Summary
- The Microsoft Surface, released in 2012, features a larger 10.6-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, providing a more spacious viewing experience compared to the Qtek 9000's 3.6-inch TFT resistive touchscreen at 640 x 480 pixels.
- In terms of performance, the Surface is powered by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor with 2GB of RAM, while the Qtek 9000 runs on a single-core Intel XScale CPU with only 64MB of RAM, resulting in significantly better performance for the Surface.
- The Surface has a rear camera of 1.2 MP and a similar selfie camera, whereas the Qtek 9000 offers a slightly higher 1.3 MP rear camera but lacks a front-facing camera.
- Battery capacity favors the Qtek 9000 with 1620 mAh compared to the Surface's 31.5 mAh, although the Surface benefits from a more advanced software experience with Windows RT versus the older Windows Mobile 5.0 on the Qtek.
- Build quality also differs, with the Surface weighing 680.4g and measuring 274.6 x 172 x 9.4 mm, while the Qtek is lighter at 285g and more compact at 131 x 79 x 21 mm.
