Understanding Microsoft Surface
The Microsoft Surface is a new range of tablet PC and tablet launched by Microsoft. It would be right to assume that the company has launched this new range to give competition to the numerous Android based tablet PCs ruling the market, particularly the iPad.
With the introduction of Microsoft Surface the company aims to break the monopoly of Google's Android over the tablet industry. Microsoft has played a big gamble with the hope of taking over the industry and becoming the lead Tablet PCs manufacturer. It also hopes to build a platform for the new operating system which is designed to work for conventional computers. Similar external features of Windows RT and Windows 8 Pro

The Windows RT device which goes by the name Microsoft Surface is similar to tablets in its genre and like them operates on the nVidia built ARM based CPU. Many big players in the mobile phone industry are presently using the same in the tablets they manufacture. Some examples are the Samsung Galaxy Tablet series, Apple iPad and Acer Transformer models.
With options for the same already available, how does Microsoft hope to make a mark with its product? The answer lies in Microsoft's modern designs, wide selection of colors and novel accessories. Apart from these features it is also a terrific device for gaming, net browsing and media consumption which is what will make Windows RT create a niche for itself among users.

Microsoft Surface Pro is the much hyped about laptop/tablet hybrid which its competitors need to watch out for. While the device is all set to make its place in the Ultrabooks market based entirely on its specification, it has distinguishable features which would also categorize it as being a tablet with an attachable keyboard and a touchscreen laptop.
Microsoft ensures that the Surface Windows 8 Pro is one up on the other hybrids currently available in the market. It has one major advantage to its credit; it can be operated as a touchscreen device along with its Metro style interface and it can also operate the new desktop for Windows 8 Operating System. This device is the ideal solution for individuals who desire a little flexibility and are not affected by a little larger and slightly weightier device as long as it is good for mobile computing.Overview
You see with a name like Microsoft there is no need for introduction or marketing gimmicks to sell products. Yet, there is no denying there is already a big market where availability is concerned and consumers are not lacking for choice. How successful the two devices are in influencing the market remains to be seen.
Having said that I would like to add, the Windows 8 Pro is frankly quite an innovative device. It is better than the hybrids already in the market and should be capable of holding the interest of those who desire change, convenience and a technically more efficient product. Going by these facts there appears to be little doubt that it will especially give the Apple iPad a run for its money.
Windows 8 is placing Microsoft in a superior position over all its competitors and this will surely be the benchmark with which future tablets, laptops and hybrids will be gauged.
