The Market Prospect of Microsoft Surface

Both the press conference and the product itself have drawn strong attentions. From the Microsoft Surface reviews, ome hold the view that the success and ascendancy of Microsoft Windows Surface table depends, not only on Apple, the major competitor, but also and mainly on its own. The keyboard cover, displayed on the conference in a way of "One more thing", seems like the decisive factor of where it can go.

With the diversification of IT and variation of users in this mobile internet era, people need a device capable of dealing with all kinds of affairs anytime anywhere at will. So the predominance of traditional notebook is challenged by tablets. But for now, neither iPad nor Android is practical enough. The majority of users are using them for fun instead of for business. They are not so usable for working and creating things, let alone daily writing and code development.

However, ARM-based Surface computer, with Office software and external keyboard and touchpad, would make official work easier. It can be switched to Desktop Mode after connected with external keyboard. So a 1G file can be copied within 5 minutes, which is 5X faster than USB 2.0. So Microsoft Surface can be defined as the combination of notebook and tablet. It is useful and portable, so we can make good use of its small size, portability, convenient operation, great compatibility and long battery life to:

Yes, the most attractive point of Surface tablet computer maybe its bifunctional feature as both a notebook and pad. More significantly, Microsoft turns the toy into a more productive tool. It doesn't matter whether Surface will surpass or replace iPad and Android tab or not, it has bright prospect.
