Microsoft's message is the Intel Core-based Surface Pro 3 will be 'the tablet that can replace your laptop.'
At a press event in New York earlier today Microsoft executives took subtle jabs at Apple. The Redmond software giant’s CEO Satya Nadella addressed a comment made by Apple CEO Tim Cook in 2012: “You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those aren’t going to be pleasing to the user.” During Nadella’s introduction at the event he stated: “We clearly are not building refrigerators or toasters.” Surface leader Panos Panay also took the opportunity to respond to a quip by Cook last year: “Our competition is confused. They’re turning tablets into PCs and PCs into tablets. Who knows what they’re going to do next?” As part of Panay’s slideshow he had a sign showing two distinct paths, showing Apple is taking their users in two different directions while Microsoft is taking the right path.

Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 has a larger screen than predecessors, and bridges the gap between laptops and tablets
Microsoft took the wraps off of its new, much-rumored Surface Pro 3 at an event in New York City today, and the key takeaway as far as Microsoft is concerned is that this tablet (when paired with the new Type Cover and pen) is designed to replace your laptop. And, for that matter, your tablet. The Surface Pro 3 offers a relatively large (for...
At a presentation in New York, new Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella made it clear that Microsoft, which recently acquired Nokia's handset business, is committed fully to making its own devices, despite a lack of success for its phones and tablets so far.
To top off our cavalcade of Surface coverage today, I present a very quick walk-through of the Surface Pro 3 with a special guest star. So far, the laplet (laptop-tablet) is quite an improvement over the original Surface. Make no mistake: This is a full PC. It has a powerful Intel Core processor — this model contains an i5 and runs as fast as any Windows 8 laptop. The improved hinge ...
