Double click on an exe....

Looks around for a bin.

See about the upgrade option to allow you to use it like a PC, that's nuts to begin with though, it's starting a race with a leg tied up.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

TBH, It looks like a MacBook Air clone coming in about a decade too late.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

The device is already poised to flop. They tried this with Windows rt...

Windows 10 S is nothing like RT. RT was designed for ARM CPU and could simply NOT run x86 and x64 applications.
Windows 10 S can be upgraded to Home or Pro and runs all of those applications if really needed which is actually doubtfull, for the market they are targeting, the need to run x86/x64 apps is not really criticial. 

I think the computer is pretty slick actually.



I wonder where they'll take Windows 10 S next.

As for the laptop, it's garbage.

Hoping we get these at work next year. Some divisions already have Surface Pros.



It looks good, but its expensive and it probably doesn't play Gears of War 4 great.

Kind of expensive for those specs.

That's what they said with the Surface and the Surface Book right? :)

So far Microsoft is proving you wrong.

Oh, and yah, I agree, this is definitely aimed for the same market than the MacBook Air.
