Sad Reality of Apple's Users

Non-college ball fan.

Oh yeah, I said it.

This is a discussion forum, I know we have many Apple faithful who have begrudgingly adapted\adopted to the Surface Pro 3, but let's not attack someone who is participating in a Surface Enthusiast Forum, who is enthusiastic about using the device....

Frankly I'm surprised a thread like this is allowed in the main SP3 forum. It's completely off-topic.

I'll give you that one...moved to the appropriate forum.....

maybe what OP is tapping into is the xenophobia of so many Apple customers. the phablet is a case in point. iphonies derided the galaxy note as ridiculous (cf: Walt Mossberg's quip "like talking to a piece of toast") and defended to the death the 4" screen, but now they are giddy about their 6+ and how it is a "game changer". eyeroll-inducing

Exactly.

Well, my post was compering how they were using two devices instead of using the Surface. So to me I was on topic

 

[ctitanic]

Faced it. If you carry two devices is because you can't do all with just one of them.

And sometimes you even carry two devices plus your notes.

Do they know that Microsoft released the Surface Pro 3?
Do they Know about OneNote?

I'm mentioning the Surface PRO 3, so I'm on topic.

Got it, this subforum is more "on topic "

I think OP you're basic argument is a bit flawed, two dedicated devices can in many instances achieve a lot more than one 'all-in-one' device. I have an iPhone, but I wouldn't for a minute consider it good enough to replace my real camera. That is just one example of where two devices are better to have than one device that combines the functionality of both.

On topic - I have many times used my Surface 3 and iPad Mini at the same time:

• Writing on the SP3 while using the iPad for watching media, having research or news feed open.
• As a full second screen, it makes a much more portable second monitor than... a second monitor.

As you said, for you, the SP3 can do everything - but there is equally a lot it cannot do.

Tell me of anything that she (Robin Meade) needs to do that can't be done in a Surface Pro 3.

Such as?

Apps for a start, the Windows Store is shockingly bad compared to the App Store.
It can't last all day.
The camera's are not great.
It can't fit in a trouser or jacket pocket.

How could I possibly know that? There are hundreds of things, but I don't know, so I'm not starting topics ridiculing her.
