VAL9000 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Keep in mind that 9 million Surface devices in a year represents about 2.5% of the PC market. iPad sells something like 50 million. For the OEMs, a Surface sold is much better for them than an iPad sold. There's a good discussion going on in the Dell thread over this same issue.

They are now 3 weeks out on the pre-order, though I don't know how many they had available initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchmark Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 are these wishful numbers or what? I don't know a single person is geared up for this Surface thing. but lets see what happens. They are now 3 weeks out on the pre-order, though I don't know how many they had available initially. I'm planning on getting one for my kids, as it can actually be a laptop replacement.

berkshiremystery Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 At least the MSFT advertisement video for the surface is promising. http://macdailynews.com/2012/10/15/microsoft-airs-first-tv-ad-for-surface-tablet-with-video/ “With the first Surface spot, Microsoft focused on the “clicking” noise made when a user attaches the tablet’s magnetic keyboard-cum-cover, as well as the soft snapping sound heard when the unit’s kickstand is opened and closed,” Mikey Campbell reports for AppleInsider. “Taking more than a little inspiration from successful iPod commercials, the ad features a troupe of dancers who manipulate the device to create a drum break-like beat that slowly builds to a crescendo of feverish clicking and snapping.” http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f9/Microsoft_Surface_with_Touch_Cover.png ----- Microsoft Surface @ Wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
