Microsoft Surface review: Ripples of change

19 November 2012
Having powered anything from personal media players to enterprise servers, Redmond once again has a little something to call its own. It must wish it's bigger than the Xbox and sure hopes no one remembers the Kin phone. The Microsoft Surface...

It has Powerful processing and beautiful design unite on Surface but is it worth for that price.

            It is very annoying in Windows 8 that you cannot change Photo app's background color when viewing pictures and it is not possible to zoom in because your picture is becoming pixelated.

                    Not sure why anyone would pay the price for this.Rather spend the money on an ultra book then the ugly tiled surface.Another epic fail

                        No GSM..? How can I use this device while on the road..? MS habit bring into the market incomplete product and revise later then ask consumer buy a new one, just like WP7 did.

                                Also, i have tried the surface and it is a great tablet but I personally expected a better interface. It seems too easy and boring, after 10 minutes of it i'm ready to put it down and not use it again, which is never good for a multi-hundred dollar purchase.

                                But i guess thats me, i currently have a nexus 7 and love it lots but the keyboard case is great and would have been a great add-on to any tablet.

                                      I will go with you also step by step :
                                      1- As I said before the low number of application is the reason why it will be inferior to others if it can't manage programs.
                                      However, the surface pro will run programs and that is what a lot of people (including me ) was expecting from the now available Surface from Microsoft.( maybe our mistake not to know that)
                                      2- Yes I have tried the same kind of these keyboards before and I know the difference.
                                      + I think If they add in the future a pen like Galaxy Tab2 will probably be more suitable than my idea of a small mouse.
                                      3- I believe that they know that Ipad3 has a very good resolution screen, so they must make a similar screen resolution .
                                      Look at Samsung with Google Nexus 10, I believe that most of the new tablets will have amazing screens.
                                      The resolution of surface is good,but It is not for Microsoft flagship tablet, which by the way the surface pro will got full HD(1,920x1,080),still less than Ipad 3, Ipad 4, kindle fire and Nexus 10,but at least full HD and as you said better than most of todays tablets.

                                      4- Thank you for respecting my opinion.
                                      I hope you enjoy your surface.
                                      Sorry for the long comment.
