Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Threatened By New Windows 10 Feature, Continuum

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 has not even been released yet, but gadget lovers are convinced that it will be the best gadget to rival the Apple iPad series, according to Ecumenical News. Just like other tablet devices, it will also serve as an efficient substitute for traditional desktop computers and laptops.

What makes it stand out is that it will reportedly be powered by the Windows 10 – Microsoft’s new operating system. However, Day Herald has reported that, because of its new OS, the Surface Pro 4 might experience some problems from within.

According to the rumor mill, this upcoming tablet will not work well with one of the features that the Windows 10 boasts of, namely the Continuum. With this new feature, Surface Pro 4 users can easily work on a small device, such as a smartphone, while they are able to view their activity on a larger screen, such as a laptop or desktop computer. Basically, Continuum allows it users to pair two different gadgets and work with them together by casting screens.

Although this particular feature sounds to be pretty stellar, it will reportedly become a problem for Microsoft’s upcoming tablet. If, through Windows 10’s Continuum, users can view their smartphone activity on their bigger laptop or desktop – and vice versa – then, the need for purchasing a Surface Pro 4 tablet is largely diminished. After all, why settle for a tablet, when laptop or desktop activity can now be done on a smartphone.

The report also mentioned that resulting data obtained from a research saw that a number of today’s gadget users have become more interested in spending their money on phablets, instead of tablets – such as the Surface Pro 4. The number of tablet users is reportedly shrinking, primarily due to its bigger screen size. The launching of the Continuum feature does not help its case at all.

As suggested by many, to avoid the Surface Pro 4 from being dismissed by the public once it is launched into the market, Microsoft might want to launch a new, hybrid phablet or smartphone that is still part of the company’s Surface series of devices.
