Why is this superior to having a windows ultrabook (buzzword, i know) + affordable tablet?
Especially now with touch screen laptops, the only utility I see here is the lack of dedicated keyboard, but that's as big an advantage as disadvantage.
- pekk 14y agoI would love to have one of these to do graphics work on the go: runs all the industry stuff with some extra processing power, decent res, and Wacom input (compare to the cost of Cintiq). Hopefully they will be able to improve battery life in later models. But for programming, I can't really understand using a tablet at all, while a normal cheaper laptop will do just fine.
- skc 14y agoBecause people may only want to carry a single device instead of two. Obviously with the poor battery life and weight the Pro doesn't quite get there, but it's clear this is the evolutionary path Microsoft is headed for. Things should get really interesting with each iteration of the device. For now, the device will be considered a flop though.
