As IPad users of the first hour and Apple desktop user since 2001. I always had different Windows notebook's in business use, specifically I wanted my Sony Vaio Z11 replace the road for a display error as a unit. PS The Z11 is now working together with an external display ...
The good thing is of course not going away.
After the people and the Windows 8 is even better 8.1 repeatedly denigrated, I want to say that the concept of the operating system has been developed to the requirements of the user, the Surface is like today can be a PC and the result is amazing. And it should also be a clue to the industry to be that always complains that the sales figures so much subside ...
The Surface Pro 2 has far exceeded my expectations in all!
+ Display: On request very bright, little reflections, excellent contrast, rich colors and realistic HD resolution not to forget the black level! Is the Vaio Z11 almost equivalent.
+ SSD: The Z11 had Raid SSD, the Surface Pro 2 is much faster, Windows 8.1 will boot in 6 seconds, no more waiting. Restart mutated to wake up from hibernation
+ Speaker: Almost spatial sound, the iPad AIR is no comparison (I think at least 3 speakers are installed spatially separated)
+ Windows 8.1: Perfect for that PC, Windows 7 would have no sense
+ Type Cover: Write as if on a good keyboard with lighting!
+ Processing and material: As with a MacBook Pro, no gaps or inaccuracies
+ Battery life: 14-15 hours in it, a madness performance were rarely in the Windows world, have passed since the firmware update it!
+ Magnetic Charging Cable: Copy of the MagSafe connector, also top quality with USB charging port
+ Touchscreen: very reliable with several fingers and is exactly!
+ Wacom pen with magnetic mount
+ SD Card usable
+ Fast WiFi with standard AC
+ 200 GB Skydrive cloud, though only for 2 years but after all, so you and I can work, meanwhile, also with the 64GB version
+ Using the Type Covers and screen, once the keyboard folded already be incorrect entries ignored, tap the screen are a good size, the pen handy for fine Input passed to the classic Windows desktop
+ Processor line: The bored in the background but is very fast and energy-saving. Unit is only lukewarm!
+ Fan: cooling usually runs passively only under extreme load turns this on, eg benchmarks or playing, volume is then fine, otherwise rest in the box!
+ Graphics: Fast Onboard 4400 HD, is sufficient for this PC and is also suitable for game, really - it just feels none
+ 16: 9 Format: Perfect for connecting an external screen, since the 10.6 inches are too small for daily work on large tables etc.
+ Weight and dimensions compared to a Ultrabook
+ 3 devices in one: Notbook, Tablet and Desktop if someone connects the Surface with the office, docking station is also unfortunately expensive
+ Design
+ All programs available! Also per Virtual Machine ... XP says hello, or OS X with IPad simulation ...
+ Robust impression, no dents or scratches outside the charging port, makes a good impression
Now for the less good sides of the Surface
- Battery: When the time eventually gives up the ghost, it was that an exchange is not intended that this stops a 5 years I think so. The Vaio Z this is almost as good as new even after 4 years. I think the quality makes it;)
- 16: 9: For working on an external display, and movies looked perfect for surfing as it bothers Tablet See Ipad AIR in 4: 3
- Expensive: But only at first sight! The Surface is worth good money and pays for itself
Enclosures is prone to scratching, especially visible when charging port! Not good, please make improvements in Pro 3
- Charging connection per solenoid is fiddly! Also the pin is not inserted bombproof!
- Not upgradeable, no RAM or SSD, please decide before purchase whatever you want!
- Heavy compared to Android or IOS Devices
- Lousy camera, the RT device has better why ask personally on Mr. Ballmer
- Volume: There are installed so good speakers, but when listening to music my always 100% ... Just too quiet ...
- Type Cover touchpad is too rough, therefore too much resistance in the operation, that sucks!
- Product is far too little advertised, that thing can do anything!
People go get the part, but only in the Pro version! Type Cover is almost inevitable due to the classic desktop, a big thanks to the Wacom pen is running the right-click with longer click. I have converted my entire office professional on this equipment and it makes every day pleasure!
