 Wowsers, that is amazing! Saw the headline but didn't appreciate how good that looks.

awesome cover of "Pure Imagination".  Was hoping the display was going to pop off at one point though :P

Definitely looks like something that Apple would produce (except for the touch screen part)

 

I really want one. Although I don't know what I would use it for...





My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

About US$3000 they said during a presentation.

 

Got to admit that it's a sexy product but almost Apple like.

I guess Bill Belichick won't be queuing up for one considering his feelings for the surface tablet.

US Prices..

 

Entry-level. Intel Core i5, 8 GB of RAM, 2 GB GPU, 1 TB SSD, $3000.

 

Mid-level. Intel Core i7, 16 GB of RAM, 2 GB GPU, 1 TB SSD, $3500.

 

High-end. Intel Core i7, 32 GB of RAM, 4 GB GPU, 2 TB SSD, $4200.

 

That's $4194, $4893.40, $5872. add GST and a bit for shipping and its some serious dollars.

The combination of reliability of Surface products and price ensure this is nowhere on my xmas list. 

 

Looks good though.

My Surface Pro 3 is rock solid. It is definitely off the shopping list here, unless of course I scoop the $30 million in Lotto this weekend. This would mean buying a ticket I guess.

Our customers have experienced greater than 100% failure rates. Some devices have failed multiple times. Most customers have actually dropped their Surfaces and moved to other products.

 

I would have to say I have only heard of one Surface Book being faulty.

Yep, based on our business experience, I would classify Surface Pro as the Kardashian of IT hardware. Look great, temperamental at best.

 

We had been purchasing SP4, but went back to Toshiba for our last purchase.
