Those who believed that Microsoft was going to give up the meat weight of tablet with iOS and Android must think again. IT giant has over two years come with three generations of Land.
The first two generations were launched in two variants each. A Land and Land Pro. Last year Land Pro 3, but no Land 3.
We suspected that it had something to do with the processor, and it was probably true. For now comes the tablet with a brand new Intel Atom x7 four core processor. It also means that Microsoft quietly sweeps Windows RT under the carpet.
Ten hours video
RT was an edition of Windows designed to run on ARM processors as other tablet user.
But now when Intel finally got decent power consumption there is no reason to use ARM, which limits what can be executed by software.
New Land 3 can run everything are made to Windows, and it is notoriously not small.
A bonus with the new processor and low power consumption is that there is no fan. Microsoft promises that one can watch video for ten hours with the board and there are a few hours more than the Pro-big brother.
– We have received very positive feedback on Surface Pro 3 and we are very pleased with sales. Customers in Norway bought better specified models than is usual in the rest of Europe. We have reason to believe that Land 3 will be equally popular. The lower rate, weight, battery life and the ability to run all software developed on Windows means we think this will turn out well the way in school and health store market, says Director for Windows and Surface Microsoft Norway, Christian Almskog.

The two preceding Land editions came with Office installed. This will be continued by the Land 3 is sold with a year subscription to Office 365 Personal included.
The tablet will also pen technology that worked so well in the last Pro edition, but the pen must be purchased as optional 395 million.
The new tablet comes initially in two versions. The cheapest will cost 5500 dollars and have 2GB of RAM and 64GB of work stock. The most expensive costing a thousand lobe more.
As Surface Pro 3 also get Land 3 new Type Cover. In the last version was really usable because it can solve the entire page magnetically to the tablet.
This stiffens it by so much that it works like a real keyboard. But unlike its big brother does not get Land 3:01 kickstand which can be varied infinitely. Instead it in three positions.
– This concerned both cost and space conditions, explains Almskog.
