Microsoft Surface or Pro?

Hello, my first blog post! Moving from webs.com to here, feels better. Today, I will talk about Microsoft Surface.

Microsoft Surface is a tablet designed, and upcoming, by Microsoft. We're still waiting for it. On 26th of October 2012, it will be out, with the exiting Metro interface, Windows 8. But, on January 2013, the Microsoft Surface Pro will come out. So which one?

First, lets talk about the hardware. The Microsoft Surface is installed with Windows RT, with Windows 8 interface and some features of it. Dont mix up with Windows 8, its not getting it. An speedy ARM processor, may sound slow, but its pretty speedy. 32GB or 64 for you to choose. Using a magnificent 10.6 Inch ClearType HD screen, people who are seeking an home tablet, you would consider right? But wait... How about Microsoft Surface Pro? You get an Windows 8 Pro (Yes, Professional version) With a Sandy Bridge Dual Core Intel i5 Processor, speedy eh? Definatly better than ARM. Storage 64 and 128 GB, much more larger. Note the difference of the moniter. ClearType FULL HD 10.6 inch. Should be clearer I suppose?  And also Microsoft Surface is only getting USB 2.0 ports, and Pro is getting 3.0, so if you want to try an USB 3.0 port, and you went to get a Microsoft Surface, too bad. Not that I didn't tell you.

Second, software. Windows RT or 8 Pro? It depends on what you need it for. If you are a casual guy (Or woman, I'm not being sexist)  You might want a Microsoft Surface. Windows RT can load webpages, games, Windows Store. If you are a worker, a person that relies on an tablet, well, Microsoft Surface Pro will be the choice.

The Microsoft Surface will make a dent. Like the iPad, it gonna.

So got the difference? If you ask me, I'm getting the Surface Pro. Yes I am getting it.
