Meet the new Microsoft Surface Pro

Microsoft has just anounced their latest update to the Surface Pro tablet lineup . The new Surface Pro (not the Surface pro 5) as it is called , is the 5th generation of the tablet lineup which was originally designed as a Jack of all trades tablet which would not being  compromise as rival premuim tablets do . The new Surface pro , equipped with the Base level Core M versions and  the Core i versions including a i5 and i7 option is probably the best bang for buck tablet or basically hybrid laptop even when you compare it against Microsoft's own Surface laptop .

Design

Microsoft has so far skipped the tablet thinning race for some time and therefore this new tablet is no exception , made out of a metal unibody with a kick stand that allows it to lay either in display mode and almost flat (studio mode) . The tablet which now uses a fanless design (hybrid cooling on the i7 version) is also said to be more quiet than the outgoing model , on the side , you can still find a full size USB 3.0 port , mini display and a microSzd expansion slot for further expansion . The sides also contain a magnetic edge which will allow you to paste the surface pen on to while you are on the desk .

Display

Display wise , the new tablet features a 2736x1824 resolution IPS "Pixelsense"display . This is covered by a protective layer of glass which  we believe is Gorilla Glass 5 . The 3:2 display touchscreen display also features 10 finger multitouch as well as support for the new Surface Pen which now supports 4096 pressure level points as well as the Surface Dial - the hockey puck seen on the surface studio allowing you to basically use this as a graphic tablet if need be .

 Hardware options and Price 

Hardware options on the Surface Pro include a base model Core M3 with 4GB of RAM , 128GB SSD storage . And Intel 615 graphics (on chip) , the base model sells for $799

The i5 range includes a 128GB SSD /4GB Ram  option for $999 , and a 256GB/ 8GB option for $1299 .Both models come with Intel 620 graphics .

Finally we have the i7 range which includes the following options -
256GB SSD/8 GB Ram model for $1599 , a 512GB SSD/16GB Ram model for $2199 and a 1TB SSD /16GB Ram option for $2699 . All models come with Intel Iris pro 640 graphics .


All surface models ship with 7th generation processors and Windows 10 Pro installed . The tablets also contain a Office 365 -30 day subscription and it no longer ships with the Surface pen out of the box ($99 if you want to buy it seperately) and also has a optional $159 alcantara covered kehboard cover  . The tablets can be pre ordered starting today , and ships on the 15th of next month(June) along with the Surface Laptop

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
