I don't think his post and reason are highly analytic. Rather its result of working so hard to find out even smallest issue with Microsoft's new product No product are perfect in that regard. Remember first iPhone ? first Android ? first iPad ? Camera viewpoint doesn't cover your face when you put tablet on kickstand mode? put it little away. what's wrong. Other leading tablets in market doesn't even have one. Its been stated design wonder along with cover with keyboard. Should appreciate instead. All issues noted in this article are exaggeration except the live sign-in bug while saving office doc.

Brent the author here. "Even the smallest issue" - errr, if the big selling point of the tablet is the keyboard, and Word can't keep up with me typing, that's not a small issue for me. I can understand how it would be a small issue for most folks, because most folks don't use tablets for Office. I wanted this tablet because it was specifically marketed as the work-friendly tablet. If I move the tablet far enough away that I'm in the picture, then I can't touch the keyboard. That's a problem.

  "Can you honestly tell us you watched the videos?" - Yes I did. But my main point is, the post, isn't kinda review. Kickstand issue and mail app issues , isn't that big to be dither about. Approach to response should be more sort of balanced rather than fault-finding and whining. " it was specifically marketed as the work-friendly tablet." - But that doesn't mean that we should expect powerhouse performance and after all its RT. Wait for pro if you want that performance. At least it is doing something better than other competition? No one can deny that its better in terms of "work-ready" than iPad or Android tab. Instead of whining about small issues why can't be appreciate what they are trying to build ? "They are not competing against first generation offering. This is not some child thats needs love and support. This is a commercial product from a for-profit company at a high price." - Its something like complaining why new hybrid car in market not running x miles at xx speed , when a company brings new hybrid car in market at the time every car maker are busy making gas cars. There are lots of thing promising about Surface. USB port, Smart Glass, Solid hardware, Office etc. Following is the post I would call more natural balanced response. http://mattblogsit.com/2012/10/27/is-the-microsoft-surface-for-me/ http://mattblogsit.com/2012/10/27/is-the-microsoft-surface-f... There are flaws out there. But which product in world don't have them. Are they something, which you can claim that, you are returning your product for ?

As for your phrasing of his complaints as "the smallest issues" He is going through the two most obvious and common usecases. Typing a document and saving that document, and checking his email. The device is locked down, its one of the few uses they aim for and you are allowed to do.

Can you honestly tell us you watched the videos? I struggle to believe you did. Nobody who did could claim this: > Rather its result of working so hard to find out even smallest issue with Microsoft's new product Those were not "small issues." Very far from it. In fact all of the software issues he showed us were a big damn deal. The kick-stand one could claim is a minor whine. Seems like you literally watched just the first video and then came and commented.
