Windows 8 powered tablets are supported by Intel Atom processor. Microsoft Surface tablet are made keeping in mind the simplicity and performance of their home PCs and this was full filled by integration of Intel’s Ivy Bridge core i5 processor. It is made in such a way that it matches almost most of the ultra books which are available in the market.
Windows 8 is more about its operating system which runs on Windows 8 Professional. The new operating system is similar in temperament of its earlier version and so the applications and games running on Windows RT can function on this one as well and this gives users a lot of choices to select from. It doesn’t end here – it also supports full office experience including Visio, Access, Outlook, SharePoint Designer, and other business-oriented components of the Office suite but it comes with a price unlike windows RT which only supports Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote which comes along as a package along with Windows RT.
There is a difference between Tablet and Ultra book. And with features like these Microsoft has to gather a big chunk of iPad and Android users which are priced very closely to the Intel-powered tablets.
