Top 10 Cool Features of Microsoft Surface

Microsoft has been a good competitor in technology since last decades but no one was able to defeat Apple. iPad 2. But after a successful launch of Windows 8 by Microsoft a months ago, now Microsoft has announced this wonderful and best , unique tablet. The tablet is proudly powered by Windows 8 which is the most plus point for Microsoft and we hope that this feature of the Surface Tablet will grab the attention of many people worldwide as for its some great and amazing features.

Here are some of the best and Top 10 Features of Microsoft Surface Tablet, 

Design 

               Microsoft Surface has yet the biggest screens of all iPad and Windows Pro which is 10.6 inches. This is of course a great thing to hear as you have the portability on the move with almost net book sized tablet. The unique simple design of surface makes it really elegant.

Operating System 

              The Other important feature of Surface is that it has Windows 8 as its operating System. Windows 8 is the best windows ever launched months ago by Microsoft. The Angry Birds app is also available in Windows 8 operating system. The Operating System of Microsoft Surface has boosted the popularity of this great Microsoft tablet.

Processor

               The great and extreme performance of surface is boosted by the intel Quad i5 Processor which is actually being missed by Apple and in iPad. Thus the processor makes the Microsoft Surface makes it the Fastest and most durable tablet on the planet. The Processor is luckily incorporated with Nvidia Tegra so as to make it able to perform great tasks and operations to make it stand against Apple iPAD’s.

Battery Timings 

                            The Microsoft surface claims its customers that on full battery charge, it will allow the users to be connected to the tablet for two complete days. I think 48 hours are enough for using the surface tablet for such long hours and stay connected has been made easy for its users gives one more great edge to Microsoft Surface.

Physical Keyboard

                              This is a cute little addition in this Microsoft Tablet and that is a separate attachable support and keyboard with it. Yeah it comes with the physical keyboard to gives it users the optimum performance they can enjoy while working and surfing the web on surface.

Kickstand 

                The most discussed and hot topic about surface is the kickstand feature. If you have the iPad you must have bought the iPad Case or cover for its protection. But Surface has a wonderful free kickstand case for the tablet. A best thing when someone is working for long hours.

 

Connectivity 

                        While talking about iPad you cannot transfer files from iPad to other devices as there is no option of USB port and neither it as some micro SD card slot. But the new Microsoft Surface includes both the features and it contains USB ports as well as micro SD card slot so you can transfer whatever and wherever you want.

Display

                Microsoft Surface has an HD display that is strain free watching. I think the feature would be incredibly new and will be lovely but it’s yet to be seen that whether Microsoft be able to defeat the Retina Display feature of iPad or not.

Thickness

               The Microsoft Surface is a lot slim that other tablets. But it is a bit heavier than other tablets but weight is not a big issue so it should not be thought of as a negative point of Surface, I think it has no issue with the use and fun you can have with this tablet.

 

Price

             Microsoft is always in competition with its marketing fellows and this time too they yet haven’t released the exact price of Microsoft Surface but the representative of Surface tablet told that the price of the tablet will be really competitive to the market rates. Thus we can presume that Microsoft Surface will cost approximately $900-$1000.

Top 10 Fastest Trains in the World

Trains have been the oldest way of transport. Initially trains made were not to fast compare to today’s trains. With the advancement of science and technology in the modern era there are many fastest trains which can travel more than 350 Miles per hour or even more than that. Most of them use Maglev technology which helps them get this much fast speeds.There are other kinds of metro trains too which are now gaining a lot of popularity among growing nations as an intercity fastest way of transportation. Metro trains are designed for small route so they are not that fast. Let’s have a look at the really fastest trains in the World.

 10. ICE V

 ICE V also known as Inter City Experimental Train which was first started in 1988 to interlink European states for the ease of transportation. The ICE V has two passenger locomotives with it and it has the high speeds of 282.8mph (406.9kph) and thus for the very first time in history made the record of the fastest train in the world on May 1st 1988. The train is 372 feet long and can travel 350kph for more passenger locomotives too.

9. Transrapid 06

 Transrapid 06 is a German based train service which works on Maglev technology. This is really awesome built by scientist. In this form train do not directly run on the rails thus reducing friction to its minimum and it speed up due to the magnetic attraction only. It is smoother and quieter than other trains. The train speeds up to 256.4 mph (412kph).

8. Aerotrain

 Aerotrain by France engineers is really an artistic work of them. They worked out a frame work to run the train and make a fastest speed train that runs with air. A special track was designed and it has had a whooping speed of 267.3 mph (430kph). Massive jet engines were used to provide the required air pressure to keep the train moving that fast.

7. MLU002N

 The MLU002N train is not a passenger train; it’s a Japanese test train who achieved the great speed of 267.8mph in a test drive in 1994. The cutely designed awesome train uses combination of aerodynamics brakes and maglev braking system to slow down near stations from such a high speed of 431kph. It is really helpful in creating new yet advanced trains like that for passengers too.

6. Shinkansen

 Shinkansen train was built by Japan Railways Group and it is the bullet train. Apart from the new technology and such fastest speed tracks, this train is capable of getting more speeds even on rail tracks. It run on rail tracks and has a speed of 275mph

5. Transrapid 07

 Transrapid system implemented in Germany is the biggest network of fastest moving trains with the extreme use of the new technology. The idea is great and the train did hit a high speed of 279.6 mph at a test drive. It is a bit costly as the highway tracks for this transrapid system takes long construction time and costs.

4. Transrapid 08

 The beautifully designed sleek look of the Transrapid 08 train by China with high speed of 311.3 mph and it was the first train to cross 300mph speed limit which is an achievement for the design engineers. The speed of 500kph is extremely great and you will love to travel.

3. ML-500R

 ML-500R train is one of the oldest experimentation of engineers to get the fastest train and you will really be surprised to see that such an old Maglev train was able to achieve such a high speed of 321 mph and more surprisingly.It was really a milestone for the people working on the fast track trains. Indeed it broke all previous records.

2. TGV

 TGV is another great train made by French technicians. They did such a successful experiment to make the TGV train which has wheels and runs on normal and conventional train tracks but speed of more than any other maglev train. The train got the high speed of 357mph.

1. MLX01

 MLX01 made by Japanese is No.1 train in the world. MLX01 works on maglev technology The train is able to achieve highest speed of 361 mph which is 581kph. The train consisted of three cars and was run by man the first time it was drove and got such a record breaking speed of 361 mph..
