Microsoft’s main goal; Surf Pro 3 looking for MacBook Air crown
Mr. Panos Pana Marathon completed the introduction of Surf Pro 3 with the above sentence addressed to the CE of the company. It was as if he was pointing to Nadella’s help in shaping Surfs’s vision and asking her to believe in the plan. Pana definitely wants to convince us too. He was on stage for 1 hour and praised the uniqueness of this tablet with his toneless voice.
The bitter story that grips most companies at the product launch ceremony is the presence of bloggers and journalists with MacBook Air in different seats. They look good in the dark with the bright Apple logos on the back of the MacBook display. Panos Pana has also seen these Apple lights many times at Microsoft events, and for this reason, a scale was on the stage to make a draw between the Surf Pro 3 and the MacBook Air.
Surfs have always been a strange product.
Surf still stands somewhere between tablets and laptops, the form factor of a tablet with parts and physical like a laptop. People look at it and have a question in their head: “Does it mean that it can have Surfs as much as the iPad app? Does it answer that weird size? Will our confusion between Arti and Pro get better?”
But yesterday Microsoft talked less than the iPad and more than laptops. The acronym for “The Tablet That Can Replace Your Laptop” and the laptop that Microsoft put in Sibel was nothing but the MacBook Air. Stay tuned to Digito for this article on a MacBook Air.
The MacBook Air, which came out of the envelope in 2008, felt like a “product of the future.” The early models were very sensitive and slow, but by early 2010, the car was really moving and attacking. A near-perfect combination of “battery life, speed, lightness, durability and slimness” that made it a workhorse for tech journalists and millions of other consumers. MacBook Air became a vision for a powerful and forward-looking laptop. And that’s exactly why Microsoft wants to pull it off the horse and take its place “as the only symbol of innovation.”
Replacing a laptop is tantamount to solving people’s problems, just as laptops have come to solve, and the biggest problem on Microsoft’s list was “ease of use on foot.” It’s Microsoft’s own term, and Panos Pana says it’s overseeing and judging work to achieve this “god-like” goal.
Definitely the usability on the foot of the Surf Pro 3 has been significantly improved, and most of it is due to the addition of a second magnet strip to the type cover. The new type cover is much closer to the usual laptop keyboards and improves the user experience by leaving a larger pad. But the possibility of adjusting the angle of the cake stand from 22 to 150 degrees should not be neglected arbitrarily. The new hinges make it more flexible and give the user a variety of choices. Both of these improvements have come a long way in resolving user grievances.
Surf design is physically more complex than the hinged design of a laptop.
But while the designs have improved, the overall design of the Surfs is more complex than a laptop, and hence working with it. When using the foot, you will find yourself adjusting the angle and position of the cake, and using the cover will be difficult. It really took Microsoft two years to turn the Surf into a product that could be used on foot, like a laptop, and it must be said that it has finally reached an acceptable limit.
