Google unveils Pixel C, its Surface and iPad Pro competitor

There will be a 12 inch display supporting QHD resolution on offer, while the 14 inch display variant of the Surface Pro 4 could support a slightly higher resolution. As far as the form factor is concerned, it is expected to be made out of the same old magnesium alloy but would be a little thinner and lighter than the Pro 3.

Those trying to decide if the Surface 3 is a viable option over the more powerful Surface Pro 3 and the expected refresh of it coming soon should have a look at the ongoing coverage of the smaller Surface that has appeared here on ZDNet Mobile News.

When the keyboard is connected to the Pixel C, it charges up and a full cycle can last up to two months, the report added. The Surface Pro 4 is rumored to be released this fall, but Microsoft hasn’t given any information about its specs. It will put less stress on the production line, and will also let the users use their existing accessories with the Surface Pro 4, it’s only the matter of time when it is announced. Also, it may fix the heating issues of the Surface.

When Microsoft launched the first Surface tablets in 2012, Apple CEO Tim Cook was quick to respond with derision to the products’ features.

Schmidt likewise didn’t mince words when asked about Microsoft’s place in the technology industry, calling it a “well-run company” that hasn’t “been able to bring state-of-the-art products into the fields we’re talking about yet”. Meaning, all your apps running on PC are going to appear on the Surface Pro 4, or the Windows 10 Phone. As per the speculation, the device is all set to be released in October 2015. Considering that you can practically use the tablet as a laptop with the keyboard extension which is included by default, then battery life was really reasonable but it’s bound to be even better on its successor. According to a Windows Central reader, it includes updates to the “Intel MEI, Surface Integrator, WiFi and Bluetooth drivers, and System Aggregator Firmware”.

There have also been reports of Microsoft introducing 8GB RAM and 16 GB RAM variants of the Surface Pro 4.
