yeap they really need to make people get that.... god apple and the dumb tablet fiasco got people stupid and computer ileterrate.... no offense argh college not saying you are one of them.... but i bet you my nuts more than half of the iPad/kindle crowd have no clue....

What planet are you from where people were super-duper tech-savvy before tablets came along? It surely isn't the one where I show people how to search their inbox for specific emails or select multiple items in a folder.

If people get confused by the difference between Win RT on ARM and Win 8 on x86, that's Microsoft's own fault for launching two different devices called Surface running two different OS SKUs on two different architectures. If Microsoft can't communicate the distinction to their customers, calling them stupid and computer illiterate (I try not to be a grammar nazi, but the way you mangled the word "illiterate" is too ironic for me to let pass by) isn't going to help their sales pitch any.

Thank God somebody saw the obvious!! I've always wanted a tablet with a keyboard. If this is not overpriced, I'm buying one!!

Is something unsuitable about all the other tablet + keyboard solutions already out there?

haha +1 but at least before they knew the diff between a PC a cellphone and even a pda.... now they don't as long as it has a screen over 7 inch it's al the same...

no worries it is one word in english i keep messing up... IRONYYYY lol.. for info though i ain't born an english speaker.... try my best though but sometimes i mix up the spelling with my native language... just been living in the US for 7 years after all... :)
