I predict that a refreshed Surface Pro with Haswell will sell quite well. I know that it is a product I want to buy (or a Transformer with Haswell whichever comes first).
The Surface Pro is an excellent device let down only by battery life IMHO.
- ihsw 13y agoHaswell works well in the laptop space, but Intel's tablet/mobile offerings aren't there yet. About seven months ago an Intel CPU architect/designer did a Q+A session on reddit, and here is a choice quote: > For mobile, we have no choice but to become relevant. As for when, my personal prediction for substantial growth is Q1 2014, domination in 2015.

- boyter 13y agoThe thing is I don't see the Surface Pro as a tablet so much as an ultra-book that can be a tablet. I want it as a highly portable laptop that I can use as a tablet on the way home. For me Surface Pro with 6+ hours of battery life (which Haswell should give it) would be perfect.
- harigov 13y agoI loved Surface Pro but I felt that if they replaced i5 with an Atom [or atleast give it as an option], that would improve the battery life, reduce heat, make it slimmer and cheaper. Overall it would be everything that I want.
