Windows RT Tablet(Microsoft Surface) : Does it beat Nexus 10 and iPad 4th generation?

                                                    

Windows is getting a lot of media coverage. Windows RT has many features similar to Windows 8. Microsoft had earlier unveiled its own Windows Surface Tablet with full sized USB 2.0 Port. There are many more Windows RT running tablets like Samsung Ativ Tab, Asus Vivo Tab RT, Dell XPS 10,etc.  All of these tablets are 10 inchers which have capabilities similar to that of desktop OS. Also Windows RT is powered by Microsoft Office 2013. Microsoft has really done a lot to Windows RT. Now, the real question arises: Can Windows RT Tablets take over iOS of iPad 4th generation and Android 4.2 of Nexus 10.

iPad 4th generation doesn't have much new to offer. It is just a upgraded version of iPad 3. It runs on iOS 6.x.x and has many awesome features like dedicated multi-tasking, split keyboard, multi-touch gestures and many more. Most of the apps are optimized for iPad's very own retina display having resolution of 1536 x 2048 pixels. It has pixel density of 264 which is very high. Nexus 10 by Samsung is no less. That device has the maximum resolution Android 4.2 has to offer,ie. 2560 x 1600 pixels with 299ppi. Also, iPad has only 1 gig of RAM while both Nexus 10 and Windows RT have 2GB of RAM. Since, all the 3 devices use different operating system from one another, there is very less comparing. Talking specs wise, Nexus 10 is the most advanced with it's high res screen, 1.7GHz Exynos 5250 chipset and 5MP camera capable of 1080p HD video recording. There are many other goodies included as well but the disappointing factor here is that it has 32GB storage option and no Micro SD expansion slot. iPad too doesn't have micro SD expansion slot however has a 64GB version which can quite well compensate card slot. Both iPad and Nexus 10 have huge application library and many games to choose from.

Windows Surface in the other hand is quite different from both iOS (iPad) and Android(Nexus 10) in terms of UI and application management. There are live tiles and has many Xbox games titles. More interestingly, Windows Surface Tablet also has desktop mode which is more or less like Windows 7. You also get some windows applications like Paint, Notepad and Settings similar to that to Windows 7. Unfortunately, Windows applications are not compatible with this operating system. This device has a special glass and Microsoft boasts it to have very less reflection in this screen. What's good about it is that it has a big and solid kick stand. It is very impressive. There is also a Micro-SD card slot which can take cards upto 128GB. A full sized USB port is a plus. The operating system is very impressive and multi-tasking is very good in this device as well. 
For now Surface Tablet is what has won our heart. We enjoyed it more maybe because this whole thing is new for us. The only thing missing in RT tablets is large application library. The UI as well as settings are pretty neat. The OS is fast and very responsive. The gestures are great as well. The Windows RT is in between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. This is a very good device and can replace your desktop almost completely.
