>>60176943
Probably some entry level laptop. You know, the kind of hardware /g/ would never buy

Surface Laptop: 13.5-in PixelSense display, 4 colors (Platinum/Burgundy/Cobalt Blue/Graphite Gold), Alcantara-covered keyboard, Windows 10 S
Starting at $999 in USA


Yeah, no

>>60176897

>>60177017
Is OP's a surface laptop? Looks kinda comfy, but dunno if the specs are worth it.

>>60177041
Yeah, I just reverse searched the image. Too bad the keyboard is covered in a fursuit.

>>60176978
I love cheap chink shit laptops. I usually buy 1 decent laptop every 4-5 years and a budget laptop <$400 almost anually. Maximum cozy.

also:
Intel Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage.

It's not suede, it's alcantara. Alcantara is composed of about 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane, giving increased durability and stain resistance. The appearance and tactile feel of the material is similar to that of suede, and it may be incorrectly identified as such.

Got my mom something similar (and at that price point) to replace her previous netbook.

She just needs it for light office and web browsing, most of the markup was probably the 32GB SSD (most likely a joke) and pre-installed Windows 10.

720p, TN, 2gb ram, 64gb flash, ARM,

I just hope they just make a sandbox for not only in Windows Store programs but also outside that.
While maybe it's true that it will make windows rewrite the code, but it's so obvious w$ just want to jew out you so you upgrade it from S to home or pro edition.
I hope they would make it for non-Windows Store soon or later though.

>>60177054
Fursuit is pretty great. It's the same material that's on the keyboards of the surface pro and those hold up to stains n shit.

It's like they decided to rip off Chromebooks but they missed the entire fucking point.

Sure slim down the system to an i5, keep the ram the same. $499 or even $699, this might be feasible.

But christ $999 for a laptop that can't run normal apps, is underpowered for what you pay for, and when people have been waiting for a refresh on Surface Pro line, What the fuck are they thinking?

Someone needs to be fired for this.

>>60178331

>>60178482

No, you missed the fucking point. Chromebook Pixel was $1200 and couldn't do one tenth what this does.

>>60178483
Makes no sense, disable the touchscreen in the bios or just don't use it? It's not like apple shit doesn't have glossy screen.

>>60178513
The Chromebook Pixel was $999, had 8GB of RAM, an SD card slot, higher resolution screen, better build quality, TWO usb-a ports, and TWO usb-c ports, and came out 2 years ago.

>>60176897
seems to be US only.
Windows 10 S is prolly even illegal in EU since you are forced to use Edge as your browser.

>>60179028
if you configure it the same as an MacBook Pro w/o Touch Bar (i7 option for Iris igp, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) it's $1599, so $100 more than Apple.
If later on the Win10 Pro upgrade isn't free anymore, you have to add another $50.

It’s a simplified version of the Windows operating system aimed at classroom use that can only run content from the Windows Store. Windows 10 S laptops will be able to run full desktop programs so long as they’re available in the Windows Store, unlike Chromebooks.
I don't even want this shit. The Windows Store is empty and this isn't going to fix it. It's gonna be like Windows RT all over again. You're paying a thousand bucks for a gimped version of Windows.

>>60179282
>The Windows Store is empty and this isn't going to fix it
The reality is that it might just save it. The requirement for desktop software to work on 10S is not that it's made from the ground up using UWP, only that it's published on the Windows Store, which is a much more realistic objective, and one that would give the Store a lot more software and exposure without much effort.

The problem is what happens if this works. What happens if Microsoft finds itself with a Store full of software and starts to believe that people should no longer have the "need" to install stuff directly?

>Looking at the past few years of Apple products, you’ll recognize one common thread: Apple as a company values GPU performance. As a small customer of Intel’s, Apple’s GPU desires didn’t really matter, but as Apple grew, so did its influence within Intel. With every microprocessor generation, Intel talks to its major customers and uses their input to help shape the designs. There’s no sense in building silicon that no one wants to buy, so Intel engages its customers and rolls their feedback into silicon. Apple eventually got to the point where it was buying enough high-margin Intel silicon to influence Intel’s roadmap. That’s how we got Intel’s HD 3000. And that’s how we got here.

