it's clearly a graphic, to actually respond: if you're getting a tablet this isn't an "either or" situation, you buy both, for which you do computer poo poo on your computer. the value of the tablet is in it's form factor. which is gone from a convertible, marketers think it's the touch screen that's important but literally no one cares about that on a normal computer. surfaces are also insanely poo poo with a crazy high failure rate, are Microsoft products, and are truly the worst of both worlds

Note the conspicuous lack of architecture drafts, engine schematics and circuit diagrams. quote:the surface is poo poo. it's a terrible product that is bad at everything it attempts to do and is really poorly built to boot. Me and my girlfriend have been using them for years and never had any trouble with them. It's a great laptop replacement if you don't care about ~serious gaming~ and honestly for that you're not going to get a mac either. And it works as a tablet too

it's absolute loving trash and in four generations microsoft still hasn't worked out their quality control issues. it has poo poo battery life for a tablet and far worse performance than a laptop and as often as not the accessories will just stop working for no apparent reason until you do a little voodoo song and dance. you are objectively wrong, it is a terrible product and you would be better served owning either an ipad or an ultrabook because at least they're good at something

MS stuff is viscerally offensive in comparison, and can be a whole lot worse about pretend capabilities. anyways I think you missed gray yospos by a few clicks

my surface pro usually throws a shitfit transitioning between docked/keyboard/tablet mode. also autorotation often doesn't work. good thing work paid for it.

So here's the thing about being objectively wrong:infernal machines posted:it has poo poo battery life for a tablet   infernal machines posted:far worse performance than a laptop  I admit that the touch UI needs some third-party programs/tweaking to be smooth, but at least you can actually tweak it, and run more than two apps at a time

that said, there's no excuse for spending $100 on a stylus to interact with something designed specifically to use your finger like, that was the core concept behind the ios touch interface.

I have that Thinkpad Yoga mentioned in the benchmarks and it's better than a surface or an iPad bc it has a real keyboard. It's heavier than an iPad too but that's ok because tablets are a temporary use case, not something you should ever be doing all the time

infernal machines posted:~*posts battery life tests showing android phablet in the lead*~ From the same page: quote:Much like Cinebench, x264 is mostly a CPU test, and a video clip is converted on the CPU into h264. There is no single-threaded option though, so you can see the quad-core parts still offer a lot more grunt for these kinds of tasks, but compared to the other Ultrabooks, the Surface Pro is the fastest again. Really what matters is it has a 4GHz latest gen Intel CPU, and (merely okay because they are poo poo in general) the single fastest non-discrete GPU around Can you imagine how hard the iPad would bomb those benchmarks in comparison actually I don't have to because it's just a phone with a big screen, or a chrome netbook with a touchscreen (pick one or both) Private Speech fucked around with this message at 17:01 on May 18, 2018 |

it doesn't matter because you wouldn't use an ipad for those tasks, just like booting up a full x86 windows pc to surf the forums on your couch is also dumb as heck also, you just kinda mixed and matched anand's different battery life tests there as if they're directly comparable, but they're not
