You should tell Phil Schiller and Tim Cook that they need better acting lessons then.
It should be noted that you sound really defensive on this thread. But your signature tells me why. You are invested emotionally and $$$ very heavily into Apple.

No, we should all put Apple's interest's above our own. Remember, Apple makes the most profit and that's all that consumers care about.
Anyone catch this from the presentation?
Panos acted like it was a joke played on him when he was trying to show the Surface Book performance/design. Might have been rehearsed, but funny for sure.
Edit: those who don't get the reference:
"You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but you know those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user." Tim Cook

Sorry but a 4 years Mac is still performing well even with the current OSX, battery is about 90% health, and the the price of resell is higher.
Brand value is the most important thing on this planet
I loved the Surface Pro 3 when I had it. Sold it in anticipation of the Surface 4.
But now that Apple announced the iPad Pro, I'm torn. Agh!

For me money isn't an issue i can go for other brand easy IF it will make sence. You are blinded because these devices are too fresh on your mind with a great actor on stage. Tim Cook doesn't need acting because it has an age where don't believe in his products anymore, He runs a company and thats all
These devices will sell the most to kids that's for sure
If privacy and security were such big seeling points, BlackBerry would still be on top.
So does a 4 years old PC. ie, my VAIO S serie I bought in January 2012 (i'll grant it to you, only ALMOST 4 years). Even more since it has been upgraded on Windows 10. My friend still uses it everyday with no problem and do some casual gaming on it.
As for resale value, if that's so important just buy gold ingot.
Now if brand value is the thing you look for the most, we clearly don't have the same priorities, sorry. I look for usability, power, and convenience. Not the shiny logo behind it.
But how do you really feel?
Actually pretty good my friend. The double standards are quite weird though, just is strange to me. Since I gave it MS there I will take a shot at Apple since it's like 80% Apple hate on here. iPad Pro is a wretched device since it has no expandable memory and no USB-C, which is should have both. No one hardly said anything about that either in that thread. Waste of $$$ if you ask me, but whatever works for people.
I didn't realize how good Win10 was though. So many delusional people on the internet with complaints about it. Jerks. Win10 is perfection, I would turn gay for Satya? I think thats his name.

Windows hardware in the ultrabook category has been selling at or above Apple prices for four years or more. get a clue
By then, I'm sure whatever you can do on the Mac will be doable on iOS with the exception of some esoteric power user stuff.
Besides, I'm not sure you'll have many options since MS and Apple are headed on a collision course towards a new age OS that's optimized for both tablet and clamshell.
It's just that they're coming from a position of their respective strengths... MS is leveraging Windows and Apple is leveraging iOS.
I have been using macosx for the last couple weeks and I am not sure what everyone is praising it about. It is much slower than using Windows 10 and the App Store is a joke when compared to Windows. The windows store has lots of good apps but the Apple Store is mostly junk. The only good thing I can say is that Safari is good and it syncs with the iPhone but other than that I think Windows 10 is a much better OS with much better performance.
I'm really happy to see the Microsoft innovating and moving forward. The Ballmer hears were horrible. Apple needs competition and Microsoft is stepping up their game. In the last 12 months, think how far they've come from say the last 5 years. I hope their Lumina phones get some traction to keep the innovation in the market going.
I'll confess that I am intrigued by the Surface Book, although the name is a little weak. I've thought for a long time that Apple should make an Air that lets you yank the display off and have it function like an iPad. Not sure how the use case would work out, but its definitely intriguing. Also, the idea that their Nokia phones can function as a laptop when docked... didn't Verizon try something like that a while back?
I love my Apple products, but live in a corporate world where I have to use Windows too. Competition is the best thing that can happen to keep the products getting better and better.

Hmm anyone know the bottom end i5 Pro 4 UK price? Wonder how much more then the Surface 3 is at £499?
Stunning hardware, better then Apples laptops if that's what you want of course, does Windows 10 fix the high Dpi issue? Hmm one of these and a Mac Pro is haven to me.

Completely disagree. Yosemite had tons of bugs, but el captain is rock solid. iOS has been solid post-iOS 7.
I think it all hinges on the success of the iPad Pro. If it takes off, and developers support it with higher end applications like Photoshop et al. (which it's capable of supporting to some degree, given its hardware), I believe we'll see that happy medium take place. MS will continually refine their touch based UI, while Apple expands upon the power and flexibility of iOS, and we'll eventually end up with two very similar products.
But if it doesn't, then...well, we'll see.
So now you're an Apple luvin' MS hater?
Of course!
I just hate on both, this is the internet, positivity?? What is that?

If Microsoft just focused on what they do best, Office and Xbox, then those products would be even better. That's just on the consumer side, I know they do well in enterprise as well, so perhaps their cloud and development platform would too get even better.
Eh, I don't think it's that big of a knock against it. The Book is more a convertible laptop you can occasionally use as a pure tablet than an actual standalone tablet like the SP4. It's, er...tabletness is more a bonus feature than a selling point.
edit: though really, I'm not all that stoked about the Surface Book. It's nice, but...eh. I like the actual Surface better.
