Eve V: The "Surface Killer" makes a misfortune on Indiegogo

The Eve V is certainly one of the biggest boxes of the year on Indiegogo. The hybrid tablet of 12.3 "fulfilled its mission in just one hour: reap the modest sum of $ 75,000 to begin its production, and it is not finished, because the device is at $ 575,000 at the time, actual hour.

Will the Eve V succeed in winning against the Microsoft Surface Pro 4? She has every chance on her side, because this tablet that also knows how to act as a laptop, offers many material advantages against the competitor Microsoft. It will benefit first of all the 7th generation of Intel processors (technology Sky Lake), which is not the case of the tablet of Microsoft which runs under the 6th generation of Core i. It will also have two USB-C 3.1 ports (instead of only one in 3.0 for Surface Pro 4), as well as a Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port. In addition, it will enjoy a battery allowing it to hold up to 10 or even 12 hours, where the Surface Pro 4 stops at 6 o'clock. But what is likely to make the difference is its price: the model equipped with a Core i7, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage is announced at 1399 dollars on the platform Indiegogo, a little more than 1310 euros. In comparison and with equal configuration, Surface Pro 4 is displayed at 2449 euros. There is no photo.

The Eve V is actually available in the following three configurations:

• V m3 to $ 699 (instead of $ 999)

         Display: LCD 2736 x 1824 pixels

The device also comes with a $ 39 stylus that is compatible with Microsoft's Windows Ink technology. Each model will be shipped under Windows 10, but it is possible to update the OS in Pro version for an additional $ 50. On the other hand, despite all the good news, we will have to be patient: if the first models were to be delivered in February 2017, we will have to wait until April 2017 for the second production salvo. What leaves Microsoft time to react and release a well-equipped Surface Pro 5, who knows?
