Microsoft Surface slabs borked by heat-induced DIM SCREEN OF DEATH

I have a Surface 2 and haven't experienced the dimming yet. Out of all the sites that I have read, this one has got to be populated by the most brainwashed sets of fans. Let people use what they want to use. They are just gadgets. I also have an iPad, Android tablet and phone, and Macs (previously) and PCs. Being a member of a cult (even a gadget cult) is not a good thing.

Hello! Still here! Surface 2! Way better than iPad! says slightly desperate Microsoft

Re: Own and use a Surface RT excellent laptop replacement

The Verge has it wrong even with respect to the original RT. Since I enjoyed using my Surface 2, I bought a RT for my parents. It comes with 16GB open WITH everything including MS Office installed. You can recover an additional 3GB by creating a USB recovery thumb drive. You can also add an additional 64GB via micro SD card.

With my Surface 2, it came with about 18GB free with MS Office installed. Another 3GB were freed when I created a USB recovery thumb drive. I then inserted a 64GB micro SD card. No matter how you try to spin it the storage options are actually better on a Surface.

Again, people take this way to seriously. At the very least, be honest about your arguments.

Re: Own and use a Surface RT excellent laptop replacement

My Surface 2 is serving as a laptop replacement for my business trips as well. I am mobile professional and not in IT. The amount of hate for an inanimate tablet is pretty hilarious. People need to stop taking these too seriously.
