Surface vs. iPad: Microsoft's Getting Rusty Stealing from Apple

On Monday, Microsoft held a secret press event in Los Angeles where it announced a new family of tablets under the Surface moniker. Along with Surface, the event revealed a branding shift for Microsoft, one that values the unity of hardware and software, and the idolization of aesthetics. Something about it felt familiar...

If your "identity" as a person is wrapped up only in your computing choice - then you are too small. Go outside - look around - talk to people. Respect both platforms as tools - only.

Well then, if you know that the MacBook air of the 128GB drive only has 99GB available and the Surface Pro 89 or 97 if you move the recovery partition, then what's the big fuzz about the storage?

[Jaroslav Hampejs]

this is not about the first...its about the best..

dyk whats funny?...Oprah was tweeting about the Surface(its great and fantastic, she also said that she bought one or two for friends and family),but she forgot that she was writing it on HER tablet..the iPad...

+how many Surfaces did Microsoft sold? hundreds of thousands, maybe few milions/do u know how many iPads did Apple sold? I can tell you: its 140,5 million ...Who is better now?

[Steven Silva]

yes i know that, but i was refering about the tablets storage..

[Solann Diaz]

It is the same as with the MacBook air pretty much in terms of available storage space of the 128. But you already know that because you know alto about Apple. You just wanted to hate on product that makes a lot of people happy, and, brings new things to the table. Which, the tablet competition needed.

[Illumation Streambutler]

Haha very funny!

[MixMusicChannel]

Yeah because the Windows 8 pro operating system takes up alot but thats not really a big deal. The apps are useful, not to mention you can easily attach a external hard drive or microSD 64gb card or even use to skydrive for extra storage. This is an amazing device.

[HTHAMMACK1]

LOL! What a dumbass. Microsoft had tablets on the market before you or anyone else even heard of an iPad. So what was your point again?

[Steven Silva]

128Gb, but when you turn on for the first time its not 128GB its very less than that.. i heard about 90GB and that's too bad, microsoft stuffs the surface with unwanted apps ._____.
