surface pro and the surface RT this is Adam Lane from packing.com and in this video we're going to do a quick comparison between Microsoft's two new tablet PCs well I've got these here let's talk about the weight a little bit this is the surface pro is two pounds the surface RT is 1.5 pounds these are not heavy at all holding both of them together is lighter than my last tablet which was 4.7 pounds alright let's see how quickly these turn on boot up time is pretty important for tablet you wanted to be ready right away this is the surface pro and that's the surface RT and you see the pros already done and we're in still waiting for the RT which stands for real-time but we're already totally running the pro there we go and we see how slow login happens over there as well but now we're both going and let's see a sleep mode see how quickly that happens instant sleep mode and back RT much quicker resuming from sleep mode next let's do a shutdown just see how quickly that happens there we go shutting two of the pros already off okay so here we are with the Peacekeeper browser test results you see the pro gets much higher score and there's the RT with a much lesser score so let's try a different web page and let's see if we can get it to go as the same time they are they're both loading PocketNow and the pro is done already and let's load a video pro much faster and here we go well we're still waiting come on Artie here we go both browsers work pretty nicely I think the advantage goes to the surface pro it's much faster and loading pages and of course you can install any kind of other web browser that you want on the surface burr because it's Windows 8 let's try and launching the news app surface pro much faster and it's not even loading the today's there we go so that's today's news and we're still on yesterday's news over there there we go now they're both update all right how about some weather again surface pro much faster of course on the surface pro I can install all sorts of real Windows programs so there's like 4 million regular Windows programs that I can stall separately with about 40-something thousand Windows 8 apps in the store those are the ones that the RT can run as well as the pro so for desktop style apps we really only have these four on the RT Word Excel PowerPoint OneNote and this is how quickly they launch whereas over here you get a much much quicker let's see word there's word much faster on the pro now both these have games so I'm going to launch Hydro Thunder and we see the pro is in the lead a bit this is a pretty intensive graphic with the Windows 8 game now we're going to try to play this at the same time I don't know how well we're going to do this it's very difficult to see both of the same time all right you get the idea so in terms of hardware from the front both of these look very very similar however the pro has your stylus on the side there's your microSD slot on the edge it cut you gotta use your fingernail that kind of pit click it in there's your charging port mini DisplayPort power button over here is the volume control USB port and headset jack whereas the arty there's your power connector USB port and mini HD all on this side power and over here is the volume control in headset jack the micro SD card slot is hidden under the kickstand right down there instead of being this long on the side and you see this is a bit thinner there's also a plastic appear with the camera whereas the pro so when it comes to battery life the pro usually around 5 hours depending on what you're doing if you put it to sleep mode a lot obviously you can get a much longer lifespan out of it the arty lasts for much longer but obviously it's slower less capable and not as many programs so if battery life is important to you that's the thing that the arty has going for it the pro on the other hand is extremely powerful and obviously the battery it's going to suffer for that one more thing to look at is the charging cables this one is for the pro you see Pro Windows 8 written there you see Windows RT R and over here this one is much smaller and lighter both have the same connector so you could use either one but the pro has more power and faster charging so I can recharge this in like two and a half hours maybe pretty quick so during lunch recharge no problem this has a longer cable here so you can easily plug this into a power strip with you know lots of other stuff plugged in whereas this is more of a larger brick might have some trouble with room but it folds up really nicely the other thing is that this one includes a USB port so having that extra USB charging port built in really you know cuts down on the amount of chargers that you have to carry it's really nice so there you have it surface pro one of the fastest most powerful tablets out there largest app ecosystem and the surface RT good battery life I guess I'm sure to give this video a thumbs up and that's it for now
