Can’t decide whether to get the Microsoft Surface 3 or the
Surface Pro 3? Choosing tablet goes beyond the form factor so, here we try to
compare Microsoft’s tablet offerings, specs sheet vs. specs sheet.
The first generation of Microsoft tablets were announced in
June 2012 and the tablets attracted many customers but the company failed to
achieve expected sales. The latest generation of the Microsoft tablets are the
surface 3 and surface pro 3.
Both the Microsoft tablets are packed with features that
attract many tablet enthusiasts. We take a look at some of the features and how
the tablets compare against each other.
Performance:
Microsoft markets
the surface pro 3 as a ‘’tablet that can replace your laptop’’. The tablet is
powered by the fourth-generation Intel Core family of processors i3, i5, i7
with clock speed of 1.5GHz/1.9GHz/1.7GHz upto 2.9GHz/3.3GHz. The tablet also
has 4GB/8GB RAM.
The Surface 3
tablets are powered by an Intel Atom x7-Z8700, quad-core 1.6GHz processor. The
tablet is comparatively slow in comparison to the surface pro 3. Experts
suggest that users should opt for the4GB RAM version of surface 3 rather than
the 2GB version as the latter does not have enough memory for running Windows
8.1.
Display:
The surface 3 has a
10.8 –inch multi-touch display with 1920 by 1280 pixels resolution and 213 ppi,
which offers accurate color representation making it an elegant experience for
users.
The surface pro 3
has a slightly bigger screen of 12-inch and supports higher resolution of 2160
by 1440 ppi, which is slightly higher than the surface 3 and due to bigger
screen size.
Both the microsoft
devices have an aspect ratio of 3:2.
Storage:
The surface pro 3 is
available in 64/128/256/512GB options while the Surface 3 is available in
64/128GB versions. The storage for both the tablets can be extended using a
micro SD card.
Camera:
Both the microsoft
tablets are equipped with a front and rear camera. The surface Pro 3 has a 5MP
front-facing camera compared to the 3.5MP front-facing camera of the surface 3.
However, surface 3 has a better 8MP main camera when compared to the 5MP
rear-facing camera of the Surface Pro 3.
