IMicrosoft ilandela ukuhola kwe-Apple

Sekungamashumi eminyaka iMicrosoft ikhiqiza isoftware esebenzisa amakhompiyutha amaningi omuntu emhlabeni, okushiya ukukhiqizwa kwehadiwe kwezinye izinkampani. I-Apple, imbangi yeMicrosoft, ikwenze konke. Ekugcineni, iMicrosoft ivumile ukuthi i-Apple kungenzeka ilungile ...

I-Microsoft, njenge-Apple, ihlose ukukhipha ithebhulethi yayo futhi izozama ukuthengisa ihadiwe nesofthiwe ndawonye. Umnyakazo weMicrosoft uyinselelo ku-Apple, okufakazele ukuthi indlela ephumelela kakhulu yokwakha igajethi esebenziseka kalula yabathengi ukwakha iphakethe lonke.

I-Microsoft yethule ithebhulethi yayo ye-Surface, okufanele iqhudelane ne-Apple iPad - i-Google Android, kanye nabalingani bayo abakhiqiza imishini yekhompyutha. Lena ikhompuyutha yokuqala yokwakheka kwayo emsebenzini weMicrosoft weminyaka engama-37. Uma uthi nhlá, ibukeka ifana kakhulu ne-iPad, kodwa ingabe injalo ngaphandle? iqukethe imibono eminingi emisha futhi ihloselwe neqembu elibanzi lamakhasimende. I-Microsoft Surface iyithebhulethi engu-10,6-intshi esebenzisa i-Windows 8. Kulindeleke ukuthi kube nezinguqulo ezihlukahlukene, kodwa ngayinye izoba nesikrini sokuthinta. Imodeli eyodwa izohlonyiswa ngephrosesa ye-ARM (njenge-iPad) futhi izobukeka njengethebhulethi evamile esebenzisa i-Windows RT. Eyesibili izofakelwa iphrosesa ye-Intel Ivy Bridge futhi izosebenzisa iWindows 8.

Inguqulo ye-Windows RT izoba ngu-9,3mm ubukhulu futhi ibe nesisindo esingu-0,68kg. Izofaka i-kickstand eyakhelwe ngaphakathi. Le nguqulo izothengiswa ngedrayivu engu-32GB noma engu-64GB.

I-Intel-based Surface izosuselwa ku-Windows 8 Pro. Ubukhulu bayo okungenzeka bungu-13,5 mm ubukhulu futhi bunesisindo esingu-0,86 kg. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izohlinzeka ngosekelo lwe-USB 3.0. Le nguqulo izophinde ibe ne-magnesium chassis kanye ne-kickstand eyakhelwe ngaphakathi, kodwa izotholakala ngamadrayivu amakhulu angu-64GB noma angu-128GB. Inguqulo ye-Intel izofaka ukusekelwa okwengeziwe kukayinki wedijithali ngepeni elinamathiselwe ngozibuthe emzimbeni wethebhulethi.

Ngokungeziwe kuthebhulethi ngokwayo, iMicrosoft izobe ithengisa izinhlobo ezimbili zamacala anamathela endaweni kazibuthe ye-Surface. Ngokungafani nekesi le-Apple, elisebenza kuphela njengesivikelo sesikrini nesitendi, I-Microsoft Touch Cover ne-Type Cover yakhelwe ukusebenza njengekhibhodi enosayizi ogcwele ene-trackpad ehlanganisiwe.

Impumelelo emangalisayo ye-Apple, njengamanje okuyinkampani ebaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni, inyakazise ubukhosi be-Microsoft njengengcweti yamakhompyutha. I-Microsoft ayizange idalule amanani entengo noma imininingwane yokutholakala kwethebhulethi yayo, ithi izinhlobo ze-ARM ne-Intel zizofakwa intengo ngokuncintisana ngemikhiqizo efanayo.

Ku-Microsoft, ukwenza ithebhulethi yayo kuwumsebenzi oyingozi. Ngaphandle kokuncintisana kwe-iPad, iWindows iyibhizinisi lobuchwepheshe elinenzuzo kakhulu. Lokhu kusekelwe kakhulu ezinkontilekeni nabakhi bemishini. Ozakwethu bangase bangathandi iqiniso lokuthi umdondoshiya ufuna ukuncintisana nabo emakethe yokuthengisa imishini. Kuze kube manje, iMicrosoft yenze okuhlukile kule ndawo. Yenza i-Xbox 360 edume kakhulu, kodwa impumelelo yaleyo khonsoli yandulelwa iminyaka yokulahlekelwa nezinkinga. I-Kinect nayo iyimpumelelo. Nokho, wawa nesidlali sakhe somculo iZune, okwakufanele aqhudelane ne-iPod.

Kepha ubungozi beMicrosoft busekubeni nokuhlala endleleni eshaywayo nezinkampani zehardware. Phela i-iPad yayisiwathathile amakhasimende ayethenga amalaptop angabizi.
