Microsoft support number has
announced a “fundamental revamp” of its Surface tablets, with second generation
models offering improved battery life and processing speed, as well as
addressing criticisms of previous models.
The original Surface andSurface RT (a cheaper, lower-powered device that used a similarly downgraded
operating system) were launched in June last year but failed to sell well,
leading to a $900 million writedown by Microsoft support number for unsold
units.
The new tablets look identical
to the previous generation, offering a tablet form factor, optional covers that
can be used as keyboards and a new kick-stand to prop the device up on laps or
desks. The kick-stand can now be adjusted to two different angles – an
improvement on the previous models that could only be set at a steep angle,
making the ‘laptop’ aspect of the device impractical.
The new tablets have been
designated the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2, although despite removing the
‘RT’ tag attached to the lower priced model it still runs the stripped
down-version of Microsoft support number’s latest operating system, Windows 8.1
RT.
Windows 8 RT was heavilycriticized for its inability to run 'legacy apps' (older software that included
well-known programs such as Photoshop) despite looking identical to Windows 8.
A recent update to the Windows
operating system, Windows 8.1, solved some complaints voiced by users (includingthe absence of a traditional desktop-and-start-button environment) but the
operating system is still unfamiliar for many.
The new Surface tablets both
have full 1080p, 10.1-inch HD screens (previously only available on the pricier
tablet) and upgraded processors. The Surface 2 uses Nvidia’s Tegra 4 1.7GHz
processor whilst the Pro 2 has Intel’s fourth-generation Haswell i5. Battery
life on the Pro 2 is said to be 75 per cent better than the previous generation
with 20 per cent better graphical performance.
Customers also have more memory
and storage options to choose from. The Pro 2 will be available in 64GB and
128GB versions with 4GB of RAM, or with 256GB and 512GB of internal memory and
8GB of RAM. The cheaper Surface either comes with 32GB or 64GB of storage
and 2GB of RAM.
As well as updating the
internal hardware, the new Surface tablets also come bundled with Windows
software. Surface 2 gives users the full Office suite (though last year's
models also did that), "best of Skype" for a year (which includes
free international calling), and 200GB of cloud storage via SkyDrive.
The lower priced model will be
sold for between £359 and £439 whilst the Pro 2 will retail between £719 and
£1,439.
