Hi Hans I can see how people use tablets or pads and I could use one as well. But it would be for casual use and I'm reluctant to spend money just to fill such need. With the Surface machine the picture changes. This will fill my need while doubling as a useful machine for much of my professional work. /gustav >>> hans.andersen at phulse.com 20-06-12 2:48 >>> I would rather not indulge any irrational and excessive dislike for Apple products. I'd rather we talk like serious professionals who have a curiosity with all things technology, rather than be stuck in a tribal mindset. The question I was wondering is whether it makes sense to spend that much money on a tablet when cheaper, high quality alternatives exist that satisfy whatever your needs are - whether it be a portable development platform (laptop) or a handy portable device for general email/chat/web surfing/content consumption etc (tablet). - Hans Sent from my iPhone On 2012-06-19, at 3:25 PM, "Jim Lawrence" <accessd at shaw.ca> wrote: > Not that I disagree with you at all but I have been using the very same > argument with regards to MAC equipment.
