Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Hands-on evaluation-the most powerful, professional and productive tablet in history

Microsoft launched the Surface Pro 2 Tablet PC at their New York press conference. Similar to the first-generation Surface Pro tablet, this new 10.1-inch tablet configuration has good enough hardware to convert it into a notebook or even replace a PC ...

Although Surface Pro 2 's profile design and early generations have not changed much, the VAPORMG technology is built with Intel's newest Haswell processor, extending its lifespan and improving its overall performance to become a powerful, fast-moving tablet computer.

According to Microsoft, the Surface Pro 2 's endurance is 75% higher than the first generation, while graphics performance is up 50%, and the overall performance of the machine has increased by 20%. 4GB Pro 2 has GB and 128 GB hard disk space to choose from, while the 8 GB version has 256 GB and GB hard disks available. Microsoft rated it "the most powerful, professional and productive tablet ever built."

One of the biggest changes in Surface Pro 2 is the built-in dual-angle support frame. Like Surface 2, you can push the bracket to a wider angle--55° angle as long as you nudge it backwards. It seems to be ready to be manipulated by the user on the lap, but in this new way you might want to use a virtual keyboard on the screen to enter the spelling.

Flat-panel Surface Pro 2 is still a bit bulky in the hand, and its size is no different from the first-generation Surface Pro tablet. Microsoft also printed a Windows Logo behind Surface Pro 2, and the back of the support frame was printed with Surface lettering on Microsoft's elegant black font. Similarly, Surface 2 also has this new typeface.

On the author's short start feel Surface Pro 2 performance is very good, but previously Surface pro did not feel slow and card phenomenon, so it is difficult to say the performance of fresh flat plate to improve how much, to wait until the real scene in order to better test clearly. The same is true in terms of endurance, but Microsoft's story is impressive, with the new tablet maintaining the same overall size and weight as it did in the first generation, with a 75% increase in endurance. Surface Pro 2 still uses a 1080p display, but Microsoft says the new screen has a 46% increase in color accuracy. Unfortunately, there is no way to compare two models with each other, so it is difficult to make a good measurement.

In addition to the above, Surface Pro 2 also supports the newly launched Power keyboard protection cover and docking dock. According to Microsoft, the Battery protector can provide 30 watts of power for the machine, allowing the Pro 2 tablet to go 2.5 times times the length of its first Surface Pro tablet. The new docking dock can also accommodate the Surface Pro 2 tablet, which is connected to the Power keyboard protection cover, and can provide you with 3 USB 2.0 connectors, a USB 3.0 interface, an audio input and audio output interface, a Mini DisplayPort (mini display Interface) and an Ethernet jack. Microsoft says it allows users to extend to 3840 x 2160 resolution monitors. Microsoft is going to let Surface Pro 2 replace your mainstream computer, so docking is useful here.

On the whole, Surface Pro 2 is more gratifying than the first generation-it runs faster, lasts longer, and is more flexible than it used to be. In conjunction with the upcoming Windows 8.1, Pro 2 May serve as a Windows tablet in this year's sales season, and it could be a rival to many notebooks.
