Another tablet computer developed by Microsoft is called Surface. It should be noted that this brand has been completely transferred to mobile PCs. Previously, this was the name of the interactive tables of this company.
Initially, there were two models of Surface series mobile tablet computers. The devices differ in a number of technical characteristics. Moreover, their appearance is almost identical. The flagship model of this product line is equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor. It should be noted that this CPU model has only two physical cores.
The younger Microsoft Surface model is powered by an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor. The performance of this CPU is only slightly inferior to the above-mentioned analogue. This is due to the fact that the processor from Nvidia has a 4-core architecture.
Both tablet computers are controlled by the Windows 8 operating system. It is important to note that the younger model uses the ARM version of this system, and the flagship uses the full-fledged final version.
There is a huge difference between the matrices of mobile computers. The older model uses the highest quality display that allows you to activate a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It should be noted that the diagonal of the matrix is only 10.6 inches. At the same time, the matrix of the younger model only supports a resolution of 1280x720. This is far from the best indicator, because the Tegra 3 processor produces Full HD video without difficulty.
The more powerful Microsoft Surface computer has a USB 3.0 interface. This feature allows you to connect external drives with high data transfer rates to the tablet. The younger model, unfortunately, uses the USB 2.0 interface.
Naturally, both tablets are endowed with wireless modules that allow you to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots and synchronize with devices via Bluetooth 3.0. In addition, a keyboard cover with a unique design is supplied with the tablets. It is important to note that this accessory greatly facilitates the work with the tablet computer.
