Microsoft has been trying quite hard to get the attention of the tablet consumer for the last few years and after a couple of failed attempts, it might have finally come up with a version of the Surface Pro that is well worth the money. For the most part, consumers were not happy with the overall costs of the Surface Pro from Microsoft, even though it does come with a full version of the Windows operating system on it.
If the Surface Pro got your attention back in the day, you could be expected to pay up to $1,000 depending on the model that you wanted. With other, faster, more portable tablets like the iPad from Apple and the Galaxy Tab series from Samsung on the market already, consumers did not have a hard time choosing which one they wanted. At the time, the tablet was seen as just another gadget to have lying around the house, but today, it has become the main computer in the home.
That is where Microsoft is going to grow the tablet market, when they could not before. The Surface Pro 3 is on the market and being compared to the laptops from Apple and since consumers know that, it is time to start looking ahead at the next version, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4. Microsoft is saying that the Surface Pro tablet is going to replace the laptop in your home.
Coming with just as much power, a screen that is large enough and touchscreen ability, the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 takes the cake in many cases when compared to the MacBook from Apple. The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is expected to come to the market with specs that are even better. Specs that include a 4k display, super fast Intel processors, 1TB of hard drive space, LTE connectivity and a battery that is supposed to last up to 10 hours. If these specs are true at all, the fourth edition to the Surface lineup will be pretty sweet.
Other than having a full version of Windows 10 to run, plenty of hard drive space, 4k resolution and XBox game streaming support, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is also going to have a camera on the rear that can record 1080p video. One thing that might shock the consumers out there is the price tag. According to analysts from the industry, Microsoft is planning to start the pricing at $1,200, with the top model coming in at just over the $2,000 price range.
