Attempting feverishly to make a splash in the tablet market, the Microsoft Surface RT
is the poster child for Microsoft’s new tablet platform in Windows RT.
No doubt there’s an uphill battle ahead of its path already, seeing that
it’s a new platform and all, but more importantly, it begs the question
on how well it can compete with that other poster child taking space
over in Android land – the Google Nexus 10.
As we’ve seen already, there’s a ton of buzz surrounding these
impressive tablets, but all things considered, it’s certain that most
people are dying to know which one is going to give you the most bang
for the buck.
Seeing
that price constraints make the Nexus 10’s design a bit more modest,
rather than premium taste that so many people crave with high-end
devices, we’re going to stick with the Surface RT for having the better
looking design. Overall, the two are very similar in size, but it’s the
tapered edges and “VaporMg” body of the Surface RT that comes off as
something a unconventional amongst tablet designs we’ve seen. Well, it’s
not to say that the Nexus 10 is an ugly duckling, but rather it’s too
cookie cutter to take away from the unique and delicate appearance of
its rival.
Microsoft, for its part, has done a tremendous job in bringing to market a competitive tablet in the Surface RT. On the hardware side, it has a stunning design that’s very unique amongst most things, but on the software end, we see that there’s still plenty of growing up needed for it to tangle with Google has going on with Android. Yeah, it’s not the coolest or most stylish looking tablet we’ve seen around, but we can’t help ourselves drool over the super affordable price tag attached to the Nexus 10. At $400 for the base versions, versus $500 for the Surface RT, there is without doubt a lot more value found with the Nexus 10 – and not to mention, it actually performs handsomely in many areas over its rival. From its snazzy looking display to the complete feel of the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean experience, it goes to show why the Nexus 10 is the clear winner in this comparison. Not only are you going to save a cool $100 in the process, but we’re certain you’ll appreciate the experience more as well.
