I'm curious about the Surface, I'd appreciate if you can report your experience on some use cases:
* Can you comfortably hold it with one hand (e.g. for reading a book)?
* Can you comfortably hold it with one hand and type onscreen with the other?
* Can you comfortably type onscreen while holding it with both hands?
* Can you use the Touch Cover and/or Type Cover with the device on your lap (as if you were sitting in an airport, doctor's office, etc.) as you would do with a laptop?
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoIf you've used an iPad 3; it feels close to that weight but it's a wider aspect ratio. Can hold it in one hand but not for long; just fine for two-hand use. You can use the cover just fine in your lap, but will probably have better luck with the Type Cover in that scenario.
- facorreia 14y agoThank you. After watching the original conference at which Surface was announced, I realized it was a game changer for the Microsoft ecosystem and it seemed like a great piece of hardware. The potential to replace 2 devices with one seemed very attractive to me. But after seeing some reviews, it seems this hybrid doesn't function very well as a tablet and neither as a laptop. I'll still have to see someone using it on the lap to understand how the screen is able to stand. Granted it's an edge case but when I'm at airports I tend to do that. Anyway, you reply just made me more curious to try one.
