  • ConclusieHoewel het even duurde voordat de andere fabrikanten zagen dat het Surface-concept voldoende aansloeg om na te volgen, valt er inmiddels heel wat te kiezen als je in de markt bent voor een 2-in-1. De Switch 3 is een leuke en betaalbare kennismaki...

  • Bouwkwaliteit, Specs, Scherm,
  • Geen laptop, Gewicht, Prijs
  • Voor bepaalde toepassingen valt ermee te leven dat de Surface Pro als hybride oplossing niet helemaal uit de verf komt. Op reis is het bijvoorbeeld een veelzijdig werkpaard. Bovendien werkt de tablet prettig snel en is het fijn om op een tablet een volwaa...

  • Handige standaard, Beste Windows 8-tablet, Nauwelijks bloatware voorgeïnstalleerd, Bouwkwaliteit prima in orde, Goede systeemprestaties, Surface-pen leuke toevoeging..
  • maar werkt niet ideaal, Weinig schijfruimte over, Niet handzaam door afmetingen en gewicht
  • Microsoft Surface Pro De eerste Surface Pro van Microsoft is een mooi apparaat en in mijn ogen beter dan welke andere Windows 8-tablet tot nog toe. Microsoft levert bijvoorbeeld geen irritante extra software mee en de bouwkwaliteit van dit apparaat is di...

  • De generatie Y-processors zijn op de markt en dat betekent slanke Windows laptops en tablets. Dat zie je goed terug in de voorgaande vergelijking, zeker als je het 1 op 1 vergelijkt met de Microsoft Surface Pro. De nieuwe processors bieden door het lage...

  • Abstract:  Toen Microsoft in oktober vorig jaar haar eerste tablets introduceerde, stond de techwereld op zijn kop. Een softwaregigant die in de hardware gaat, kan dat wel goed gaan? Haar eerste tablet, de Surface RT, is gericht op de consument, maar blijkt vooralsn...

  • Windows 8 zoals het bedoeld i, Robuust en elegante behuizin, Goede prestatie, Kwalitatief uitmuntend display
  • Erg duu, Slechte accuduu, Standaard niet geleverd met keyboard/cover
  • De Surface Pro is eigenlijk alles wat je verwacht van een convertible voor zakelijk gebruik. De nadruk ligt op 'zakelijk', want de prijs werpt de tablet buiten het bereik van de gemiddelde consument. De karige accuduur spreekt ook niet voor het appara...
