Auslogics Touch-Optimized Defragmenter Ready for Surface Pro 3 Tablet

Auslogics Labs Pty Ltd announced that its touch-enabled defragmenter is ready for Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 tablet.

The Surface Pro 3 is advertised as a laptop replacement that is tailored for basically any task a user would normally use a laptop or desktop PC for. It boasts a 4th generation Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processor, a 12-inch screen, up to 512GB storage and up to 16GB RAM. With Windows 8.1 Pro as the pre-installed OS, the tablet lets a user install and use any desktop application.

Disk Defrag Touch is a disk defragmenter that incorporates the same defragmentation engine as in the company’s Disk Defrag Free. The program includes functionality for optimizing SSD drives and boosting game and app speed, combined with aWindows 8 style interface design that provides consistency for users of Win 8 computers.

Even though the defragmenter can be used on traditional keyboard and mouse PCs, it is touch-enabled and SSD-compatible, which makes it a disk maintenance tool of choice for users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 touch-screen computers and tablets. The gesture controls allow tapping, sliding and swiping to navigate through the application screens and to run all disk care tasks.

This makes a step toward helping users develop better computer maintenance habits. The achievements program introduced in the defragmenter is meant to turn defragmentation from a generally boring task to an experience similar to playing a game. Users are motivated to run regular defragmentation and optimization through a system of awards, achievements and tokens they earn to get to the top level – Supreme Power. The game-like experience helps establish a routine, which serves to ensure efficient drive operation and extends its service life.

“With Microsoft getting pretty close to merging a laptop with a tablet in Surface Pro 3, and with Windows 8 and 8.1 spreading around the globe, Auslogics has been working hard to meet the demands of users of these new technologies,” says Ashley Miller, the company’s PR representative, “Even at version 8.1, Windows remains Windows, which requires proper maintenance to keep running at top speed. The free Auslogics Disk Defrag Touch is a perfect tool for maintaining the speed of any Windows machine, be it a desktop, laptop or a tablet like the brand-new Surface Pro 3; and since our new defragger currently has no equivalent on the market, anyone pre-ordering Microsoft’s new device should take note of this useful tool and download it as soon as they get their new tablet.“

Disk Defrag Touch is available from the publisher’s website.
