I like the Pro, but the non-Pro Surface doesn't strike me as any more competitive than last year's model. It's heavier than it's main competitor with lower resolution and orders of magnitude fewer apps. And it does nothing to address the wave of great mini tablets. Maybe I'm alone here, but I don't want to hold anything heavier than a pound for more than a few minutes.
Also, with iOS 7 rolling out, MS is going to have a lot harder time playing the "fresh new interface" card.
- pjmlp 13y agoGiven that iOS 7 is a copy of what MS and Google were already offering on their systems, why not?
- saturdaysaint 13y agoBecause there are already more people using iOS 7 every hour of their day than ever actually used Metro or any single variant of Android. Who was first is pretty irrelevant to average Joe/Jane picking their next phone.
- pjmlp 13y agoOnly in US, in the rest of the world it is a different story.
- saturdaysaint 13y agoMetro isn't popular in any country that you could call a leading indicator of OS success, and there is no consistent Android UI to speak of anywhere.
