Finally the most awaiting Microsoft Surface Tablet PC has been reveled. Few gossips say that Microsoft is completely frustrated with their longtime hardware partners and want to produce the hardware themselves now. This decision of making their own Tablet PC proves that Microsoft doesn’t want to depend on other third party services. It is clearly proved that Microsoft has been struggling to get over Apple from many years now. This bold movement by Microsoft shows how concerned they are about Apple growth. Also Apple have caused a threat to Microsoft empire earlier by its latest products. Keeping all this in mind, Microsoft on Monday has unveiled their first ever Tablet PC, The Surface. So lets check out the technical specifications and the amazing features provided by Surface.

Microsoft Surface Tablet PC:

Market and Availability

Microsoft Surface has been the most awaited tablet computer from many days, and aims to challenge the dominance of might Apple iPad. Looking at the sleek design and the amazing features, Microsoft Surface will not only be a tough competitor for Tablet PC’s, but also for Ultrabooks. And this can be easily achieved by targeting a competitive market like India. News say that Microsoft will launch Surface Tablet PC in the market by end of this year. And also these devices will be sold in few limited stores of U.S. If this is the case, Microsoft has to work a lot on getting a upper hand in Indian market. Because already Tablets like Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPad have conquered the Indian market. Apart from these tablets, you can always expect competition from cheap android tablets. Specially in India, this is seen more often. You can see too many tablets which are below 200$ and are technically as good as the mighty Apple and Samsung Tablets. This is what, Microsoft has to take care of, and also if Microsoft starts to build their own PC’s through its devices and accessories, then all the third party manufactures have a super thin edge to survive the market. They have to really start worrying about this revolutionary step taken by Microsoft.
