This may hurt my popularity here but our family actually just bought a Win8 touchscreen for my wife to replace her Win7 laptop.
She had kind of wanted Apple kit, but the Price was Wrong, and the Metro^W "Windows 8 Modern U/I" interface was actually more appealing to her than the checkerboard-of-apps approach.
Although I think the thing that drove her decision in the end was the educational and other Windows-only apps, which is kind of ironic... educational apps are the reason we have an iPad in the first place.
- gibwell 13y agoWas she considering an Apple laptop, or an iPad? Are the educational apps ones for her to use herself, or ones she'll use for teaching kids? Also, are they apps she already has and wants to keep running, or ones she will buy now that she has the new machine? Finally are they Metro Apps, or traditional windows apps?
- mpyne 13y agoShe was considering a "real" computer, yes. Ones she'll use for her own kids, but not for teaching per se. Yes, Maybe, None Yet, Yes.
