[dba-Tech] Microsoft Surface Tablet: 10 Coolest Features

Welcome to the world of paying a decent amount of money for a well designed machine, that perhaps is underpowered compared similarly priced PC laptops and is perhaps so tightly manufactured that you are not able to open it up and upgrade it with off the shelf hardware... and, sure, it's all proprietary now... but it's a platform that provides you a great user experience by your chosen favourite company. And since it is designed top to bottom by said company, this should surely mean that it is also a lot more stable and robust.

See? It's not so bad really. If it was, you wouldn't be wanting to buy it.

I think this link sums it up really.

PS. I'm not making fun of anyone. Only making fun of the arguments I have had to endure, that now apparently don't matter and have gone out the window. ;- )
