Evolution of the Microsoft Surface
Surfaces are present in 7 products each of which has advantages and disadvantages. The first three products of Surface may seem like a trial project because they are both followed by the “Pro” version which was launched shortly after the “non-Pro” version. All Surfaces variants have one common goal of exclusivity. Microsoft presents a Surface series to compete with Apple.
Microsoft wants to present something more exclusive to its users because during this time Microsoft is better known for a software and Windows series. Microsoft wants to create all-Microsoft stuff, unlike their software that can be used in all computers and supported phones and tablets. Here is the evolution of the Surface series:
- Microsoft Surface RT
- Microsoft Surface 2 Pro
- Microsoft Surface 3
- Microsoft Surface Pro 3
- Microsoft Surface Pro 4
- Microsoft Surface Book
- Microsoft Surface Studio
