postheadericon Surface RT hands on

Although it has its flaws, the new Microsoft device is something new, combining work and leisure in a compact package

Microsoft has released

RT surface, the first Windows device to be designed and built by the company itself and not by its hardware partners. Another thing to note is that the surface RT, the only model currently available with an ARM processor and runs Windows RT. Intel version, called Pro surface, is in preparation.

Windows

RT is a variant of Windows 8, but locked so it can not install desktop applications. This means that no existing Windows software work - everything that comes pre-installed or download in windows. It will run on the new "tablet" personality in Windows 8.

However, RT Surface includes the classic Windows desktop, but Windows 8 form (ie, without the Classic Start menu) and includes most of Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote .


The ability to earn a living by buying RT is to do everything you need to use Office, embedded applications such as Mail, Calendar, and everything you can find in the weak until population where Windows Store.

Windows 8 can be (and usually is) a source of confusion for users familiar with previous versions. Area buyers get help on this - Microsoft line is that there is no need detailed help

"No need for manual movements or hidden from the surface of the track, simply touch the screen and click naturally and not worry about it," said Steven Sinofsky Windows chief at the launch in New York. Unfortunately, learning the nuances of the menu on the right, called charms, for example, usually takes longer, but is essential for some applications.


However, once you're familiar with Windows 8 and the surface generally pleasant to use. The transition between the office and the modern touch user interface will always be a stranger, but it is something that we accept as normal in this operating system dual personality.

Surface

RT is powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, and the performance is satisfactory, although it does not mean anything special. Pinball FX2 is the playable, including, but not without problems. You will not buy the surface for performance or specifications, especially since missing two important elements: the location services GPS and mobile broadband. Wi-Fi only.

elegant


type of coverage is more traditional, but always elegant, really depressed keys making it easy to type at speed. Both keyboards can also be folded back under the device so that there is no need to remove the surface when used in tablet form. The magnetic attachment allows keyboards used by a firm hand, but it is easy to connect and disconnect another detail that is important to the overall experience.

A port on all surfaces

ports provide a standard headphone / headset jack, USB 2.0 for storage or cameras, accessories, micro-video for which you can get VGA or HDMI, microSD and SDXC card slot. There are front and rear cameras. I tried a Skype call Skype with the new Windows 8 Client and it worked fine without headphones required.
Windows RT seems stable, but this is not the case with some applications. Fortunately Windows 8 applications are easy to complete and restart it. Office 2013, although still a project (the final version is promised soon as a free update) without any problem for me.
