My MacBookPro's screen should have touch and I should be able to simply remove the screen from the unit to have it become my tablet.
Every time I've been to Tyson's, the Microsoft store barely has anyone in it. They would get completely ignored, in fact, if they didn't put a big screen TV with an XBox out in the walk area in front of the store, to attract gamers to play on it a little bit.
Remember condescending commenters, there's nothing wrong with being a fan of something.
I would love to see the MacBook Air go away and have the 12" take its place. It's a full power Laptop when it is docked and an iOS tablet when it is undocked.
I guess the change in user experience on the same device might throw people. I'm sure Apple will find a way to make that experience elegant and seamless.
Right? "Wow, I wish MY laptop held a relative angle between the keyboard and the monitor!" Like that hasn't been a feature of every laptop since the dawn of laptops. The kickstand is actually a step backward, really. Though I'll give them props for pushing something like that as if it's an upgrade...
LOL what a joke.
I have a friend that works at a very large electronic store, umm lets just say they fry things, anyway the most returned item is the Surface Pro 3! LOL
Why are they returned?
Most of the Surface Pros are broken out of the box and the rest are returned, because they suck. Literally, customers do not like the product. Regardless of wether the customers are Win or Mac people, most of the Surface Pros are returned.
Also, employees would rather sell a different product.
The average punter that would actually consider buying a Surface is doing spreadsheets, and probably Word. They're not going to care.
Hey dude what's that? Is that a kickstand?![]()
In the commercial...I don't get why he's so fascinated with the kick stand out of everything.
I will need a new laptop in early 2015 and I'm really tempted by the Surface Pro line. I have been waiting to see if Apple will release the Macbook Air with retina display, but if it's going to be released in October I cannot wait that long. I've always used Windows and am hoping to switch over to a Mac, but I'll still need to install Windows on it. The Surface Pro really looks good but I'm worried about how functional the typecover would be.
Can I use the keyboard on my lap?
...Oh. Well, come back when you've mastered that feature and we'll talk.
And if you could bring your high-end prices down to within a hundred bucks of an equivalent Air, that would be a big plus as well.
One of my other gripes, you can run this software on the Mac but you can't run Apples software on the PC. Very important argument on the iOS vs Android, as you get all of the Google Apps (Chrome, Google Now, Maps, Gmail, OK Google...) but you can't get any of the Apple apps on Andorra such as the snappy Safari and such![]()
Remember, incompetent Apple fanboys, competition is a healthy thing.
