What's a meaningless post?

There are plenty of meaningless posts made online. Like the one I'm quoting. =P

My wife is always complaining about the hand-me-down laptops I give her. The Surface Laptop would put my Surface Pro 3 to shame (only has an I3 processor) and she'd would, for once, stop complaining...

Because you are going to give her the Surface laptop if you won?

Goodluck to us all even if the chances is slim to none.

My wife would love this with the burgundy version, and when she's not using it, I can use it too when I needed the uncompromised lapability that my SP4 cannot offer. This would complete our digital lifestyle! Want it. Want it. Want it!

If I was a student again, I would totally get this laptop and upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro. Plus, it's the most beautiful laptop I've ever seen!

 

[Eric Walles]

everyone have a very good reason to need a Surface laptop so this post certainly wil get big

The more I read about Surface Laptop, the more I'm excited about it! And hopefully Surface Phone will join the family soon too!

I sold my old Surface RT First Genaration so i need a new one so badly. When i win i will bake a German Schwarzwälder Kirchtorte for you ;-)

I can give some feedback on this: I've had the lower end surfaces since launch, and have hesitated upgrading to the Pro line because when I'm working I really need that solid keyboard experience.

The book is too expensive and over specced for what I'd use it for; and the Surface Pro 4 would be great, but worse battery life and that damn flimsy keyboard (yes, much better in latest iteration, but still not for me).

So the surface laptop is for those of us that like a traditional laptop, and want to experience the best of Windows 10 in a "traditional" format.

MS/Panos seem like they're winging it on their mobile hardware releases, like this stuff isn't planned in advance. If it was, I'd think the Surface Pro tablet would be the core/base unit they'd produce, and then the 'Surface Book' would just be the hardcore laptop-style base, with the extra battery and GPU in it, to attach the Surface Pro tablet to, and the 'Surface Laptop' would just be a basic laptop-style base for it, lighter and thinner with no battery or GPU, while still allowing the detaching of the Surface Pro for tablet usage. The Type Cover keyboard would still be available for ultra-portability.

It seems weird to have them as three separate products, competing with themselves, when they could all be modules allowing for customization on a whim.

Wish There was more quantity enough for everyone

Give me my surface please

I still love my original Surface RT, but not being able to upgrade to Win 10 makes me a little sad. Now a lovely modern Surface 3 with all that x86 desktop and Windows 10 goodness; what's not to love!

This would be nice to have at the new job I'm about to start.

Most people anymore only need to check email, write a letter, manage their budget, access music and photos, search for information, and do it all safely from malware. Windows 10S will help with that by locking down Windows for the regular user in somewhat of a sandbox mode.

I know that at home I no longer need a computer where I want to tweak every setting. I just want to connect and do what I need to do.

The only real concern with the Surface Laptop is the cost. It still is a premium price to be able to do those things. I'm hoping that various partners start coming out with devices that mimic the SL, but at a lower cost.

I evangelize hard at my Apple infested Job and this laptop would look gorgeous on my desk

 

[Dadstar0410]

Is the keyboard any better than that of the pro 3? I'm sure it is but I haven't seen any reviews of it.

 

[Marcellus1]

This thread is getting a fair amount of attention...

 

[Marcellus1]

I was able to stop and play with one of these for a couple of minutes at my local Microsoft Store the other day. I wasn't sure what to think when it was announced, but I was very impressed having it in hand. It looked and felt very nice!

I'm actually a former Surface RT user, and would welcome the benefits that Windows S provides such as better security and extended battery life. Less fan on time is a good thing.
