At the very least the i7 models should be given Pro, kinda dumb.

People buy surfaces?

Good, windows 10s is needed because so many retards use PCs.

If you're a power user you shouldn't be using gay ass surface tablets anyway. Use a real laptop or desktop.

>>60584521
Buld a Custom PC if you want freedom

>>60585527
Who says this will be available in the future?
The only thing keeping the enthusiast PC market alive is pc gaming and even this is already slowly dying.

If it has an i5/i7, can't you just PXE boot to WDS and install Win 10 LTSB?

>>60585153

Who's the target market for a $2100 computer that can't run win32 applications?

10 years from now "your" computer is going to be an implanted chip required for citizenship and nobody even knows how it works or exactly what it does anymore

>>60587355
you don't know what the future is ball chin

if you are paying $2000, hell even $1000 for a machine, an extra $50 isnt a big deal

stick with your 15 year old ebay shitpads kiddo

>>60587391
>buy $100,000 car
>doesn't even come with gas

defend this

>>60587444
Have you ever bought a car? They charge everything extra

They're overpriced because they're neat to compete with MacBook Pros, which are similarly overpriced.
Being overpriced makes a product like a status symbol

>>60588652
*meant to compete with MacBook Pros

>>60588652
With the advantage that you don't need to setup boot camp :^)
However the 50$ os upgrade is an overkill

So one of two things

Don't buy these laptops
Or
Pay the 50 dollars for the upgrade

>999 4gb i5 128GB
>999 for 4GB of RAM

>>60589741
Or stop being retarded and accept the free upgrade to Pro before the year ends

Do you not know that being able to install only from the app store is going will protect a machine very little?

>>60589877
100% of viruses come from outside the windows app store. It will protect the machine fucking incredibly.

>>60589865
maybe its i7 with actual 4cores/4threads and not i7 with 2cores/4threads.
Literally i hate these i7 on laptops

If I remember correctly. You can upgrade Windows 10 S to Windows 10 Pro for free on the Surface Laptop until the end of 2017.

>>60590473
6600U and 7600U CPUs have a TDP of 15w

>>60584521
Why would anyone buy this?
I don't get it, it's literally the worst of windows and macs, without any of the possible advantages.

>>60589904
>>60586268
Yeah, but this is a Pajeetbook, they don't have that kind of blind following.

>>60584521
No it's free upgrade for many months actually

Yes, and that is a good thing.
Normal people cannot and do not want to write their own programs. So asking for a surcharge for that is okay.
In exchange, they get a Store that allows easy application discovery in a central place with less security issues.

Actually, Microcenter recently reported an increase in interest in system-building.

>>60585862

There isn't one. These things are full retard. Mac prices for a Windows computer that doesn't run Windows software by default.

>>60586268
>>60589904

Speaking as a Mac user, I get by just fine. For a similar price to what Microsoft asks in order to get a functional OS on the Surface Laptop, I can buy a Parallels Desktop license and pirate Windows, or vice versa, and have both MacOS *and* Windows running concurrently. Or I can just pirate both for nothing (which is exactly what I did!).

>>60589699

Fuck Boot Camp. If you don't need 3D acceleration, VMs are completely adequate, and impressively turn-key these days. I honestly think Apple should acquire Parallels Desktop (and related tools) and tap it as a successor to Boot Camp.

>>60589920

To be fair, almost 100% of useful software *also* comes from outside the Windows app store.

>>60592423

Hey, uhh... You know that the Mac bootloader explicitly allows you to install other OSes alongside the MacOS partition, right? It's not like Windows. It doesn't tell you to go fuck yourself if you want to use something else.

>>60593333

Pretty much this.

The Surface Laptop sucks.
