As personal
data increasing dramatically, it is hard to keep up the data management. For
example, people may have one computer at work, carrying a laptop on the run,
another desktop at home along with a tablet. This becomes very difficult to
store, retrieve and update personal data at different computing devices.
Cloud-based
operating system seem a solution to this problem. All data and software are
store in web server; we only need to organise data and install software on one
cloud-based computing system and no matter which computer we use.
In
addition, there is another approach to manage large amount personal data
between several personal computing devices. More and more people carry a
laptop; connect it with a big monitor at work and one at home. This would
reduce our computing device into two that are a laptop and a tablet. Once
laptop and tablet converge over time, one tablet will be the only computer we
need at work, home, on the run and rest on the coach.
Thus,
Microsoft Surface Pro is likely to be primary personal computing device in the coming
future. It can be used as touch screen tablet for entertaining, laptop with
mini keyboard and powerful PC when connect with a big monitor.
During the period
of PC to Tablet transformation, Microsoft Surface Pro will eventually replace
majority of desktops and laptops. Most Android tablets and iPad with less functionality
will become niche products used primary for recreation. At affordable price
range such as less than 900$, most customs are likely to buy a fully functional
Microsoft Surface Pro instead of 500-700$ Android tablet with limited
functionality.
The users
who are familiar with traditional window desktop interface may not accustom to
the interface of Windows 8. However, creating an integrated and seamless user
experience between the different types of PC devices is the "the Holy
Grail “of modern computing.
