Whoa, chill - your Wifi tablet and watch will still exist if some one brings out something different... there are other people out there, you know?

I don't think he was trying to be funny; posting the comment on a page dedicated to a young woman who died in a car crash, specifically threatened a person. Plus, he didn't LOL or j/k

Re: Debian's a nice distro.

Thanks for the status update guys :\

Re: What does LTS mean, anyway?

I don't get your comment - last LTS was 12.04, I think the next one will be 14.04...

Re: for not much more...

Got a Nexus 7 3G - and a Three SIM for £7.50 a month... no extra devices to carry around and keep charged, just always connected. Job done.

Re: 18 billion km thats like saying

I don't think NASA has the supercomputer capabilities to measure such a large distance with such a small unit.

Re: Sue their asses off

This comment might have held some weight if you hadn't posted Anon...

Re: Gets my vote..

I bought it thinking it surely can't be that bad.

I was wrong, but just like you I am now part of any statistical success Microsoft tries to spin around Win8.

What annoys me most actually (most, among many other things) is that - having added my Music library to Windows Media Player, I thought I would be able to use the Music App as a replacement of sorts for the missing Media Center... but the Music app can't see my library still :\

I like IE10 though - as a second browser - on my one Windows machine.

Cya!

Re: Surface != Surface

Especially where Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro do run the same apps & applications on the desktop.

Re: Why do I feel so alienated by the PC manufacturers

Oh, maybe HP wasn't thinking of you specifically when they botched this together in the shed?

You know, you might find it easier to comment on a laptop that is the right size, budget, screen format, screen material, power & OS rather than bothering to comment on laptops that don't suit your needs in any way shape or form.

Re: astroturf.

"Demand for Windows 8 computers has been phenomenal..."

I don't doubt that demand for Windows PCs has been phenomenal, it pretty much always is this time of year - but I reckon the disappointment when they start using them will be just as high.

(Quickly realised why the 'upgrade' from Windows 7 was only £49)

Re: Buddy, can you spare me a price point?

Only stooopid ones.

Noise...

What he said, plus mine screams - not fan noise but white noise.

As for disk performance, I stuck an SSD in mine, so it's actually been incredibly fast at I/O

What?

So when Apple give you a license that can be used on multiple machines it's generosity, when MS give you a license that can be used on multiple machines it's desperation?

Also, Apple seems to constantly be bringing out OS updates, it barely seems a year since the last £30 upgrade to Snow Leopard! At least MS service packs are free :)

Anyway, what do I care, I've got a Ubuntu desktop with snazzy graphics... :P

Surely...

If Everything Everywhere is everything everywhere, then surely there is nothing else, anywhere?

Err, hold the door open will ya ;)

5 years...

Ubuntu Server LTS has support for 5 years - taking 10.04 support out to 2015:

Title?

By that comment, do you actually mean that you dont want or need this laptop?

I would think that if someone out there wants an overpriced gimmicky laptop, then Sony has that base covered. And while they cover that base, you can get a different laptop.

Title goes here...

I see where you're going with that - but I can't see the same interface for a web site working on a 24 inch screen on the desktop and a 3-4 inch screen in your hand...

Oh dear...

I see - yes, they are all very specialist pursuits, I didn't even Autoroute still existed what with Bing maps, Google maps and all the integration with modern smartphones etc.

As for Wine, I agree (about running it as an emulator, not the red stuff) better to have native apps - so if you can't find them then I guess you are stuck in the old world.

Something I can agree on...

Something I can certainly agree on, though I doubt there'd be much difference?

All I know is it is like breathing fresh country air once usplash disappears and I log into a nice clean Ubuntu environment; ready for me to clunk up with proper productivity applications :)
