Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Makes Its Way To India

Microsoft started off with a shaky start when it announced the first Surface tablet back in 2012 due to the shabby interface of Windows 8 and well nobody was interested in a hybrid tablet. However times have changed and the latest Surface Pro 4 has evolved into one of the most appreciated Windows tablet and has officially made its way to India.
 
As promised by Satya Nadella CEO of Microsoft last year, the new hybrid tablet will be available in India for pre-order starting today.This will be the first time that the Microsoft Surface tablet will be officially available in the Indian market and it is also the first time, consumers are actually looking forward for the hybrid tablet.

The Surface Pro 4 comes with a sharp 12.3-inch screen which has a resolution of 2736×1824, pretty sharp for its size. Microsoft has managed to keep the footprint of the tablet same as the Surface 3 which has 12-inch display but has added a slightly more real estate. It will be configurable to the latest 6th-generation Intel Core processors and available in 128GB, 256GB storage option for consumers and going up to 512GB for commercial users. It will continue to rock a kickstand at the back and will have a magnesium casing along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 a USB 3.0 port, a microSD card reader, a 3.5mm headset jack, a Mini DisplayPort, and a 9-hour battery life as confirmed by Microsoft.

Of course it will run on the latest Windows 10 update and will also come loaded with Office 365. It will also come with an updated version of the Surface Pen which now comes 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity and a rubberized tip. There is a new ‘eraser’ at the back of the new Surface Pen that doubles as a button, and can be configured to open apps. Cortana or any other function the user wants.

The new Surface also brings in the new Type Cover which will be sold separately for about Rs 12,490. The new keyboard on the type cover has been improved and now offers a proper spacing between the keys like a traditional laptop keyboard.

The new Surface Pro 4 will also make use of Adobe’s updated software fine-tuned for the device to allow designers and developers to interact in a more intuitive way using the touch or the Surface Pen.
