I constantly had the impression that the reviewer was slightly biased. It seemed like he really wanted to make the Surface the winner from the very start, so even when the Surface clearly failed he came up with lame excuses (like around 13:15, where he opens the same website on both devices, and clicks on a certain thumbnail image at the same time on both devices. The Nexus 10 instantly loads the image, while the Surface never does - which he instantly comes up with ridiculous explanations for, first a "really bad internet connection", then that website being very slow right now. But anyway, I've seen almost a dozen comparisons in which the Nexus 10 won web browsing, if only because it has four times the resolution of the Surface, which for web browsing is much more important than web browser X scrolling slightly faster than browser Y. So there is one reviewer who comes to a different conclusion - and he's probably rather alone with this opinion, because otherwise, we would probably have seen a new thread on every single of these reviews here on vgchartz by the usual suspects. No reason to change my opinion. If 100 reviews say that the Surface isn't good and the keyboard cover is total crap, I'm not going to change my opinion because of one reviewer. |
As someone who usually posts anti Microsoft stuff around here, your post isn't breaking character.
And this review shows exactly why 4X the pixels isn't ideal for most sites as images scale up and look like crap. But you're welcome to drink to resolution coolade and think PPI for tiny text reading makes a world of difference when your browser lags and shows half of the screen realestate compared to competition.
