I’m curious to see what price the full blown Windows 8/Ivy Bridge surface will go for later on in the year.
But, Redmond ALWAYS does something so utterly stupid... the Magnetic Power Plug is a pain. Well, this is true but it is a minor pain, as Redmond failed to mark the orientation so you can accidentally put it in backward. If you do, the device doesn’t self-destruct it just doesn’t charge.
That's just dumb. I mean, coming 3-4 years after Apple did it (without polarity concerns), you would think that they would figure out that polarity shouldn't matter. But no.
I’m loving my surface, but I have to pry it away from my kids to even get on it. Getting a 2nd one in December for my kids.
Is it just me or does that phrase seem odd? When assessing quality of life I look at things like family and friends, not by how easy it is to operate an electronic gadget.
Rob Enderle, huh? Well there’s an Apple hater and Microsoft lover going back to the 1990s. Always writing Apple’s obituary back then, multiple times.
So the Surface is great for you Mr Enderle? Terrific. Except that you have no credibility. I’ll reserve judgement on the Surface until I evaluate one myself.
Thank you. I’m happy for your input. I’ve been intrigued with their marketing but I’ve been waiting for the mini iPad to see how I felt about it.
The office software appeals to me on Surface and any number of things. I have the first IPad and will update in a week or so. I think I’ll go with Surface.
Mark my words, we are all going to rue the day that general purpose computing died because of everyone jumping on the wall-garden tablet and smartphone bandwagon.
Well, that was one weird technology review. Sounds like the guy needs some psychological help to me.
Meanwhile, like most new technology, I will wait until they work the kinks out it.
I laughed, I cried, I'll buy it again and again. Better than Cats! /s
Played w/ one last weekend. Interesting product but very much a Gen 1 also. Too heavy for a tablet & needs more power.
