The "Forbes" website released the article, Microsoft's new "cheap version" tablet Surface Go is not to meet with Apple's new entry-level iPad, competegy education market, but the sword refers to a variety of industrial application scenarios. It is the industrial tablet that many people have been looking forward to.
After the new Surface Go in yesterday, we need to spend some time to think about the positioning of this device in the combination of Microsoft's Surface equipment. The design of this tablet has focused on the price factor - it passed some rigorous engineering design to achieve a retail price of $ 399 - also made a lot of compromises. Microsoft obviously thinks that this is conducive to its purpose, but what is its purpose?
Apple held an educational theme launch in March that has caused a lot of attention in the Internet, mainly because the iPad series update and price of $ 329 new entry-level iPad. Microsoft also built a tablet that focused on the cloud, and its price is similar to Apple's new entry-level iPad, which may also be similar.
However, although Microsoft will be happy to see the Surface Go take over the education market, there are signs that that is not a real target market.
The first is the architecture. The blog articles published on Surface Go have repeatedly talked about the choice of processors and the benefits brought, but it is obvious that these benefits are at the expense of the ultimate speed.
"This device is driven by Intel's 7th generation Pentium Gold Processor 4415Y, with fanless design, battery life can reach 9 hours. Our team is closely working closely with Intel to optimize power, performance for people's most important tasks per day. And the battery. "
Surprisingly, Microsoft chooses Intel Pentium processors, rather than Intel's more ambitious products, or more future-organized products, such as Snapdragon system chips.
What will the Penium chip support? Traditional application. Unlike chromebook driven by iOS-driven iPad or focus on the network, Windows 10 retains the ability to run the old Windows application. Although there are still many schools that are still running WordStar, but the operation of using older code will be more in a variety, which is difficult to transplant to a newer platform.
Now, Surface Go supports the old applications, which will be able to run a variety of applications in the enterprise space, so it is usually well integrated into the business environment.
Naturally, the product can be used in a variety of environments, so it can take out the office to outdoors. Fortunately, equipped with Intel chips means a fanless cooling is feasible, and the design of the product will not allow annoying air to enter the equipment. Microsoft also offers reinforcement protective covers with MIL military standard specifications.
Other features of the apparatus include: NFC support (using wireless RF identification help management, "Windows Hello" biological identification security feature for conference, "Windows Hello" biometric security function, sufficient to support a day Battery life. Of course, consumers can also use other products of the Surface series such as high-end, expensive Surface Book and Surface Pro. With Surface Go, it is equivalent to a portable product that can easily meet the work needs of the workshop.
Surface Go will become a reliable choice on the education market and adding Windows S and also helps management. Microsoft's blog post also focuses on Office 365, which is not exempt to take Surface Go with the cloud-based ChromeBook comparison. Surface Go is suitable for a variety of scenes, but the real battle may not happen in the education market. This product is expected to appear in many workshops, architectural parks and warehouses. These places require a lightweight, powerful computer that requires traditional applications, with full-day battery life, supports connectivity and clouds, and strong enough.
Microsoft's Surface GO is the industrial tablet that many people have been looking forward to.
