“We don’t yet know all of Surface’s details”

Typical Micrososft. The proof is in the pudding. Anyone can ship spec sheets

Competition = good.

(I must admit MS isn’t noted for their “user friendly” designs. It will be interesting to see if their hardware is similar)

Last I checked, Microsoft hasn't even done that yet.

I don't think the Surface is a joke, but at the same time, all of these "fanbois" who rave about it being the best thing ever without any real idea of what it can or can't do, must be living in some sort of "reality distortion field".

Or at least, that's how the script goes when people gush over a newly-announced Apple product (which at least includes petty little details like availability date, price, and technical specifications).

I literally have no idea how good or poor a device the Surface (either version) will be, or how it/they will fare against the competitors. And neither does anyone else. Tech punditry is consistently wrong as a rule, so let's actually evaluate reality when it arrives rather than press releases and speculation.
