Surface Pro 4: the evolution towards future computer

 Ten years we talking about the "post-PC" era. And, to date, traditional computers, despite suffering some fluctuations in sales, still massed on the desktops of millions of homes and businesses. Used primarily for work purposes, these machines continue to seek successor. The concept of computing the new Surface Pro 4 delves into the tactile world and extreme mobility.

With few cosmetic changes from the previous device, Microsoft has sought this year to make this hybrid tablet-notebook thinner (8.4 mm) and lightweight (766 grams) device. Manageable despite its 12.3-inch screen, the device has a stylus used for various purposes, such as making freehand notes, make sketches and sketches, or simply design. In addition, you can delete the back like a conventional pencil mine. With a latency and sufficient sensitivity (1024 levels of pressure), losing steam compared with rival iPad Pro, but in general performs very well. It has a hinged foot can be placed in multiple positions. This has been redesigned and is another of the great innovations.Is this the reinvention of the computer?

Well, for many users it is far removed from how they use the computer during working hours. For others, this is the right path. Unify in one device the virtues of both land (tablet and laptop) is a good reason to keep it in mind. The idea conceived for tablets has been, however, rather short for professional purposes. Compared with the previous model, we can confirm that it is quieter and less overheated.

Studies of habits proclaim that most tablet users use them to surf the Internet, see some other series and discharged a couple of applications from time to time. And little more, really. As a working tool are not prepared enough to process some information and work in many others. That's where attacks Microsoft for the third consecutive year. Granting the handling on a computer. And it does, above all, with options such as working with multiple windows open simultaneously.

In the Surface Pro 4 can install programs and traditional desktop software, thanks to its good performance (in testing was available had the Intel i5 processor version), guarantee the fluidity thereof. The device has a USB port, which in turn is used to transfer data, a handy feature and lacking tablets.

It incorporates the new Windows 10 operating system and therefore their services preinstalled. From Edge, as it is now called the Internet Explorer browser, you can easily take notes on the pages consulted, copy the images, highlight, and later transport them to OneNote, service notes. Giving access, in turn, other services like Office which requires licensee or Xbox -from where you can view the available-games. The keyboard, an essential accessory to take advantage, has profoundly improved "trackpad" to behave in a more effective way, thus its handling is even easier and extends the possibilities.

But perhaps it is a dispensable option, Surface Pro 4 has a sensor that can quickly unlock the screen through facial recognition, trying to forget the cumbersome having to continually enter your PIN or password. But where more emphasis has been done this season has been the most natural introduction of Cortana, the virtual assistant, who with a little touch is activated so that the user can add events, request information from the Internet or open certain applications. In Spain it is possible to be done with the new Surface Pro 4 from 999,00 euros.
