Microsoft recently expanded its campaign against Apple's MacBook Air with a website that offers practical advice to people who have switched or are thinking of switching to a Surface Pro 3. The site resembled other ditch-a-rival-OS efforts that have long been a part of the personal computing landscape, including those Apple has used to convince consumers that switching from a Windows PC to a Mac is not difficult. |

Here's the thing though....with the Surface Pro 3, it doesn't automatically come with a keyboard - that costs extra (cha-ching). Also, Microsoft assumes you want a laptop with touch screen capabilities like an iPad. If you were to ask most users, most would tell you they're not impressed with touch screen laptops.
And then....there's Windows 8. While it has some good characteristics (better use of resources), there's the LetsNotCallItMetro...sorry, Modern interface. It blows....period |

| I think they did fix a lot of issues with 8.1 and Windows 10 sounds promising. You are right about the keyboard, but some people might like the idea of going to places with their device, take some shots, use simple apps and then use it as a full-blown laptop when needed. The investment of a keyboard can be pricey if you buy the one that attaches to the surface, but there are some cheaper alternatives out there as well. Stories from around keep saying that Microsoft if loosing money with the tablets, so they might be short-lived unless they can really capture people's attention with Windows 10. |
