...rock solid product..
notice the number 3 in the name of said product? and still not good enough.
Not to mention UI lags. 2014 and GUI is lagging. Someone needs to get shot.
- sliverstorm 12y agoNotice he didn't say it WAS a rock solid product, he said they were dedicated to making it one. It isn't surprising it has issues; the Surface line is a little less than 2 years old. The iPhone wasn't polished from day one; it took them a few years too. I don't think it was until the end of the 3G, somewhere around the iPhone 4, where the iPhone was generally accepted as a well-polished product. Which, I might add, was a timespan of ~3 years.
- x3sphere 12y agoNot surprising. The MBP Retina suffers from such lag as well, unless you go for the top of the line model with the dedicated graphics card. 2160X1440 res is too much for these integrated chips to handle.
- LeafyGreenbriar 12y agoIn my experience that was only true of the Ivy Bridge models. I've used both the 13 & 15 inch Haswell Pros, and neither seems to have any appreciable GUI lag, with the possible exception of scrolling/resizing sites with very complex layouts in Chrome.
- dangrossman 12y agoIf the higher end model uses one of the i7's with Intel's Iris graphics (still an integrated GPU), it'll have no problem. I have one powering my 2560x1440 laptop connected to another external monitor, and it drives both screens in native-res games just fine. It's more capable than the discrete ATI Radeon was in my older i5 laptop. It's also an Ultrabook (0.6"), so the same chip shouldn't have any size/thermal issues with being stuffed in an SP.
- saratogacx 12y agoOSX has some really odd lag issues with the UI and responsiveness. I'm running my lenovo win Win8 dual monitor on the 1377x768 & 2560x1440 external monitor and I don't see any UI lag. This is on an older Intel HD3000 integrated chip. My 13" MBP from the same time lags even if I'm using just the built in screen.
- zanny 12y agoI've run 2x monitors with a 3840x1080 desktop for 9 months without a hitch on hd4600. No lag at all, albeit I'm talking Arch + KDE running kdenlive / krita / karbon / kdevelop / freecad / blender / Firefox / qtcreator / etc.
- tolmasky 12y agoiOS 7 UI is significantly laggier than iOS 6 (I honestly do not understand how 4S users deal with it, its not fantastic even on 5S). Not to mention glitchier.
- celerity 12y agoI have a 4s. While iOS 7 is laggier than iOS 6 when doing things like switching apps using a home key double tap etc., it is a much faster interface. That is, there might be (not too heavy) laginess for a small set of tasks, but iOS 7 unlike iOS 6 can keep up with my natural speed for doing things much better.
- danudey 12y agoI think the key is that iOS 7 is 'slower', but the animations are meant to take less time. Thus swiping back and forth through view hierarchies, changing apps, etc. is all faster because the animations are designed to take less time (and animation delay is an artificially induced latency).
- umsm 12y agoYou must be on an older iOS 7 version as the latest updates make appear to be very fast. Seems to be the fastest phone / tablet OS I've had.
- sneak 12y agoOn the latest and greatest flagship products, it may be slower than 6 but it's not "laggy" by any means. To ship a flagship that lags is unacceptable.
- jblow 12y agoI have an iPad Air, and there are definitely basic iOS7 operations that lag and stutter on it. (For example, pulling down the search box).
