Nice move Microsoft
|
I'll stick with my Spectre X360, ta. :)
|
how much?
ticks many boxes |
$2500
|
Very, very tempted by one of these. Price aside, I see very few downsides for the Windows user
|
Laptop?
|
Yeah kind of, it's a tablet with a keyboard that contains more battery and a GPU.
|
Getting one then Jack ??
|
If I had to buy something other than a Macbook then yes.
|
Looks nice.....would be interested in seeing the residual values of it.
|
looks like an macbook air to me
|
its like the 2 year old lenovo helix but bigger...
|
Pricey, £1600 quid in our money, probably more, as tech is cheaper in the US.
You could have the same spec i7 base or better in a nice lappy imo. |
That is gorgeous if you want a performance laptop and tablet in one.

Lose a touch on screen resolution (1440 vs 2000) but on a 13" screen I reckon higher than 1440 isn't really anymore beneficial, although I'll reserve judgement til I see it in the flesh. Biggest drawback is weight: 1.5kg is quite hefty for a tablet, but that's the trade off for i7 performance: the need for bigger batteries. |
It's HP so will fall apart a day after the warranty expires.
|
Funny that happened with my phone......same will probably happen with the new one....

Not a fan of windows tablets, I like to be able to control my environment and I find it very difficult with these.
I've tried a number of windows and Android and always come back to the ipad. |
To be honest I only use the tablet mode when doing in car diagnostics (where space is tight) or reading documents in portrait.
Problem I have is most of the automotive software I use doesn't scale very well on high resolution displays. For example; Mercedes's online service history portal which is a Java based app is displayed in minuscule proportions; can barely read icons and text. Unless some bright chappy comes up with a workable scaling solution for legacy applications its really hindering the hardware's potential. |
What's Java?
|
Its something Mercedes insist I use to update the service records on customer's cars :mad:

I sometimes need it for network config. Its not as tricky to get rid of on Mac nowadays.
