Plus I like iOS experience so that's kind of a deal breaker :)

The surface RT isn't a higher specced machine though, it just has a stand on the back and a port on the bottom where the keyboard clips in magnetically. I wasn't suggesting that you buy a Microsoft tablet, I was merely asking why you wouldn't buy an Apple one if it had this extra functionality for no extra cost and still being just as good a tablet as before?

I think the reason why the iPad has been criticized in the past is because it's too expensive and underpowered for the things it's supposed to do. Apple has since addressed those issues by offering much better hardware in the latest iPads.

Believe it or not, many people do look at tablets as a laptop alternative. Otherwise it's just a smartphone on steroids.

Couldn't be bothered to clip it on as an extra when a touchscreen keyboard pops up on screen anyway. Personal preference I suppose on that and not everyone thinks like me. I have nothing against the surface either btw, it looks a decent device. :)

But that's the beauty of Windows 8 ;) It provides Windows 7 functionality for people who like using a keyboard and a mouse, then for people who like yourself prefer a touchscreen experience there are the metro style apps. Truly the best of both worlds.

the SIII arrived today... it rules ! :D :dozey:

Simply because many apple fans considers features that does not exist on an apple product as unnecessary.
They simple "don't need it" that is of course until that particular feature becomes available on an apple product,
coz' that is when that feature suddenly will become "revolutionary", despite that i.e. android might have had it
since its first version.

Hi Everyone. This is my current toy: Toshiba Ultrabook with i5 core :Toshiba Ultrabook

I just wonder how I would be better of with a tablet, rather than my ultrabook wich has a bloody good keyboard for me to exercise my fingers on. :)

Of course, as always, with these sorts of theread everywhere.

Apple user: I'm happy with my product :)
Anti-apple: You're an idiot! Fanboi! I hate you! DIE! :angryfire :

In other news Ibby's Dad bought an iPad 3 on Saturday, 4 days before the iPad 4 was announced. I did larf.

Whilst I see where Henners is coming from in terms of the tone, BleAivano has a point. If Apple made a surface clone then it would be considered revolutionary and be successful for sure.

Tablets sounds like you are suffering form any disease. no interested
