well, including the ipad, it could make the left more expensive, but consider this:

upgrade to a i5 instead of an i3 to match the air = $999
get a type cover since it doesn't come with one = $129.99
get a power type cover in an effort to match the battery life of the air = $199.99
totaling $1198.99

when you could just buy a brand new 11" air for $899

DEHUMANIZE  YOURSELF  &  FACE  TO  BLACULA
Worried that Microsoft was going to keep the “Threshold” codename on the next version of Windows? Fret not, it probably won’t. In a speech to employees, Alain Crozier, president of Microsoft France, called the new operating system “Windows 9″ quite recently, and there is tape of it.

I confirmed with a colleague who could translate that the phrase “Windows 9″ was uttered.

Microsoft has followed up with a statement for the ages: “On September 30, we will be providing an update on what’s next for Windows and the enterprise.” The comment provided to French media was more extensive, adding something to the effect of “there is no name yet!” (Spoiler: there is a name.)

So Microsoft says “Windows 9″ out loud, and then says that its employee — a bigwig, to boot — was mostly talking out of his rear end. Microsoft is hedging here, and that’s to be expected.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

It's Time to Rethink How You Get a New Windows Version with $0 Down Payment.

Windows Next is a new way to get a new Windows Service Pack or Full Version Upgrade (PC or Surface Tablet) every year, with no down payment, no activation fee, no upgrade fee, and no financing fee. Technology doesn't wait. Neither should you.

for some reason people on the internet seem to think "next" is a good name for branding, e.g. xbox next and I don't think even microsoft is dumb enough to go that far

although "the new nintendo 3ds" is worse than "wii u" and almost as bad as "xbox one"
