Microsoft has Launched Its First Surface Tablet

Oct. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Microsoft, the leader in the field of software, is now trying to involve in new areas. Just a while after releasing Windows8 operating system which can support touch input, this is Microsoft’s first releasing tablet PC Surface in 37 years. It is quite obvious that this new Surface is launched to compete directly with iPad, which is aimed at redefining the whole tablet PC(http://www.tablet-pcuk.com/android-4-0-tablet-pc.html) market. Different from the ipad which Apple defines it as an entertainment tool on the move, Microsoft does not wish Surface to be treated as another tablet PC. Instead, it hopes to produce a product which combines the functions of both PC and tablet because they think that this is the sole way to shift people’s attention to the Surface from the ipad.

Boasting of Intel chip and Windows8 operating system(http://www.tablet-pcuk.com/), it is estimated that this Surface is aimed at the businessmen. Ipad focuses on the entertainment function while the Surface is dedicated to effect mobile working. With the popularity of the intelligent phones and the tablets, less and less people will consider to buy a laptop. According to some analysts, this year, the global sales of PCs would decrease to 357 million, falling 2%. At the same time, the intelligent phones and tablets would have grown at a more rapid rate. The emerging and spreading of the tablet PC, which is due to the development of the internet, has brought large amounts of benefit to the people. For example, even though people have a PC already, they still prefer to own another portable tool which can enable them to scan the web pages and watch videos. However, at the moment the table t cannot fully replace the traditional PC. Just because of this, Microsoft hopes to extend their business scope through this new product. Apart from that, this new Surface tablet is nearly the same in price as the new ipad, so many people thinks that Microsoft is now declaring a war to Apple.
