Microsoft Surface- "could be the laptop and notebook killer"

**tomboy** · June 21st, 2012 07:14 AM

Mabuti na lang talaga hindi ko pa nabili yung samsung tab 7.7

Nakahiram na ako ng tab at ipad. Medyo lukewarm ako kaya hanggang ngayon hindi ako bumibili.....yung touch screen hindi kalevel ang response pag icocompare sa normal keyboard. Mainipin tao ako pag dating sa pindutan.

Akalain mo maglalabas microsoft yung naiisip ko na dapat meron manipis na keyboard ang mga tab. (yung cover casing ginawa keyboard....galing)

Yung windows 8 pro ang ok dahil parang computer talaga na pwede ka install. Yung windows rt parang typical tablet na pupunta ka pa sa apps store.....

The Surface will be available in two versions, a base or basic version, named simply "Surface" that will run the Windows RT operating system and use an ARM CPU.

The tablet release by Microsoft is a nice twist in the tablet/cover integration design. But the major selling point of tablets these days is not anymore the hardware but the "eco-system" or the massive library of apps available to the user to choose from. This will be Microsoft's challenge when they will launch their MS Surface series of tablets.

iPAD = 230,000 Apps.

Surface = Near 0 Apps.

The MS Surface will fail like the HP Touch, BB Playbook, and the others before it.

Yung sa surface rt yan ang magiging problem. Pero yung sa surface pro kung totoo magfunction as normal desktop computer/laptop panalong panalo yan...

Wouldn't this thing be able to run/compatible with existing PC programs since it will be using Windows 8 OS? You will be able to transfer Windows files between machines on the fly. Though Microsoft have to prove that it won't suffer teething problems like the RLOD of early XBOX 360...

Hindi naman siguro kelangan ng 200,000 apps para lang maging succesful yan. Ilang apps lang ba ang mabenta?

Parang 100 very good apps is enough to start off. Yun nga lang kelangan talaga meron. hehe

I think any possible compatibility with Windows' strong program base for the PC will be a draw... but MS will need to invest heavily in putting out apps... since the app market has fundamentally changed the game in terms of software purchases... easier to buy... cheaper to buy... lower mark-ups versus higher volume.
