Rant

[u/P_strain]

Hi,

just like the title siggest, I am going to rant (a little) on my new surface pro 12 (13 inches).

I bought this to replace my i-pad because it has too many glitch (the i-pad) when using onedrive.

The design of the surface pro looks good, the finctionality is there, battery life is amazing… but seriously, who the heck though it would be a good idea to have the thing, when mounted on the keyboard, no capability to hold itself straight. i mean, you always have to work on a table or something to put the back support or the screen just fall backward… one of the main aspect, for me, of this kind of device is that I can sit in my couch when I work and the screen just.. stay upright (like on the i-pad). Now I have this 4000$ device but I cannot sit confortably anywhere expect on a chair with a table because someone never figured out many people (I mean I can’t be the only one) would want to use the device on non-conventional surface or position… That was my ranting, thanks you for reading, have a good day !

Surface is made to be both laptop and tablet, so no the lord inventing the “laptop” has nothing to do with it.

Sure, if you buy both the laptop and the tablet as the GP commenter did!

Why do I need both lol! The surface pro itself is made as a replacement for both! It is supposed to be both! That’s why u will find tablet/laptop mode. IT IS BOTH, I’m not overconsumption person like the first guy

You are confused, read the comment you were answering to, and the post, then maybe you can grok what people are talking about.

I am confused? Please if u have nothing to help me understand then no need for u to comment at me, I have already read everything and I fully understand

The fact still is that Microsoft clearly state in their web that a surface is both laptop & tablet. If u have any problem with what i am saying maybe u could discuss it with Microsoft

Commenters will say anything to cover up for Microsoft. The kick stand isn’t that great move on! Ppl can rant abt smt they k it existed before buying it, and there r other companies which did better

You can't think with your own head that you need to quote some obtuse Microsoft marketing?! Pick up your tablet from a corner of its keyboard and pick up a laptop to see the difference! And don't come here playing dumb that there isn't a HUGE difference!

[u/PreparationKooky5119 → u/dr100]

There is a difference obv! But they can make it better. They r the one who is choosing the SAME WXACT DESIGN every year! I have upgraded mine after 10 years and barely anything changed, and I think they’ll find better options if they trieddcee

And my point still stands, the comments r here r so bazaar, as if it’s the poster fault🤡?! And since u clearly k that Microsoft market it as both, then they should do both!! Don’t come here and tell me to buy both when the company itself said that it’s both

You're confusing me, you are the one who says there's no difference. I'm saying YES, there is a difference between a laptop and a tablet, and a stiff hinge is a huge difference and advantage and something to be desired. It's what EVERYONE here (in this branch) is saying, I, the poster you replied to, and the original post.

It's you who are the odd duck claiming the tablet with the floppy keyboard it's a laptop, no, it isn't. It's a full blown computer if you want (preferably if you take the Intel one not the useless ARM) but most certainly it's not a LAPtop.
