Surface Pro 3: Dream of replacing Air+iPad
|
Microsoft released the Surface Pro 3 tablet in New York. This 12-inch tablet gives a very good first impression. Combining a laptop and a tablet is the ultimate goal of Microsoft Surface. From the perspective of Surface Pro 3, Microsoft has taken another step towards this goal. At the press conference, Panos Panay, vice president of Microsoft's Surface department, also put the Surface Pro 3 on the scale to compare the weight with the MacBook Air and iPad. The weight of this latest Surface is of course lighter than the weight of the MacBook Air + iPad. Obviously, what Microsoft wants to express is that the Surface can do the work of the Air and iPad, but it is more portable. What really affects the Surface to replace the notebook is not its weight or performance or the comfort of the keyboard, but actually only one factor - whether it can be used on the lap. There is a reason why the notebook was originally called a laptop. Although most of the time the notebook is placed on the table for use, when it comes to mobile scenarios, such as in a meeting place without a table, or on the street, the notebook must be placed on the lap for use. If this usage scenario cannot be achieved, it is unqualified. The first two generations of Surface were like this. The poor keyboard design made it impossible to use it on the lap. This is why the first two generations of Surface were like a four-in-one product, too small compared to a laptop and too large compared to a tablet. The biggest innovation of Surface Pro 3 is the redesign of the keyboard. The new keyboard has an upward angle, which increases stability. Moreover, the overall length of the device will not exceed the range of the knee after the external keyboard is connected. This allows Surface Pro 3 to be used on the lap like an ordinary laptop. After adding this usage scenario, Surface can well unify Windows laptops and Windows tablets. But Microsoft's ambition is not just to unify Windows laptops and tablets. From the on-site weighing link, Microsoft wants to unify all laptops and tablets of the system, including Air and iPad. If Microsoft wants to achieve this goal, it needs to improve one point, which is the display method of screen pixels. The screen resolution of Surface Pro 3 is as high as 2160x1440. Although 2K ultra-high resolution has gradually become the standard for laptops and tablets, the Windows system is not perfect in matching with 2K resolution screens. Apple's OS X system uses four pixels merged into one pixel for display, and this pixel display method works very well with the Retina screen. Microsoft's Windows system uses a simple DPI scaling, and although the screen looks very fine, the effect is not ideal when displaying third-party applications. If Microsoft cannot improve this, it will have no problem replacing Windows laptops and Windows tablets, but it is impossible to really replace Air and iPad.
