People can't stop talking about
Microsoft Surface. It’s a very hot and disputed topic. Some critics say that the tablets (there are two)
will fail, while
others are enthusiastic. There's heated discussion about price, too.
For me and many others like me, Surface is the only tablet that can be used for more than common tasks -- certainly not Apple's iPad. Windows is a very powerful platform, and most professionals need it for work. I want to tell you why you need Surface.
The tablets
Even if you know the specs -- well, what little Microsoft disclosed -- there’s need to discuss them (again) from another perspective. The specs serve a purpose choosing the right tablet for your needs; choosing wrong is not an option.
