> Microsoft introduced a 28" desktop PC in an era when nobody uses desktops anymore. "a 28" desktop PC" is a bit of an understatement. It's a huge low-latency touch display which works like a drafting table. > nobody uses desktops anymore There's a desktop on most desks in our office. A Macbook is certainly an alternative option but not if you're looking for a large touchscreen display. > For the same price as the new Surface Book i7, I can get an MBP 15" with bigger screen and quad-core CPU If there was really a performance problem I think a lot more people would be upset with what was announced. Last gen means more stability and likely cooler temperature hardware. Also, does the 15" MBP have a detachable/touch screen? Does it come with Windows? These are real considerations for potential Surface adopters. The Macbook is simply a laptop. There's no problem with that, but Surface is selling more than that, so a direct comparison on cost and performance isn't really fair. Or are you suggesting Apple is the only company capable of putting newer hardware into a computer?
