MSFT really needs to improve the camera speed. the problem is that your camera relies on the nokia app which isn't baked into the OS unlike what samsung can do. yet another example of how the MSFT overly restrictive SDK screws users.

what's the LTE story with ATT? I know some of these unlocked phones sometimes have bands you need for full LTE compatibility.

with 8.1 on the wings of shipping with the next gen of nokia/msft devices, is it a good time to hold off buying a 1520? I own a 920, and two 1020s but have been considering getting a 1520 to see if I can deal with the larger screen.

on the i7s ? because we already know the i5s get around 7-8 since it is the same chip. And off course the i3 will get more but not much and the i7 will get less, but not much. are you expecting a huge difference? compare ultrabook data from the i5 vs i7 and you can see where things will land...

I like how some who don't use pens for anything artistic tell the art guys 256 is enough for you...

MSFT didn't give out any i7 versions so you'll have to wait. anandtech has a few benchmarks already for the i5. if you look at ultrabooks with i7s vs i5s from this hasswell generation, then you can extrapolate it.

I would never put windows in the same category as OSX so that alone completely tosses the apple product out the window. but hardware wise, I don't see why even bring the pro because that is a more serious heavy laptop.

Apple sells ipads with LTE. MSFT sells surface 2 with LTE. android OEMs sell tablets with LTE. stop being a hater of choice and let those of us that don't want to drain our phones for basic connectivity, and don't wish to carry yet another wifi brick around have our tablet. MSFT is free to...

agree with most comments. i3 is actually probably fine for nearly everybody but 64GB with full windows isn't. really MSFT? 64GB of flash memory isn't worth 200 bucks and neither is the i3 vs i5.

yup. ordered too.

are you going to run photoshop? get the i5. otherwise, the i3 will run circles around the snap dragon 800 or 900 or whatever da hell they do over the next 2 years.

basically it does have a fan but it is virtually fan-less in MS head...weird. I guess wait for broadwell?

hmm. good points. this is bad news indeed. Then again I think they are just trying to keep the price point in line. Don't feel too down however. Remember you really want the intel broadwell chips of 2015 which will ship with SP4 so the best thing to do is let MSFT know the "compromise" isn't...

why? because MSFT isn't a 6 year old little girl and needs to know what is wrong so they can fix it. developers have a thick skin. the problem is the fanboys don't like anything that challenges their view MSFT can do no wrong. as a developer, I appreciate some level of good feedback but I'm...
