>live long enough to see your PC becoming a phone
>>62270550
we already lived long enough to see the phone become a pc (android is just a linux distro)
I hope they make the same mistake they did with the surface
>>62270603
It's not only Surface. Asus, Lenovo and HP PCs too.
>>62270583
No. Android is a Phone OS.
>>62270603
How cheap and powerful is the Snapdragon 835?
>>62270672
>Asus, Lenovo and HP PCs too.
So, just like the surface and the other handful of ARM winRT tablets.
>Android is a Phone OS.
It uses the linux kernel
>>62270691
>they have the guts to advertise this in a positive manner
>>62270726
Most people who use don't know it's linux. Android is based on Linux, but that doesn't make it a PC.
>>62270726
>WinRT
Except this time, they will emulate the x86 apps:

Curious to see how will ARM evolve on the desktop market.
>>62270797
Yeah, the only two questions are:
Will they allow unsigned apps this time?
How long until they remove the emulator with forced updates?
>>62270550
Will normies realize that """always connected""" means fucking botnet?

When Google will stop tracking me with all their shit including the smartphone i use who run on Android. When do you think it will happen?
>>62270886
Learn English, you stupid shill
And your point is not relevant, both google and microsoft track you anyway. But google does not force you to use their store
>>62270822
"Always Connected" refers to LTE Gigabit technology i think.
>>62270923
>says something relevant
>call me a shill
wew.
FYI, Google is the one who is worst at that along with facebook. And M$ and JewGoogle aren't the only one to do that in fukin 2017. Every company does. Do you ever go out?
>>62270994
>b-but google is worse! Facebook too!
So what? As I said already, this is completely irrelevant to the points I made.
>>62270934
Nope, just a buzzword and probably the same as the "connected standby" of older windows tablets
>>62271057
You can't be always connected without LTE.
Tume traveling review from 2012.

Make sure you resd the software part and why it was a collosal cluster fuck then, as much as it is now.
>>62271193
well they got >>62270797 this time so it's probably a bit better, but im not convinced at all.
>>62271193
>x86-compatible programs will run on the Surface tablet once the "full-version" of Windows 8 is launched.
heh
>>62270797
Sound interesting.
>>62270550
>failed with Windows RT
>trying again
I wish my RT tablet wasn't so useless due to lack of everything. It has desktop applications, but you can't install others because it only runs signed executables.
>>62270813
This.
>>62270797
not gonna lie, pretty awesome. The first gen of this probably gonna be so-so due to performance but in 5 years? Might not need Intel CPUs in most laptops anymore.
Wonder how soon Apple will ditch x86 for ARM and implement a similar x86 emulator for legacy apps.
>>62272004
You forgot that AMD exists.
Zen is silly good at lower voltages.
>>62271772
hmm?
