Good sales, Surface Pro 3

Last week, we have talked about that Microsoft had some promotion for its new Surface Pro 3. The result is very good, and even better than our expectation.

News from Microsoft said, the promotion result is very good, the sales of Surface Pro 3 in this quarter is better than expectation. Now, Surface Pro 3 has already landed in 28 countries.

Windows 10 will support 1024*600 resolution

Usually operation system has the requirement on the screen resolution when updated. For top consumers, they want the OS supporting 4K or high resolution, and but for lower end market, users would like it supporting lower resolution.

Recently, Windows has launched the Windows 10 preview edition, this new operation system can support a very low resolution display. One news from the blog of Ontablets confirmed that new Windows 10, version number 960 can run in a 1024*600 pixels display. They tried this new OS on the Samsung N150. Its screen resolution is 1024*600. When Windows 8 OS was launched, it can only run in 1024*768 pixels at lowest.

But Microsoft warned that if running in low resolution display, Windows 10 OS may have bugs.

It seems that when Windows 10 runs in low resolution display, it does not have too much limitation. As we know Samsung N150 is quite an old model, it adopts the Intel Atom N450 processor, and owns 2GB DDR2 RAM, when running on this N150, there is no problem happened.

iPad Pro will come with dual operation system?

At beginning of this year, there was news from ontablets.es that Apple will launched one 12.9 inch tablet, iPad Pro. But till now, this unit does not appear, and there is little news about it as well recently. But as our estimation, it may be available in next year.

Some news from Taiwan, the iPad Pro under testing is one 2 in 1 tablet. But it is different with other 2 in 1 tablet which can work as laptop PC and tablet, this iPad Pro is one unit with dual operation system. The operation systems are OS X and iOS.

Maybe that is too crazy for us. But it may be true. Since now, 2 in 1 tablet is very popular, like Surface Pro 3 can work as laptop PC and tablet. So if this new iPad Pro integrates with OS X and iOS operation system. It may mean in near future, iPad can also work like Surface Pro 3. More important, we can see the OS X and iOS are quite similar now, they have many common points.

Except the 12.9 inch big screen size, this iPad Pro will also have 2GB RAM. The performance will be much better than existing iPad.
