Recently my friend said that he considers buying a tablet and thinking about a Win8 tablet.
He already owns two quite new laptops. So I asked why he needs a Win8 tablet which main feature is the ability to run desktop apps? If you want a tablet then buy a tablet which has apps designed for tablets.
- scholia 14y agoThe point about Surface Pro being that it can run both desktop apps and tablet apps, without you having to buy or carry two systems....
- dgregd 14y agoSure, but what desktop apps ordinary users are going to run on Win8 tablets?
- danudey 14y agoPhotoshop? Microsoft Office? World of Warcraft? It doesn't really matter what they're going to do, running actual Windows apps is one of the only major selling points of the Surface Pro (along with performance and the pressure-sensitive pen).
