Surface pro has four types of sensors, ambient light sensor, gyroscopic sensor, accelerometer and compass for navigation. Other specifications include battery life of 42 W-h which is half of that of Surface RT, wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy technology. Available compatible applications are Windows Mail and Messaging, SkyDrive, Internet Explorer 10, Bing,  Xbox Music, Video, and Games and many more. Accessories have a lot of utility with the device and one of them is the touch cover which can be attached to the gadget and works as a touch sensitive keyboard which is extremely responsive and fun to use.

Well this gadget as received mixed reviews till date. Although it has great specifications, yet it has severe drawbacks. The first and foremost is the price. The reported price is $899 which is far more than Apple iPad. We cannot expect surface pro to steal the limelight from the brand iPad and this challenge is very doubtful to most. Moreover an alternate available is the Dell’s latitude 10 tablet with a much lower price quote. Again Microsoft’s Surface Pro can not be considered as a powerful Windows 8 Gaming Tablet also. Surface pro being the new stepping stone of Microsoft in the world of hardware, lacks support of legacy applications, and suffers from poor battery life which will sever many users those who travel a lot and the thickness is twice that of Surface RT. This tablet has been a challenge for Microsoft and we are looking forward to its feedback as soon as it launches in the market.
