I don't understand Microsoft's logic with the Surface line.
- The Surface Go didn't get updated in 2019, despite having as a main issue its performances.
- The Surface Pro X is the future hardware-wise but has a ton of issue software-wise.
- The Surface Pro 7 is an iterative change and it's been like that since a few years already.
- The Surface Book 2 (the only one I used extensively) is still a mess hardware-wise. The weight and angles feel atrociously weird.
- The Surface Laptop is good but too expensive compared to the competition.
Apple has fixed a few things last year with a MacBook Pro 16" that is nearly perfect and a MacBook Air that gives a lot, I was expecting Microsoft to answer to that with a spec bump of the Go and a reduction in price of the Laptop but it didn't happen.
- capableweb 7y agoMy guess would be that the "Surface" product line doesn't have one deciding visionary that knows and decides what to deploy in the market, that the teams building these things follow. So instead of having a product line that hits each section with a device that makes sense, there is bunch of different devices that are OK, but doesn't make 100% sense for any of the segments, and the devices are overlapping a bunch.
