We compare the Microsoft Surface at RT Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

We take a look at how the surface behaves RT facing Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Form

Surface RT - 274.6x172x9.4mm, 680g

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1  262x180x8.9 mm, 597 g

The area has a distinctive RT, it is much more angular than other tablets of similar size from other manufacturers.

The tablet measures 9.4 mm thick. It is also made of an unusual material - magnesium PVD treated - which gives the device a solid feel.

Other features include a thin but sturdy kickstand on the back of the tablet.

When Microsoft said it worked like a car door, it was not a joke. Resistance to opening and closing is reassuring.

We must also mention the two optional keyboard covers to the extent they are truly part of the concept of hybrid design.

Type the Cover is the best of both. It is slightly thicker and is available in black, but it is much closer to a real keyboard.

The Touch Cover is really viable for the lightest typing functions. It is thinner and comes in a range of colors. It is certainly easier than using a touch screen keyboard, but it is far from being as good as the Type Cover.

Both versions are equipped with a functional trackpad.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is consistent with other devices in the Galaxy. It has a frame balnc or black with silver accents. The overall shape is more rectangular than the iPad, but more than the curved surface.

The centered position of the screen and the bezel width is similar to the surface, and in both cases, the glasses are relatively thin.

This gives these two tablets look very modern and stylish.

Note 10.1 unfortunately inherited the build quality of the Galaxy with a slippery plastic and sticky. This has the effect of giving a cheap look to the device.

Winner - Surface RT

Display

The RT area has a multitouch screen 10.6-inch LCD with HD Microsoft ClearType tehcnologie and 1366x768 resolution.

Cla gives a pixel density of 148 pixels only per inch (ppi), which is surprising because in practice the picture quality is quite impressive.

The text is very easy to read, but the images and videos appear too. The colors, contrast, black depth and brightness are very good.

As its name suggests, the Galaxy Note 10.1 has a PLS LCD screen of 10.1 inches with a 1280x800 pixel resolution and a pixel density of 149ppi.

Winner - Surface RT

The Microsoft Surface RT option of 32 GB and 64 GB capacity and microSDXC for cards up to 64GB.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is configured the same way with suelement plus a 16 GB version

Winner - Equality

Hardware, software and Performance

The Surface RT uses a chip Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core clocked at 1.3 GHz with a semiconductor archtiecture 40 nanometers (nm), 2 GB of RAM and a single-channel ULP GeForce GPU.

This feeds RT Windows quickly enough, but it is also a platform well optimized. The speed of loading applications are not as fast as we would have liked, but it seems that this is due to software rather than a lack of power.

At present there is not much on the Windows Store as graphically demanding games or intensive applications that could help put the proceseur tested.

In general, the application system is not dynamic enough in all areas, which is a shame, but that could change over time.

Another negative RT for Windows is obscure control system, which revolves around sliding movements from the edges to access sub-menus called "Charms".

In our opinion, there are too many gestures, settings menus are distributed illogical and generally anything that is too "scattered" when it should be centralized, localized and easily accessible.

Admittedly, this is in contradiction with the rest of the platform, which seems to make more sense - modern user interface is essentially a giant Start menu and is very similar to the main Home screen Windows Phone as a continuous range of colors shortcuts known as Live Tiles.

There are some excellent features, however. The area has the RT People Hub for aggregating your contacts and messages, Skype integration is superb and the Office suite works fine with the keyboard dock.

In addition, as his opponent, Surface RT also supports a stylus. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is also a quad core system, running on its own Exynos chip 4412 with 2 GB of dual-channel RAM, architecture and 32nm GPU Mali-400MP quad core.

It runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and overall performance is excellent, due in part to the optimization settings of Google and improvements in the user interface Butter.

However, there are some functions where things slow down considerably, particularly, the function of Multiscreen Samsung, which lets you split the screen between two applications.

It works, but it slows performance and it's even worse when you start to use the stylus S-Pen and more.

Apart from that, Android is a very compelling platform on Note 10.1 is fast, intuitive control thanks to the carousel is multitasking Google and you have a choice of about 700,000 applications on Google Play.

The S-Pen stylus is also excellent (apart from the question above Multiscreen) and works particularly well with applications dedicated to the art and photography.

It is difficult to determine a winner because both are really good in terms of power. Regarding operating systems, each with its pros and cons.

However, the main problem with the RT area at the moment is the lack of applications, which, combined with the fact that, unlike real Windows 8 devices, you can not install third party software, which means it is rather limited in scope.

Winner - Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Conclusion

Note the size 10.1 and RT both offer different approaches to the notion of productivity on a tablet.

Note 10.1 The aims at the creation, focusing on pen input and artistic applications, and the flexibility of the Android platform.

RT is the area for the office worker, with its keyboard and its Office suite, but Microsoft has not neglected the use of the style.
