Microsoft Announces New Tablet

With the introduction of the iPad the tablet race was officially on, and it wasn’t long before other manufactures and developers acknowledge the market need for slate like mobile computers. Today in the Nigerian technology market contenders in the tablet market are Apple’s iPad and Samsung Galaxy tablet. For older consumers that tablet trend was received well even though some people found it difficult migrating from the screen and key broad model they had grown so accustomed to – but that’s where I think this new devices will shine.

A few weeks ago Microsoft announced the existence of a new home-brewed tablet device simply called “surface”. Personally I feel this may be the dawn of a new tablet era or a phenomenal flop, but only time will tell. Let me introduce this new tablet from Microsoft. Yes, the name of the device just  “surface”, I would insert a pun here but it’s been done so much over the last few weeks, I’d rather not. Let’s leave the jokes to the comedians, ok people?

We’ll you may be thinking “oh, it’s just another tablet - big deal”. Well yes, it is another tablet, but it’s a tablet with a twist. 

 Here is the lowdown - the windows surface tablet will be available in two flavours. The first of which is the surface Windows RT (a version of Windows 8) and Surface Windows 8 Pro which will be made available a few weeks later. This later model will be able to play true PC games meaning you could buy or download any standard PC game and run it on the tablet. Impressive, no?

But the real unique features that these devices have would have to be their integrated kickstand which allows you to prop-up the devices leaving your hands free and also a special flip cover which serves as an external keyboard and touchpad which is also magnetically attached so you can pop it off or on as you please. Pretty cool, huh? Yea, we thought so too. 

So all this sounds nice but do you want to know what’s under the hood? Admittedly the specifications of this new device and relatively few but this how, what we know about it stacks up against its future competitors.
