Last year, I replaced my paper pencil with a digital one. Reading using a tablet computer is not limited to your desk - I like reading on the couch Surface Pen versus Apple Pencil The contents of the display rotate along with the orientation of the device. With the Surface Pen you can annotate pretty much anything, from PDF's to webpages.
Windows works surprisingly well in Tablet Mode You can switch, close and combine apps using easy to learn gestures.
In tablet mode your apps and start menu are full screen. I was surprised how far Windows has evolved to accommodate touch screens. Windows 10Īfter a rough start, things got better quickly. Look what happens to my face when my patience is tested. The contrast with my Chromebook (that I bought and setup at exactly the same day) couldn't be bigger: the Chromebook was ready to use in just a few minutes. Chromebook only took a few minutes to become usefull after unboxing. It took almost 7 hours before I was able to actually use my new Surface Pro for the thing I bought it. Don't rush or plan to go anywhere, because this process can take hours. :-) Surface Pro, type cover and pen - al sold seperately - because, why just one package if you can have three times as much fun!?Īfter unboxing it's time for updating.
Well, at least you'll get more unboxing fun this way. I think that's stupid in the same way they don't sell cars without steering wheels. Just like the iPad Pro, you need to buy the keyboard and stylus separately. It's Microsoft's take on a tablet computer that can also function as laptop. Because I like working with tablets, I decided to try the Surface Pro.
In order to develop the new Snake '97 update for Windows 10, I needed a PC that could run Visual Studio and had a touch screen. The product line includes desktop, laptop and tablet computers - all equipped with touch screens to enable different kind of PC-interactions beyond the traditional mouse/keyboard input. People praise Microsoft for providing the best possible Windows experience with Surface. This allows for seamless integration between the physical machine and its bits and bytes. The Surface computers are special because Microsoft creates both the hardware and (Windows) software. Microsoft Surfaceįor some years now, Microsoft makes its own computers under the Surface brand. Time to find out if it's any good and how it compares to my other tablet computer, iPad Pro. With the Surface Pen, it's a versatile PC that works in a lot of different ways.
It's a modern tablet computer that can be used as laptop with the type cover. For the past few weeks I have been using the Microsoft Surface Pro as my main computer.
