ñ Microsoft SurfacePro 2

We'll have a quick glance on the specs, features, and
suggested prices of these two 2 gadgets for comparison.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 was
first available on January 2013 with a MSRP of $899, which is way above the average of
$499 for a 10-inch tab. This tablet ships with Windows 8.1 operating system and
boasts a 10.6-inch HD LCD, with 1920 x 1080 pixels getting 208 pixels-per-inch (PPI)
on its display. This tablet is geared up with a 4th gen. Quad Core Intel Core
i5 system on its chip. With 4GB or 8GB of RAM, it has plenty of memory for
multi-tasking and running apps. The base version of the Surface Pro has a
staggering 64GB of internal storage, which is an ideal choice for folks looking
to have a lot of games, music, videos, and pictures to store on the fly.
If 64GB isn't
enough and you’re craving for a larger storage space, you can expand its
storage by up to 64GB via microSD card or up to 512GB thru microSDXC. The
camera on this tablet has auto focus, which is not common on all tablets. It
has standard support for Wi-Fi and USB 3.1 connections.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was
released on August 2012 with a MSRP of $499. Running on Android operating
system and is sporting a 10.1-inch TFT with 1,280 x 800 pixels, it displays 149
pixels-per-inch (PPI) making it a bit
dull for a tablet. It supports DLNA, GPS, Graphics Accelerator, HD Playback (up
to 1080p), Microphone, Video (maximum is only 720p), Bluetooth (3.1), Camera (1.9MP
on the front and 5 MP on the back), and Wi-Fi. This uses a 3.5mm connector for
its headphone. The Sensors packs Accelerometer, Digital Compass, GPS, Gyroscope,
Light and Proximity. The touchscreen is made of touch-resistant glass. It has a
base storage of 16GB, but is expandable up to 32GB. This beast uses Quad ARM

of 7,000 mAh -- an above average battery capacity for a 10-inch tablet.
