发帖数: 2933 | 1 How Microsoft's Surface tablet got my family through a Hurricane Sandy
outage
By the night of the second day without power, the batteries in all of our
devices had died or were nearly dead. Between my wife and me, we had four
smartphones on hand: her personal HTC One X, my Galaxy S III, a retired
Galaxy S II, and a Galaxy Note II I had to review. I had left the Microsoft
event that previous Friday with a Surface tablet as well, but wasn’t using
it much during the storm.
I decided to fire up the Surface, however, to see if I could charge up one
of the phones while I left the tablet sitting idle. Of course, that worked,
so I also plugged in my wife’s phone afterward, and then the spare phone,
as necessary. All in all, we got a couple of full charges and a few partial
charges out of the Surface and were able to stay connected and keep our kids
entertained until the late the fourth day, when our power returned. It was
a really small thing in the grand scheme of the storm, but afterward I
appreciated that Microsoft decided to put a large battery and standard USB
port on the Surface. I’m sure charging competing mobile device’s wasn’t
high on Microsoft’s priority list when they decided to include USB on the
Surface tablet, but I’m glad they did. It made getting through the storm
and its after effects much easier for my little family at least
