Surface Pro 4
Table of contents:
The convertible market is booming, that at this point there is no denying it. The main manufacturers are committed to devices that help the user to reconcile mobility and productivity, something for which tablets were not fully prepared.
This is how the Surface range arrived at the time, opening a new market in which manufacturers saw a new vein In the case of In the Microsoft range we are already going for the Surface Pro 4 and everything indicates that very soon we could see the Surface Pro 5, a model that will have strong competition on the market thanks to the arrival of the HP Pro X2 and the Samsung Galaxy Book .
Surface Pro 4
There's little to say about this model that we don't already know. We already did the review at the time, analyzing all the details it offers. The good and the bad in a convertible that has been a reference for other launches.
As a device the Surface Pro 4 is a great laptop that thanks to its lightness and thinness allows us to take it everywhere without issue. A gadget with a great design and very good finishes that is also a generously sized tablet that, as we already said, came with more pretensions than being a consumer screen.
HP Pro X2
The second bet and the first that we saw yesterday is what HP offers with the HP Pro X2, a device aimed at anyone who seeks mobility and productivityin equal parts for what has a 12-inch Full HD resolution screen and a range of efficient processors.
HP wants to take the office and the home computer in a single pack everywhere, for which it has provided it with some specifications matching color and adjusted weight and size so that carrying the device is not too much of a hassle.
Samsung Galaxy Book
The latest model or models, rather, are those that make up Samsung's Galaxy Book family, a strong commitment by the manufacturer Korean for entering a sector under Windows 10 of which we already anticipated the launch a few days ago.
Samsung enters a segment that is more than at odds with a family that offers good features with hallmarks of the brand such as the use of an AMOLED screenand the commitment to a photographic section in which, at least by numbers, it surpasses its rivals.
Comparison in numbers
Leaving aside that everyone can then have their preferences and that one of these models best suits their needs and budget, this is the comparison in specifications, that right now the three models are throwing It is true that the Surface Pro 4, with more time on the market, can be harmed in some sections, but in the absence of having a Surface Pro 5 with us... No However, he can stand up to any of his rivals so let's go there with the numbers.
