Posted July 19, 2013 Microsoft’s fourth-quarter earnings report has been released showing–not to our surprise–a major failure with the Surface RT.

Posted July 19, 2013 I don't think this comes as a shock to most people here. We were just waiting for confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 19, 2013 Really, I'm not surprised. Unless you're in the market for a tablet, most consumers aren't going to bother with a surface pro when they can get a touch screen laptop for less. The RT stood a better chance, imo, as it included office RT too and was priced more competitively than the pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 19, 2013 If I traveled a lot more, I would buy a Surface but I don't see a point unless your profession is something like graphic design, artist, and some sort of white-collar job. I'm not surprised. There are some Microsoft stores near where I live and I just went into one yesterday or Tuesday and they said that they dropped the price from something like $50- $150 USD, don't remember the original price and the sale price. I know that this is probably from sales being lower than they expected. "You Can't Buy Happiness, But You Can Buy Horsepower, And That's Kind of The Same Thing."

Typing on a Surface while it is on your lap--which it is during travel a lot--is almost impossible.

Posted July 19, 2013 Author It's a tablet not a laptop. If you buy a Surface for it to be a Tablet that does not make much sense, the whole point of it is that you attach the keyboard to it. Its way overpriced for a regular tablet since you can find far better ones for around $100 less than the Surface.
