I kind of like using my logitech bluetooth keyboard with my ipad air if I want to respond to some emails or something but it holds the ipad up, the dumbest part of the bigpad is that it won't work off of a desk.table

yes, actual applications tuned for the interface, coherent design and reasonable price points for their intended market are simply bullet point items

Using Windows phone daily has changed my outlook - I have kess crashes, more battery life, and the browser doesn't hard lock causing throttling. It's a slower phone I bought from my android one, but it just works better.

microsoft has spent literally billions of dollars trying to convince people they want to draw on office documents with a pen and use a crappy fabric keyboard and while I don't think it's likely it will be hilarious if apple manages to succeed at it

It's the same chip family and it has the same ram, just clocked slower.

I don't have to wait 10 secs switching apps, it happens instantly.

I don't have to worry about permissions on apps, the privacy settings are global or can be changed independent of the app.

I can play Xbox one using my phone just as good as the media remote.

Shoot, the YouTube app even has no commercials, unlike Android and ios.

yep thats windows alright, there isnt a real fundamental concept of 'security' with windows, it's just kinda a free for all

thats why there are so many thousands of viruses constantly compared to next to none for non-windows computers

they pitched the surface as a device that would replace your laptop and your tablet. but it's too big and heavy to be a true ipad replacement. and it's unusable as a laptop. and it runs windows 8
