Oohs sales people that aren't just sales people but people you can talk to about products .... Awesome !
So I went to the MSFT store in NYC. Here are my thoughts.
1) I like the look of the place. Easy access as it's literally less than a half block away from the nearest subway. Store itself was busy but not crowded.
2) The store had a good vibe. The sales people weren't all over me, which I really liked. One of the reps playing Halo 5 asked me if I wanted to play, and when I said no...was very chill. I really like the graphics on Halo 5...very crisp in terms of the realism.
3) I liked the fact I could take the Band and try it on my wrist. Really liked that.
I had a great conversation with a rep who we talked about many things...he's married for 27 years; wife likes tech well enough; he's got a OG Band but really likes the Band 2; owns a Zen watch and a 360 along with his OG Band.
Very refreshing talking with someone about tech and not feeling like I'll get sold something. He knew his tech too, really did...my benchmark for that is we never talked specs, just the practical usage and how he handled that told me all I needed to know. Whenever I've gone to the Apple Cube a few blocks away, I feel like if I speak with the reps, it's that Apple scripted mind signing type ****. Not that that isn't important, it's just not my flavor.
4) Disappointed I didn't get to try out the 950. I demoed the 950 XL and I was overall satisfied with what I saw. Would have loved to see the Maxx compared to the 950, but I guess that happens another time.
5) Halo 5 looks really good. I'm not a FPS (1st person shooter) guy, but I'd play this for sure.
5) Liked the Surface Pro 4. Very good machine.
I think MSFT is on to something here. Time will tell, but they're off to a good start.
