Microsoft makes a regular old laptop: The Surface Laptop
- kensai 9y ago"The Surface Laptop ships with Windows 10 S, the new cut-down Windows 10 SKU Microsoft announced today. Out of the box, the operating system can only run apps from the Windows Store, though it's possible to upgrade it to a full Windows 10 Pro install for $50." It's a good compromise, still, I would have desired this $50 price tag to be around 20. Unfortunately, the Windows Store is still not as rich as we would love it to be to be completely independent of "traditional" applications.
- Hydraulix989 9y agoI wish Microsoft would build hardware that lays on the Pareto Frontier. For example, the Surface RT 1 was both more expensive than the iPad and less capable (no WSA apps). Make it cheaper than the iPad or add value elsewhere. You're not going to beat Apple for "coolness" no matter how hard you try. Needless to say, I'm still going to be using my Thinkpad.
- wbraun 9y agoSo I guess this is the first product shipping with Windows 10 S. Is anyone else scared as much by Windows 10 S as I am? Given that it will be the cheapest option for OEMs I can envision it shipping on the majority of laptops. Being limited to only Windows Store apps seems like a huge attack on open computing.
