Toshiba DynaPad Tablet is a New Rival to Microsoft Surface

In terms of spec, the device features a 1.44 GHz Atom processor and 4GB of memory, so it may not be quite as zippy as a Surface – but it is certainly a little less bulky.

Like the new keyboards, the new Surface Pen is, however, compatible with the Surface Pro 3, so if this were the only upgrade you wanted, you could just pay $60 and use it with your 2014 model.

The hinge on Surface Book, which Microsoft calls a “dynamic fulcrum”, is a sort of coil/accordion design that allows the touchscreen display screen to flex completely back around the rear of the device.

We’re looking at another big improvement here, as the Surface Pro 4 has a 24 percent sharper display. When converting the device into a tablet, the display has a muscle wire lock so you can undock it safely, or pivot the screen around so it functions like a clipboard. There are also interchangeable pen tips, each for different uses.

All this can be done from your wrist.

Of course if you want to get your hands on either of Microsoft’s new handsets you’ll be able to get them on any network at Carphone Warehouse.

But these new Lumias are not the legacy Windows OS phones and the jury is out just how well received they will be. It will be available for $249 (approximately Rs 17,000). The Surface Book combines the features that made its Surface Pro tablets popular – such as the ability to run a full version of Windows – with features that a few traditional laptop users need that may have prevented them from considering the tablet devices like the Surface RT. The RAM in the Surface Book is four times that (8 or 16GB) – this is more than sufficient for not only basic computing but also more intensive applications like video editing. It’s unique, but not the best aspect of Surface Book. The 13.5-inch screen can sense touch or a stylus. The keyboard is a well designed and has a wide touchpad and backlit keys. The company claims it to be two times more powerful than a MacBook. Apple’s iPad Pro is a direct response to the Surface Pro line. And it can be used to connect to Surface Dock. He also noted that more than 75 million devices were already using Windows 10.

It will be available for $1499 (approximately Rs.98,000). While the higher profile maker of graphics tools might not have been affected dramatically, it became less the talk of the town when it came to stylus-enabled Windows tablets.

The Lumia 950XL is a flagship product by any measure, sporting the latest Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) processor, 3GB of RAM, and plenty of storage and connectivity with support for SD Cards up to 200GB.
