Microsoft is now allowing companies to bulk buy their tablets - both surface and RT Pro.Enterprise customers can now place orders for the entire company launches, despite the fact that the version of Pro 128GB surface remains missing.
While buying scheme - first seen by ZDNet - already live, Microsoft admitted customers may experience delays: "The delivery times and order requirements may vary depending on stock."The company will also give preference to existing enterprise customers with new business partners who have to wait longer.
"If you do not have a volume licensing agreement with Microsoft, there may be additional processing time to set up the account and terms of credit," Microsoft said, adding all necessary commercial orders a purchase order valid company.The site is available for commercial orders UK customers, but as the Pro version has yet to be released here only tablets surface RT and accessories are available at present.
Well as tablets and accessories, Microsoft also detailed three-year service extension plans Hardware cost of $ 200 per device for the Pro and $ 150 Surface to Surface RT.The extended warranty is restricted to customers in the U.S. and Canada, and includes a replacement machine to reduce downtime.
"The plan includes the transportation of a replacement unit out before return the product to minimize downtime," Microsoft said. "The Extended Service Plan hardware can be purchased up to 45 days after purchasing the device."
When Microsoft dropped the bombshell that it was launching its own tablet, the company not only risked alienating its PC partners, but detonated his credibility is not showing them how to do it properly.
There is no doubt that Microsoft Surface RT is a serious tablet, but it's good enough to lure people away from their iPads, their Android tablets, or even their laptops? Or is it a mere stopgap until the full-fledged versions of Windows 8 tablet Surface arrive to complement this version based on ARM.
Microsoft made it clear from the beginning that the surface is intended to serve as an example for computer makers, and it is clear that this is not a piece of hardware cliché. Two things stand out make the surface uniform slabs of glass that we have witnessed over the last two years: the kickstand and detachable keyboards
The mechanics are wonderfully simple kickstand. The lower half of the back of the tablet casing moves out to create a backing, turning the device into a pseudo portable when used with one of the keypads. When you finish with the support, he turns back into place, perfectly aligned with the back of the tablet, and satisfactory to the beat of a car door expensive.
However, support is set at a fixed position, leaving no means of adjusting the angle of the screen as you would on a conventional laptop. This left the members of the highest PC Pro team bent awkwardly on the surface that tried to work with the device on a table, although our colleagues had more modest claim.
This angle would be slightly too vertical a much bigger problem if the screen was not as bright 10.6in. The viewing angles are excellent - maybe a little too good to eavesdroppers on a train seat beside.A maximum screen brightness is comparable to 400cd/m2 iPad, and while the surface has a contrast ratio of 3,333:1 striking measured is due to the presence of dynamic contrast.
Flick the pages between dark and bright, and can detect the backlight raising and lowering brightness to compensate. Still, guarantees that the IPS panel palette of bright colors that make up the Windows 8 home screen zing off the screen, and photos and video provide sumptuous levels of saturation.
The 1366 x 768 resolution is not going to cause Apple's engineering department ashamed back to the drawing board, but when you are sitting a foot or so away from the screen surface that does not feel like she has no detail or sharpness.
The tablet feels delicious on hand, too. There are a lot of marketing waffle around the material that forms VaporMg called the box, but he feels strong and soft to the touch. The coal project is commendable discreet black, with just a subtle Windows logo adorning the back.
