re: From iPad to Surface – Day 7: Screen Quality Face-off

I'm not sure what you are trying to compare here. The comparison does not make any sense to me. Of course a picture resampled to a larger resolution will have artifacts. You make it sound like the SurfaceRT can't show the exact same image as the ipad. A picture of text? As long as it isn't a bitmapped font it should scale. Besides the problem with small text on a low dpi screen is that the pixels are not dense enough to draw a sharp image.

On a side not 768p for the SurfaceRT is awful. The Surface Pro is a little better, but I'd like to have seen resolutions similar to a Nexus 10 at least.

Portrait mode actually has grown positively on me as I find I can easily support the surface with one hand and type single handed with the other. Text prediction is so good on surface that I rarely have to ever finish a single word. Because of the extra height on surface, the keyboard obfuscation in portrait mode is virtually unnoticeable.

I notice that you have given little attention to the split screen capability in landscape mode which is a real advantage; work in OneNote MX and run a meeting and chat in a small section to the side.

Just think how much more we all will know in another month!
