Microsoft Surface RT review - Eurogamer: "a largely disappointing offering that under-performs in almost every way that matters."

The sad things is that I 80% agree with the review but I'd still buy this over the iPad lol.

I've had iphones, itouches and I have an iPad 2...and they bore the crap out of me. The gestures, charms and live tiles alone make Windows 8 more interesting to use than the iPad for the day to day tasks like email, web surfing and multitasing in general

The review is pretty much what I was telling you from the beginning :).

I agree with you about the Ipad comparison, but at least wait for the one with proper hardware. I can't get over the fact that Microsoft uses Tegra 3 in their flagship ARM device for 2013. They don't have enough money, I guess.

With the surface I sense that there was a long optimization cycle to get Windows RT to work properly and that when they started doing this, Tegra 3 was absolute cutting edge. But 10 months later here we are. I do agree that the surface is a pass but as a platform, Win 8 is the one I've personally been waiting for. 

Even Surface Pro doesn't look like a clear cut winner to me compared to some of the stuff I'm seeing form other OEMs.
