Microsofts Ipad Killer

Jeeze people, make your own thread to argue about OS. This is about the Surface.

that video made me so uncomfortable..

it's not a laptop you can connect a keyboard to it if you want. I agree with LBjefferies, it'd just a big ass phone that doesn't make calls. Next we will be holding touch pads up to our head.

you realize its a full windows OS, right? Not just some iOS or android mobile bs?

[Wschnitz]

Most are not noticing it has a full OS. Research before you post stuff ignorant people.

Meh, who cares?

Tablets are a fad anyways. They are really just laptops with less functionality and no keyboard. My logical brain cannot comprehend why on Earth the Ipad has become so successful. Oh wait, yeah I can, it's because it has an Apple logo on it.

Funny you should say that, because that's exactly why I got TF101. Except mine has a keyboard, and a 17 hour battery life, and all the functionality I need in a portable computer.

It's the perfect thing to take to class and take notes, never having to worry about plugging in to a socket. It does the R3v, and every other website just fine. It has USB plugs, so I can plug an external hard drive into it.

It also has an SD, and MicroSD card reader built in. So when I'm out and about with either the Gopro, or the T2i, I can just pull the memory card out of the camera, put it in the tablet, and "Oh hey, these shots look fantastic". I don't have to lug around a laptop that's considerably bigger that only has 2 hours of charge to empty out my full SD cards. I did not buy this tablet for this purpose, I had it before both of the cameras. It was just a handy thing instead of buying a shit ton of SD cards.

They have their purpose. Some people think that all computers need to do everything. Quite frankly, if the surface has a great battery life. Even if it's a core i3 processesor, chances are I will be buying it purely on that aspect and replace my tf101 with it.

To each their own though.

even better. Also, I think IBM released a tablet pc back in the day as well but it wasn't really for personal use due to cost

It doesn't matter who did it first, it matters who did it best.

You're thinking of the GRiDPad.

the 1989 MS-DOS OG tablet.
4.5 lbs, 10mhz processor, 2 MB of system memory.

Apparently it needs some work...

It looks like a good replacement for my TF101.
