But the Surface Pro is still more of a PC than a tablet. The Surface RT would be more like the iPad.
The Surface Pro has a Core i5 Intel chip, half the battery life, a couple of fans, is heavier, thicker and gets hot. It has a powered USB 3.0 and can drive a 2560x1440p monitor and has a Micro-SD slot, a full Wacom digitizer and a pressure sensitive pen. Not to mention a full user navigable filesystem Even the latest iPad has none of these features (or disadvantages).
It is more like a convertible truck/car hybrid though and Microsoft still calls it a PC.
- WayneDB 14y agoAbsolutely agree that the Pro is more of a full PC. I have not experienced it getting very hot yet and I did not know that it even had a fan inside of it until I read your post because I never heard it. I have not run any games on it yet though. Mostly I've been browsing, listening to music, exploring the OS and drawing with Sketchbook and Fresh Paint. The major downsides that I have experienced are 1) the terrible trackpad scrolling (no momentum and it's not sensitive enough - like all non-Apple trackpads), 2) Chrome doesn't work very well yet with touch, 3) the pen holder is unusable when charging and 4) there is no Fn lock, so I can't hit F1, F2, etc without pressing Fn. No big show stoppers and I'm hoping all of these can be fixed with new drivers and software in the future.
