Perhaps Microsoft should have kept these embargoed for a bit longer. |
heh, in fairness, it doesnt seem all that bad as a pure tablet. The problem is MS is marketing it as more.
Maybe its time to admit theres no such thing as a pure "all in one" do it all device. Laptops and Dekstops are for productivity Tablets are for fun. Nothing wrong with that. |

I think the reason I do NOT like the laptop is because it's like a small desktop. Whereas I like the tablet because it's like a huge smartphone that can do so much.. The laptop just isn't comfortable. |

In all respects, AT MY DESK, it IS a desktop. But if I want to get up and take it in the other room, or with me on the road, I can. |

Time to build another one. Which is another reason I like desktops. I'm perfectly fine taking one a part and fiddling and fixing. A laptop...not so much. |

However, I'm to the point now that if it isn't something I can fix, pull the HDD and throw the rest away. |

That's why I haven't put money in a tablet. Other than the neato factor, I can't pick up any functionality. |

Tablet OS'es are MUCH less bloated, which allows one to "sleep" instead of shutdown. Windows has to be shut down periodically so that it doesn't go schizoid. The iPad also doesn't have to be tethered to a power cord 90% of the time, either. So if I've been watching TV for a couple hours and decide I want to look something up on the net, I'm reaching for the tablet because I can flip open the cover, do my search, read the output, and put the tablet away again, all in the time it would take my Windows laptop to BOOT. |

I use my laptop for work too (docking station at home and at the office), so it gets shut down regularly. And I replaced the battery a year or so ago, so it will sleep all evening while I'm at home. If I use it much, I have to plug it in, but you have to do that with an Ipad also. Coincidentally, my buddy has an Ipad, and every time I hop on it to check the weather or whatever, it has like 3% battery left. ROFL |
