After checking to what extent the chinese tablets a good alternative to mid-range Windows tablets, we are going to go with an even more complicated challenge, measuring in our comparative to the new tablet of Microsoft with some 2 in 1 already arriving from China with a seventh generation Intel Core m3 processor, starting with the last one that he presented to us Teclast: Surface Pro vs Teclast X5 Pro.
Designer
Regarding the design we find that they are quite similar, but of course not by chance, but because Microsoft tablets have been the obvious "source of inspiration", not only of this Teclast X5 Pro, but of infinity of the 2 in 1 that arrive to us from China. This means that although the latter is not particularly original, at least we are going to enjoy with it premium materials and the characteristic rear support of the Surface. Regarding the ports, you already know that in these we have a conventional USB ports, while in its rival in the tablet itself we only have a micro-USB, and we have to go to the keyboard to find a conventional USB and another type C.
Dimensions
Regarding the dimensions, it is appreciated that the optimization of the design of the Surface Pro is better and manages to be slightly more compact (29,2 x 20,1 cm against 29,9 x 20,2 cm) but noticeably lighter (768 grams against 911 grams). Regarding thickness, however, we find that it is the Teclast tablet that has some advantage (8,5 mm against 8 mm).
Screen
The screens are very similar but identical in size (12.3 inches against 12.2 inches), but the difference that we are going to appreciate is that of resolution, where the Surface Pro has a huge advantage2736 x 1824 against 1920 x 1200). The X5 Pro It does use, of course, the same 3: 2 aspect ratio, although this is no longer a question of whether or not it has been copied, but this format has been imposed in the field of 2 in 1 Windows.
Unlimited
This section is the one that makes this comparison more interesting, because the X5 Pro It mounts the same seventh generation Intel Core m3 that we will find in the basic model of the Surface Pro And although, of course, with this we have the option to bet on more advanced configurations with an Intel Core i6 or i7, the price goes up considerably. In fact, compared to the more affordable version of the tablet from Microsoft of Teclast has an advantage in the RAM section (4 GB against 8 GB).
Storage capacity
The X5 Pro with respect to the basic model of the Surface Pro in the storage capacity section, with double the internal memory (256 GB against 128 GB), in addition to, of course, also having a card slot micro-SD, which allow us to gain additional space externally.
Cameras
Where the tablet of Teclast It is in the section of cameras, which is quite fortunate because it is where most of us are going to miss having better technical specifications: while with the Surface Pro we are going to enjoy a main camera of 8 SM and another front of 5 SM, those of the X5 Pro sound 5 and 2 MPrespectively.
Autonomy
Although Microsoft has not given the official battery capacity data of the Surface Pro, when they disassembled it in iFixit they found out it was from 5940 mAh, while the one we have in the X5 Pro is 5000 mAh. You already know, in any case, that this does not tell us everything as far as autonomy is concerned, because consumption is just as important and, for example, we have already seen that the resolution of the tablet screen of Teclast it is quite less and therefore should need less energy.
Surface Pro vs Teclast X5 Pro: final balance of the comparison and price
It is a somewhat unfair comparison, it is true, because the Surface Pro It is one of the best Windows tablets, if not the best, that we can find, but precisely for that reason it is a great reference to measure the potential of other more modest ones, and we have been able to verify that the Teclast X5 ProIn fact, he holds the guy reasonably well. Where we lose the most is in the multimedia section, but this is not the main reason why we usually opt for a 2 in 1 Windows.
In return, we can save almost 500 euros, since the Teclast tablet can be found for around 500 Euros (as always, there is quite a bit of variation between importers), while the Surface Pro sells from 950 Euros. In fact, the model that equals the X5 Pro in RAM and storage costs 1500 euros, although it is true that it also takes a significant leap in performance, with an Intel Core i5.
