen, which means I want a larger viewing angle directly, and I can not do this. Another significant problem is that if you are not on a flat surface (say you're sitting in an armchair or sofa, or sitting east of the equipment ego is on foot), you can not use a combination ego of Surface + keyboard, because unlike any other laptop, ego the keyboard does not have a strong connection catches the screen, you will need to open the back and then look at a curve on the screen and half keyboard will air. Comfortable working that way? No.
In terms of inputs connection, the laptop the Surface is a single USB connection. Apple removed the Mac - Bok Air first with one USB port, changed their minds since then and now has two inputs and USB-3 connection. Microsoft however offer one entrance and is USB-2 connection and a portable machine, it is very limiting. Also interfacing external monitor what-Surface is problematic. It is connected to the HDMI, but most monitors do not come with the simple HDMI connection but with a DVI or VGA connection.
In the past, when Microsoft ego released a new version of the desktop operating system, ego developers raced to compile and update their app to run like better about the new operating system that Microsoft controls in laptop and desktop computers in terms of an operating system.
Today the situation has changed little. More and more software companies prefer to write applications and since to make sure they run on as many browsers as standard. Other companies write Native apps for iPhone and iPad and Android, but they prioritize it according to the market and profitability. IPad market more profitable? Yes, then they will release ego the app first products from Apple, ego then Android and possibly ego desktop or (PC and Mac) version and the House - that the priority has changed radically, and may be that those companies will write an application to Surface only to select "V" Here we also sell / give an application to the Surface. As of today, the amount of apps in the Windows ego Store is small. Microsoft talks about a few thousand, as many of the ones that are nothing more than a shortcut link in your browser.
If there is something good that Apple has done, is to accustom the consumer a different alternative. Apple says consumers: iPad changed our world, much more rested easy with a huge range of applications. You no longer need to stick to your PC, there are hundreds of thousands of cheap or free apps with which you can consume or create content. You're used to Office to read through your document? We have an alternative solution. You took or record things? We have a package that you can easily edit through the device while you're out without the need of your PC (simple editing, it is not a substitute for professional Photoshop or edit content) If we look at the sales graph of Apple, ego people are buying it in droves.
Microsoft has tried the trick of tablets back in the late 90's and more at the beginning of the 2000s. It has not worked ego and people do not buy it. Apple has done wisely in that it first of all normal people new interface based finger touch (and without a thimble) with the iPhone, and after several years she showed people: Here's ego the iPad, is the same interface as the iPhone that you love and use every day, only much larger screen and high quality, with Battery sufficient for you every day - and people love it. Microsoft is trying to copy Apple, but missing that people are not looking PC hand, but are looking for something that is exactly what Apple sells - the iPad.
Anyone looking for basically PC with finger touch interface that fits, you might could look at new laptops with Windows 8, these come with a built Trackpad, but they also have touch screen and they use Intel or AMD processor. In this case all your old apps will work, and you will have the opportunity to work in classic mode, but you can touch the screen and interact. ego
Summary: In my opinion, the Surface is Me-too MICROSOFT she actually tries
