Another new Microsoft product is a 12-inch Surface Pro tablet based on Qualcomm ARM processor. The 2-in-1 device is equipped with a touch screen with support for a stylus, but it can also work in laptop mode when a proprietary keyboard is connected.
The face of the gadget is a 12-inch IPS In Plane Switching (IPS) panels are an expensive option but they have excellent colour accuracy and far greater viewing angles then TN and VA panels (Not that we condone slouching while gaming). They are great for graphics design and photo editing. However, the only downside to IPS panels if that they can sometimes have a slower response time than TN panels. This is the only real problem if you’re a very competitive gamer or want to game in 3D. As of late “IPS” has become a big marketing word. Step into an Apple store and you would be hard pressed talking to someone that didn’t mention Apple’s “brand new IPS Displays!” In fact, Apple is probably one of the biggest marketers of this “new-found” technology. As a business person myself, this is when you have to tip your hat to Apple’s awesome marketing machine. Why? Well, because IPS is actually nothing new. In fact, this technology was originally invented in 1996 by Hitachi..panel with a resolution of 2196x1464 pixels (3:2 aspect ratio) and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. On the rear panel in the area of the main camera there is a magnetic mount for an electronic pen. For the performance of the tablet is responsible for the Snapdragon X Plus processor. The amount of RAM Random Access Memory (RAM) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computers processor. is 16 GB, storage - 256 or 512 GB.
There are no vents in the Surface Pro case, and the cooling system is completely passive. This has made it possible to make the tablet silent. The company also claims that compared to its predecessor, the new Surface Pro is more comfortable when used as a tablet.
Microsoft also introduced a new Surface keyboard for the 12-inch model of the tablet. It still attaches to the device with magnets, but uses a different connector.
Another significant difference between the 12-inch Surface Pro and the other models in the series is the absence of the Surface Connect port, which has been replaced by the universal USB-C With the continued success of the USB interface, there exists a need to adapt USB technology to serve newer computing platforms and devices as they trend toward smaller, thinner and lighter form-factors. Many of these newer platforms and devices are reaching a point where existing USB receptacles and plugs are inhibiting innovation, especially given the relatively large size and internal volume constraints of the Standard-A and Standard-B versions of USB connectors... There are also two USB 3.2 Type-C ports on the chassis, which can be used for charging, data transfer, and connecting up to two 4K monitors at 60Hz.
The list of characteristics of the novelty is completed by a front with a resolution of 1080p, 10-megapixel rear camera and support for a set of intelligent features Copilot Plus.
The price of Microsoft Surface Pro in the U.S. is $799 for the version with 256 GB of storage, the modification with 512 GB costs $899.
