| famousringo said: The problem with the surface is that the SoC and display are competitive with the 18 month old iPad 2. A hundred bucks more either gets you more RAM, more storage, and an OS too young to have a rich ecosystem yet, or a top of the line display, GPU, and access to the leading tablet platform. Edit: I should add that the problem with the "cheap OEM clone" theory of future domination is that the cheap clones are already here, and they run Android. Any Windows-based tablet is going to be more expensive because it will owe Microsoft a higher licensing cost, and the Android tablet ecosystem, weak though it may be, is still more mature than Windows RT's. If Microsoft is going to change the game, it's going to be with full Windows 8 tablets. |
The problem with all Tablets Android or IOS is they are just the phones but larger. Surface and other Windows 8 tablets are capable of so much more. In fact being able to do full Office for a start. Connect any device that you want, well basically as reviewers are pointing out. Surfaces functionality makes the IPAD seem $300 overpriced.
