  Which is a very nice piece of kit by all accounts. The article is wrong by the way. It says, "has not articulated a unique and compelling vision for the future of computing since Apple’s iPhone rocked it to its core in 2007" Yes, the iPhone was a big deal but Linux is and has always been a far bigger deal. Microsoft can out-spend and out-compete anyone on their own turf. They cannot do this with Linux as Android shows. This really does seem to signal that Microsoft may have to become a lot more like Apple in the hardware/software integration stakes. If you think of the very log view (30 years) there is no way any company can build and maintain a monopoly in any one sector indefinitely. What other company has ever been able to do that? The PC market is dwindling. And eventually there will be a third player and then a fourth player. Eventually Microsoft is going to have to port Office to Linux.

  My impression was that thing had a really low res screen.
