I believe his pitch is, if you actually do real work with a tablet, and that real work involves the office suite, the surface is for you.
My kid has to use an iPad for her highschool - the school issued every kid one. It's working out OK - mostly due to one app that does a good job of allowing markup of PDF files, and by using a stylus. She hates writing on the iPad, even with a bluetooth keyboard. Could the surface do that? Yes, with ease.
I use my surface for 6+ hours daily at work (haven't undocked my laptop since I got the surface, no more laptops at meetings) and then for a couple hours at home. Never did that with an android tablet, or an iPad.
I understand different tools for different environments. Ya, a laptop or ultra/slate does great for meetings, that is its place. My point was the poster above was using the "ipad is just a toy" kind of sales pitch.
People -like- toys.
I don't believe telling people "this is a serious work machine!" is something that will turn hearts and minds. I see "surface has office" mentioned a lot too. Great. The school/companies pcs have office. The library has office. My old desktop hasss office. That's not really a eye opening WOW thing for people.
The surface keyboard TECHNOLOGY and sensitivity is wow. The display toughness technology is wow. The body is wow. The arm arch is wow. But office ?
I hope one person will put down the fanflag and see what I mean. Jusssst one.
