Re: Microsoft FAIL
Unlike Apple, the tainted Microsoft brand does not deserve a premium tax..
Anyhow, if it's a Win10 machine you're looking to buy, you'll get better value for money getting something from Lenovo, HP, Dell etc.
When Microsoft first launched the Surface device (iPad wannabe), it was unofficially declaring war on the hardware OEMs, which for years had a working relationship with Microsoft. The OEMs understood this, that's why they're exploring ARM and Android alternatives to Wintel.
In any case, Microsoft might want to consider using AMD Ryzen chips for its future Surface devices. When it comes to these tablets and laptops, thermal temperatures and power efficiency matter much, much more than winning the geek-bragging trophy on a benchmark test.
