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

[tomboy]

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.....

Microsoft Surface is a planned series of tablet computers designed and marketed by Microsoft Corporation. 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. A second version, named "Surface Pro" will run the Windows 8 operating system and use an Intel CPU.[2][3] The display is a 10.6", 16:9 widescreen HD Display (Surface), or Full HD Display (Surface Pro).[4] The product was announced by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at a Los Angeles event on June 18, 2012, at Milk Studios.[5] No specific release date was announced at the product introduct

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...

At yung sinasabing "eco-system".......Ang pilipinas "windows country" pa din

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...

This is going to be another uphill battle for microsoft. Does anybody ever remember ZUNE? It was designed specifically to compete against the Ipod. Microsoft lost millions if not a billion with this bungled conquest. Microsoft would not only compete with Apple in this area but also against Google's Android built tablets. If MS have a winning formula this time, it might allow them to have just a small piece of the market. I might be wrong, but for me this is another lost cause for MS.

this one runs Windows 8. you know the one that you will install in your laptop pag nag-upgrade na kayo from Win7 or Vista.

so ano pa imamarket ng Windows dito? kung tuusin nga this is one of Microsoft strategies katulad nun anti-trust case nila noon araw eh lol

ang dapat kabahan eh google, bec. this is windows territory na. the tablets are running dual core CPUs, I can install my old software with this na like old NFS, old office 2003, old photoshop cs3 etc. , you won't even need an App Market kasi nga this is PC software na.

so there's no uphill battle. it will even be more time consuming to maintain two OS pa nga, one for tablet and one for PC. while MS is offering one OS for all tablet and PC, and perhaps a tone down version of Win8 for the windows phone.

i see google's demise here. sabi ko na kasi sa huli, yun magmamanufacture ng both software and hardware ang magwawagi, and sino pa ba ga-giant sa MS and Apple.
