I really can't wait for teh nextbox, a good windows 8 tablet, and for verizon to get a windows 8 cell phone line up. Than i can have all of my devices be similar and easy to talk to each other and sync.


My thoughts exactly. I'll start by installing Windows 8. I don't have a current need for a tablet, but when I need a new phone it will be a Win 8 Phone. And of course I'll be getting the next Xbox.



I'm waiting for Verizon to come out with a windows phone already.

What, the one they have isn't good enough for you? I mean for $179, you couldn't possibly get a better phone.

I am hopefully getting a tablet to replace my desktop. But if i can't do that i will stick with a desktop and put windows 8 on it. I dont want to have both

Fun fact, the owner of this station, vox media, was founded by Cliff bleszinski's brother, developer of Gears of War.
Shoot, I knew this sounded like an advertisement.

While the Surface is a real computer, it is limited compared to a desktop machine. Don't expect to play the latest and greatest games on a Surface even though it runs Win 8. I'd say the surface is more of a replacement for a laptop than a desktop.

Surface RT maybe, but the Surface Pro sounds like it has some decent specs. Also I'm pretty sure other OEM's will fill the power-hungry void that some of us require. It's part of the reason I believe W8 Tablets as a whole will be pretty successful.

Yes they will have decent specs, but only compared to laptops. If you want to play Crysis 3 on max settings it's going tot ake a tower filled with 8 cores, 16 gigs and the fastest power sucking video card you can afford.

Oh absolutely. I didn't mean to inply that they would compete with the good 'ol towers. That would be pretty imposible.
