agile and not need a keyboard to make the most of it, but new Microsoft Surface Pro a welcome return to innovation

Surface Microsoft Windows 8 Pro - a fascinating combination of tablet and laptop - is the most innovative company in years. But I'm ready to buy one yet.

After testing a new professional field, which has just passed for sale and uses the latest Microsoft operating system, Windows 8, I am putting in the category of a beautiful version 1 product. Or maybe that should be the version 2, and that Microsoft and its hardware partners sold under Windows for years stylus-based tablets running earlier versions of Windows. That time observers know Microsoft is that the company often has a way of doing things correctly with version 3.

"right" is a relative term in a technology ecosystem has changed dramatically since 1990 Microsoft climax, when you ride in the world of personal computing with a virtual monopoly unequaled created and maintained through a range of abusive tactics that led to the brand of antitrust. This case, and the desire of the company to protect its fabulously lucrative Windows and Office software franchises, has led to a decade of high profits, but the sense of community technology that their best days are behind - or even could, sooner than later, become roadkill under the wheels of innovative agile.

I do not exclude a fusion of these years, Microsoft, because it is not clear that society can change its monopoly power in a truly competitive market. However, with products like surface, are not amortized.

Surface

Pro is a supplement to the area line RT - foolishly, in my opinion - was published last year. RT went nowhere in the market for many reasons, including that it does not run standard Windows software. Its only advantage is that the Pro is lighter - just enough to matter when other tablets, even lighter and more generally are available on the device manufacturers Apple and Android. From my point of view, the RT confuse potential customers.

essential things to remember about the Pro surface, there is a highly well-designed reasonably can double as a tablet. The iPad and Android tablets larger screens are touch screen mobile devices that can be used, and not, as well as personal computers for certain tasks.

The Pro starts with a 10.6in screen tablet is touch-enabled Windows 8 as your dashboard. This operating system, despite its unfinished nature, and often confusing, is more about me. (One of the reasons Windows 8 is so confusing is that it can, and often necessary, return to the desktop interface from previous versions of Windows, and is not always clear which applications use this. 's like two operating systems so screwed). The interface "Metro" user (officially called "Modern UI") is a different experience for iOS and Android tablet, but it is intuitive and attractive at first sight. Live Tiles, Windows essentially mini-applications where better to have a great potential for the new operating system Google Android have shown that called widgets.

The Intel Pro provides an advantage to the surface, which, in my set-up of the machine, which led me to use it more like a laptop to a tablet type. It is a real Windows computer. To use it in this way, however, absolutely need a keyboard. In screen keyboard Microsoft is not fun to write, to say the least

Microsoft offers two keypad options, both of which are connected to the tablet and create a team operation. There is a "Touch Cover" ($ 120) with keys that respond to pressure, but does not move his fingers, and a "cover type" much better ($ 130) with keys that move. I found it easy to write with the keyboard, which is not always the case for small appliances. Both keyboards work well as covers the screen. A "corner mouse" bluetooth was very useful, as the touchpad on the keyboard was not to my taste -. Impossible to disable the tap-that-mouse click

I would not buy one now, but I really like the idea of ??a device that can be a real PC
