This early, Windows fans have been given tons of reasons to snap up the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet once it becomes available. The flagship device, however, is a definitive good buy for the sole reason that it will be powered by Windows 10 on release date, a new report said.
The specs aside, which to begin with are nothing to scoff at if rumors will prove correct that Intel's Skylake processing chips will be on-board as among the headline components, the tablet has generated excitement due to the perception that it will be a killer machine thanks to the upcoming Windows version.
In all likelihood such assumption will be true, as suggested by a Gizmag.com review. The tech site's recent look of Windows 10 on the Surface Pro 3 appears to confirm one thing - that the operating system "could transform the Surface into the futuristic mobile productivity device that Microsoft has been trying to build for years."
This is true with the Surface Pro 3 and there is no reason to believe that the same will apply on the Pro 4 the moment it gets unboxed.
Seamless flow
The real beauty of Windows 10 on a tablet is the smooth transition of functions and interface when the Surface Pro 3, for instance, transforms into a laptop and back. With Windows 8 and 8.1, users were confused but Windows 10 rectified all the mistakes of the past. One example, Gizmag.com said, is that apps automatically take on tablet or desktop mode depending on how they are used.
With Windows 10 on a Surface, "it's hard to grasp just how seamlessly it all flows together," the same report said, adding that the 2-in1 concept first peddled by Microsoft with the Windows 8 makes better sense with Windows 10. And it goes without saying that the same can be expected when the Microsoft operating system starts powering the Pro 4.
Additional benefits
Also with Windows 10 as the main engine, handwriting recognition is coded with improvements that will make the Surface Pen a preferred tool for inputting text or set of instructions on the Surface tablet. The OS is also expected to enhance the touchscreen experience packed with the Surface Pro 4.
The Microsoft Edge browser, the report noted, is also likely to redefine the overall web experience in the Windows platform - both in the mobile device and conventional implementation.
Microsoft will provide Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users starting on July 29. It is believed that the Surface Pro 4 release date will follow shortly, likely in the immediate weeks or even days ahead with.
