As a side note, it's amazing to see that despite everyone ragging on apple and claiming superiority to them, they all copy their advertising style. The copy on the google pixel site and this site are both very obviously apple-ish. edit: down vote away, doesn't change the fact that these websites scream "we want to be apple". Though I will say, the tides are changing for apple judging by the amount of people hurt by t…

you mean the CGI flybys of the unit being virtually constructed? Yeah APple pioneered that idea, I actually didn't like that part of the surface PC promo.. Like who cares what the internal hinges look like!? They need to stop doing close flybys of irrelevant subjects

The usability portions of the video were awesome though

The two things that Macbooks have had over Windows laptops, in my opinion, is high resolution screens and a fantastic trackpad. Windows laptops, even on the high end, still tend to screens no better than 1080p and crappy touchpads. My wife hates the touchpad so much she always uses a mouse and has the trackpad disabled. I just got an HP Elite x2, which is basically a Surface Pro and I really like the pen and touch in…

So I've not tried enough windows touchpads to comment on that, but from what I've seen there's quite a few Windows laptops with higher res screens than 1080p

e.g.

Dell XPS 13 - can have a 3200x1800 screen

Lenovo Carbon X1 - can have a 2560x1440 screen

HP Elitebook G3 - Can have a 2560x1440 screen

Microsoft surface book - 3000x2000 screen

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 - 2736 x 1824 screen

the website feels like someone has copy-pasted apple.com/imac and changed the pictures using Microsoft Frontpage

I guess you are talking about the website? Because the product couldn't possible be more different than the iMac, if any the product feels like an iteration over the Dell XPS 27 line

yeah. I haven't used and won't probably use this device but marketing wise, it's exactly same as what Apple does. that makes sense to get downvotes though since 99% of this thread's audiences are Microsoft zombies :)

Surface Dial looks very, very cool. Innovation in the HCI space is greatly welcome. Could not find any info on whether you can use 2 at the same time. That could have some incredible applications!

Reminds me a lot of the Griffin PowerMate.

They can do all the marketing they want, I just feel like this is gonna be the buggiest thing I ever used if I tried it.

How's that? I tried an surface pro a while ago and the touch screen worked fine. They had some issues to work around scaling, but iirc those are mostly sorted out. Frankly it looks amazing.

Microsoft has a bad track record with computers. There is no way to whitewash this or to think any other first generation hardware won't be fraught with problems.

My advise is wait.

Love it.

It even has a version of their ergonomic keyboards, something that I cannot really understand with Apple, how can one even manage to program in such flat keyboards.

Apple, one of the first companies to introduce ergonomic keyboards to the world.
