The new Microsoft Surface!
« on: June 20, 2012, 03:30:59 AM »
Do you think it will seriously compete with iPad? I do. I think people want the easyness and porability of a tablet with the functionality of a laptop. Hence Surface. Can't wait to see real one!

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

It does look amazing but the fact that it's running Windows 10 S on a $1k device is stupid IMO. Why should I have to pay another $50 to be able to run regular desktop apps?

I didn't notice that. Mine is running Windows pro.

Microsoft having a bad bout of #tunnelvision, surprised to see this with Nadella at the helm, this move is reminiscent of Ballmer times.

And they've been doing so well lately too, poor decision on their part.

Any thoughts on the Surface Book? More of a laptop or tablet? Peoples experience with it?
