Introduction
The new Surface Pro(2017) comes in two models, the m3 and the i5. While both are decent devices, there are a few key differences that could help you decide which is right for you.
The m3 is a lower-power device with a fanless design, while the i5 is a bit more powerful and has a fan. The m3 also has a lower-resolution display, and its battery life isn’t as good as the i5. On the other hand, the m3 is cheaper and lighter, making it a good choice for those who want a Surface Pro but don’t need the extra power or features of the i5.
So, which one should you buy? If you need extra power for things like gaming or video editing, go with the i5. If you just want a basic Surface Pro that’s light and portable, go with the m3.
Specs
The surface pro m sports a 12.3-inch PixelSense display with a resolution of 2736 x 1824 and a 3:2 aspect ratio. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 4. Under the hood, the Surface Pro M is powered by a 7th generation Intel Core m3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage.
Display
The display is one of the most important aspects of any laptop, and the Surface Pro 4 and the iPad Pro are no different. Both have large, high-resolution displays that are perfect for working on. However, there are some differences between them.
The Surface Pro 4 has a 12.3-inch display with a resolution of 2736×1824. This gives it a pixel density of 267 ppi. The iPad Pro has a slightly larger 12.9-inch display, but with a lower resolution of 2048×1536. This gives it a pixel density of 264 ppi.
So, the Surface Pro 4 has a slightly higher resolution and pixel density than the iPad Pro. However, the difference is not really noticeable in use. Both displays are extremely sharp and clear.
Graphics
The Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 in the Core i5 is a step up from the G4 in the m3, but still not as good as the G6 or G7 you’ll find in more expensive options. The Iris Plus Graphics G7 has 48 execution units (EUs) while the G6 has 24 and the G4 just 20.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 has two display options. One is a 12.3-inch PixelSense display with a 2736 x 1824 resolution (267 pixels per inch). The other is a slightly larger, higher resolution 13.5-inch PixelSense display with a 3,000 x 2,000 resolution (267 PPI).
Processor
The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 features a 4th-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. The entry-level $799 configuration comes with an Intel Core i3 chip, but you’ll want to spend at least $899 for a Core i5.
The processor is important, but only to a certain degree. The majority of the apps and programs you use every day don’t require a ton of processing power, and can run just fine on an Intel Core i3 chip. If you’re looking to do more demanding tasks, like video editing or 3D rendering, then you’ll want to step up to a more powerful chip like the Intel Core i5 or i7.
Weight
The Surface Pro 4 is the heaviest Surface Pro yet. It weighs 1.73lbs (786g) without the Type Cover, which adds an additional 0.48lbs (218g). The new Type Cover is backlit and also features a significantly larger glass trackpad.
The base model of the Surface Pro 4 is $899 and includes an Intel Core m3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. The most expensive model is $1,599 and comes with an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
Ports
Ports are physical connectors used to interface electronic components and peripherals with a computer. they come in various shapes and sizes, each with a unique function. common ports include USB, HDMI, VGA, DVI, Ethernet, and audio jacks.
Performance
The iPad Pro has a lot more raw power. It has a slightly faster processor and doubles the amount of RAM. It also has a higher-resolution screen. So, if you’re looking for a tablet that can handle more demanding apps and games, the iPad Pro is the better choice. If you’re primarily looking for a device for browsing the web, watching movies, and reading books, the Surface Pro is a better choice.
Battery life
The battery life of the Surface Pro M is slightly better than the i5, but not by much. The Surface Pro M will last for around 8 hours of use, while the i5 will last for around 7 hours.
Display quality
The Surface Pro has a 12.3″ PixelSense™ display with 2736 x 1824 (267 PPI) resolution, 10-point multi-touch, and exchangeable batteries. The i5 has a 13.4″ PixelSense™ display with 2560 x 1600 (221 PPI) resolution, 10-point multi-touch, and an integrated battery.
Value
The new Surface Pro is a great value compared to other tablets on the market. It has a lot of features that the iPad doesn’t have, and it’s a lot cheaper.The Surface Pro is a great value for the money.
Price
Price is always going to be a relative term, and what one person is willing to pay for a product may be very different from what another person is willing to pay. In general, however, we can define value as thequality of the product in relation to its price.
For example, if you were to buy a pair of shoes for $100 and they lasted you 10 years, we could say that those shoes had good value. On the other hand, if you bought a pair of shoes for $100 and they only lasted you 1 year, we would say that those shoes did not have good value.
It’s important to remember that value is subjective, and what one person may deem as being a good value may not be seen as such by someone else.
Bundles
Bundles are the best way to get the most value for your money when shopping for a Surface Pro. The bundle includes the tablet, keyboard, and pen, as well as a few other accessories. If you’re looking for maximum value, the Surface Pro with Intel Core i5 is the best option.
Conclusion
The Surface Pro M is a great choice for those who need a light and portable machine with good performance. The i5 version is a better choice for those who need more processing power and don’t mind the extra weight.