No it's a macbook ripoff, look at the design,
They were comparing it to macbooks in specs. Fucking retarded since half the point of macbooks is you get glorious OSX and future proofing with USB C etc. While with this you get Windows 10 S(hit)

Proof that ms shills are real

Who the fuck would type this and believe it?

Lets face it, ms shills are on this board. There's that screencap floating around of the Windows phone shilling you pajeets were doing. I know what you are up to.

>>60180708
Oh god

Every day I am astounded again at how MS is committing suicide.

It almost feels like they are compromised by the competition, like someone higher up is purposely making bad decisions.

Where the fuck is that surface pro 5 dammit?

>Additionally, the default search provider in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer cannot be changed

Yikes, I'm not sure who thought that would be a good idea.

is there any way we can split off /g/ windows users into a new containment board so that we can keep the discussion here to unix and unix-like operating systems only?

>>60180585
Like maybe two years.

It gets better though. Amazon will merge with Walmart, all food will be delivered by drones, and if violate their terms of service (insulting lord bezos or whatever) you just fucking starve to death.

Ah yes, this is why microsoft "won".

>>60179951
Jesus, what was Microsoft thinking?

>>60185752
It is, starting price is 999$

>>60186795
For a locked down piece of shit, only idiots would buy this.

>>60186767
They probably figured that right now USB-A > USB-C so had to sacrifice "muh-thinness" for the USB-A port.

Naturally, it's just another microsoft product flop.
If they really wanted to grab marketshares or whatever their aim is. They would need to make a laptop with 12.5inch 2560x1440 IPS screen, along with a i5/i7 CPU, 8GB/16GB RAM and 256/512GB SSD for 399$/699$
This is of course not possible if they could, they would shift the market towards them.

>Bitlocker remote desktop and non store apps are for professionals

Remember when people downloaded shit off google and installed it?
Remember when you realized windows remote desktop was shit and teamviewer actually fucking worked?
Remember when you learned that Bitlocker is fucking backdoored to fuck and no one in any industry anywhere would touch it with a 10 foot pole?
Did you feel like a pro when you did all that shit?

I fucking hate Microsoft so much.

Considering the amount of "normies" that use iTunes for their iPhones I don't see how this could even remotely be true. Sell somebody a $1k+ laptop and they're gonna be PISSED when they take it home to find out they can't install iTunes on it.

why does it say start at $189?
they start at $999

I'll buy it if I can put linux on it and it gets 10 hours of battery life.

I've had my asus x205ta for 2 years and it's been a workhorse of a netbook.

They literally marketed this thing based on the fact that there are no external seams or screw heads visible or detectable on the exterior.

>>60188308
It's $999, OP is a homosexual

Besides, it's basically a laptop with Windows Phone on it

>>60185634
>I'm not sure who thought that would be a good idea.
It has some utility in an education SKU, you let kids install whatever browser they want but you guarantee your shitty school intranet is always going to open in Edge/IE which you test for compatibility with. That's doubly useful if you have your site open Explorer windows for you, since any other browser and that doesn't work.

Windows 10 S will kill this product before it's even available. Microsoft blunders again.... Next thing you know they gonna come out with a device that won't let you use it without an internet connection and a valid microsoft account attached.

The anti Microsoft shills are out in force today. There's a lot you can hate about MS but they're occupying the exact same price points as the various chromebooks from low to high as this is pitched at schools just like the chromebook and not the average consumer.

>>60177317
Integrated cloud storage is a fucking meme and just another excuse for shipping this overpriced piece of shit with a low capacity storage medium.
It's like they're not even trying designing these things and it's fooling almost nobody. Even the ultra-normies and old people are getting Macbooks.

>>60189908

Ah, I missed that. You're right. Having Wi-Fi means free Bluetooth in lots of cases.

>>60193001

It's not a meme. Cloud storage is the easiest form of data mining.

Laptops only ___start___ at $189. What you have pictured and what Microsoft has been promoting everywhere starts at $999.

What you'll get for $189 is some trash-tier netbook that won't even boot up properly.
