Just yesterday, the new tablet Microsoft Surface It went to pre-sale and some technical characteristics of the device were revealed that were yet to be known, for example, that its screen will have a lower resolution than Retina display of the New iPad: 1366 x 768 in the RT version and 1920 x 1080 in the Windows 8 version, by 2048 x 1536 in the Apple tablet. However, those in Redmond claim that the lower resolution of its screens optimizes some operations on them, such as reading.
Although the official presentation of Microsoft Surface It will take place on October 25, yesterday we had two important news regarding this tablet: we could see its first ad and we met prices (in pre-sale) Of the device. The second question, that of prices, is not quite convincing and different media have criticized that it will cost the same as the iPad, a tablet already fully installed on the market and that does not need to convince anyone of its quality, or that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, perhaps the maximum exponent of the Android operating system in the 10 inches (without forgetting the Transformer). Especially when Windows 8 it is still unknown.
However, Microsoft seems to be clear about things and believes it has a good product, so much so that it considers selling from 3 to 5 million of Surface copies in the next few months. Of course, the number of 200 Euros that was rumored as a price for the tablet will be an entry barrier, since the consumer had made a few expectations no matter how much later they were denied by the company itself.
To begin to shake off that stigma from Microsoft they are launching messages to the media that suggest a technical superiority of Surface compared to the New iPad, despite not having such spectacular a priori specifications. According pick up The Next Web, Stevie Bathich, Manager of the Department of Applied Sciences of the company affirms that a lower resolution in the screens of Surface accompanied by a optimal contrast It is a more effective system for the human eye to be more sensitive to the image, achieving, for example, lower reflections that tend to have a very negative effect on the perception of the screen.
Although the argument makes some sense, it is about questions difficult-to-check techniques without having both devices in front of you, so we will have to wait for the Surface to be launched on the market so that we can appreciate it ourselves.
