comparing iOS to Surface pro is just a example of what is wrong with the article and some of the comments here.
compare osx to the surface pro. Oh wait. OSX doesn't run on anything less than a Macbook Air which weighs 2.8 lbs. It also ships with 80gb and 128gb disk of which I do not know what is available to users. the 80gb air sells at $999 and the 128gb at $1099. And the air doesn't function as a tablet, does not have a touchscreen display etc etc.
Seriously poor reporting here. Compare apples to apples and then buyers can make informed decisions.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI agree that this (MB Air vs Surface Pro) is the larger story, and its not being well covered, but I lay some of that at Microsoft's door rather than the press. Generally there will be a 'press kit' with the demo device which highlights things that the manufacturer thinks are important. I've not seen Microsoft's press kit for the Surface Pro. It has been my experience though that when I have seen the press kit the story written at least mentions all the high points, if only to disagree or dismiss them.
- JuDue 14y agoThis is indeed a very serious problem for Microsoft. Because they are positioning this device as a laptop and a tablet. To not want comparisons with the iPad completely misunderstands what people are expecting from a tablet. Microsoft was very vocal about the iPad being an expensive and useless netbook. And that people don't really want a tablet experience, they want a fully fledged OS. Time will tell.
