Not a Windows user but I’m certainly excited about PC users moving to a better form factor. Shouldn’t we all be using this form factor 50 years after the idea of the Dynabook:

I held a Surface, but didn’t use it, at the Intel booth at CES. It felt good in my hands.
Any major drawbacks? The iPad feels a little better but it’s not a fully functional computer (e.g. No Photoshop, Xcode, etc)
- csixty4 9y agoI love my Surface Pro 3 but they have notorious cooling problems. I'm looking at getting a near Surface or one of the competitors from HP or Lenovo. Aside from that quirk of the SP3, I can't really think of any issues. I come home and plug it onto a dock where I have a Bluetooth mouse & keyboard as well as a 27" screen & webcam. It's pretty much a regular PC at that point. On the go, it's a touchscreen tablet but running regular apps and browsers. Some apps aren't touch friendly on Windows but they're rare.
