just compare it to samsung galaxy note 10.1 in this question and you will get the idea who is thinking of consumers.

that s**t is not even worth mentioning. The interface is tedious, completely opposite to the phone. Android gets ugly on 10-in tablet screen while 7-in is fine. only two to consider are nexus 7 and kindle fire.

Galaxy note is a real tablet which is very powerful and productive. A clue word is a tablet. Surface is a compromise between a netbook and a tablet. Besides the sammy's tablet was ranked as high as 8.5 by ifixit. It's possible to replace a lot of components by yourself in the that tablet. 90 screws in the pro? This is a nonsense.

Nothing is perfect in this world...everything needs to be repaired one day....

MS has re-invented the concept of throw-away - if the Surface breaks, you throw it away. Lets see, now... How long is the warranty?

Invest on a nice ultrabook in same price ... :)
