[QUOTE=latin_geek;39535255]crappy mashup music[/QUOTE] Whoa hey guys forget the iPad guy, let's jump on this faggot
[QUOTE=Protocol7;39535338]Why, because people jumped on me because I own an iPad? Get over yourself. I also own an RT tablet and that shit is going out to the curb.[/QUOTE] Might as well raffle it off if you hate it that much.
Calm down everyone, lets talk about the video! I like it. I'd rather watch a silent unboxing then have someone talk during it. I like the music choice too.
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;39534802]nobody gives a fuck about what you think of the surface take your arguments elsewhere[/QUOTE] Why? He's voicing his opinion. There's no reason to crucify the guy when he's posting an argument regardless of his preference in device. Instead of telling him to leave, maybe people should post arguments against him. And why does it matter if he's using an iPad. Nowhere did he claim the iPad was some godlike device. If fact, he only brought it up when someone else called him out for it.
im posting from an iphone can I be hated?
And, for the OP, just download whatever apps are the most downloaded on the app store. There is nothing particularly amazing on it at the moment. The real magic happens when you realize you can install anything you want on it.
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;39534802]nobody gives a fuck about what you think of the surface take your arguments elsewhere[/QUOTE] I know protocol was a complete ass/threadshitting (and not posting something I agree with, either.) about this, but aren't opinions and arguments legal on this forum? If it was an opinion/argument everyone agreed with, meatpuppet would've been rated dumb rather than protocol.

I really want to see one in person... see if the color reproduction and black levels are really like everyone says.
Wow apparently you can't have an opinion if you own an idevice? I know he was a dick in a couple posts but wow guys
[QUOTE=latin_geek;39536116] this comment getting 10 agrees is exactly the reason why SH is the worst subforum[/QUOTE] I don't disagree with you but This is not sh
[QUOTE=latin_geek;39536116]Wow apparently you can't have an opinion if you own an idevice? I know he was a dick in a couple posts but wow guys[/QUOTE] I don't care whether he has an iPad or not (the mini isn't that expensive anyway, but the new 128GB's price is ridiculous imo), but going into a thread and posting this: [QUOTE=Protocol7;39534491]congratulations you just wasted $900[/QUOTE] Is just fucking stupid. I respect Protocol 7's opinion and so on, but making such a post isn't a "I just want to discuss this" - statement.
I wouldn't get a surface pro just JUST yet. I'm just waiting for other Win8 devices, if I had the cash I'd get the Win8 Vaio slate convertible nearly for everything. Is 8 really worth trying out?
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;39537533]At least he didn't buy an Android tablet.[/QUOTE] That's a pretty unfair comparison
I wonder if the pro could run steam :v:
[QUOTE=Protocol7;39534657]OK so explain to me how the surface pro is good It has pisspoor battery life for a tablet, it weighs twice that of any other tablet, it takes up more space than an 11"ultra book when deployed, has a tiny, high-resolution screen which is fucked up by Windows' shitty DPI scaling, oh and it gets really fucking hot and you have to cough up $130 for a useable keyboard cover Whether of not I own an iPad is irrelevant to the fact that the surface pro is trash. [editline]9th February 2013[/editline] Oh and you can't charge it and have the pen docked at the same time, so better buy spares[/QUOTE] you remind me of godofgta3
[QUOTE=Anglor;39537579]That's a pretty unfair comparison[/QUOTE] Nah android tablets are pretty damn useless. This is coming from an android fan.
Can Surface run like a normal laptop? [editline]10th February 2013[/editline] Like multi task and run Steam and use the desktop etc etc

[editline]9th February 2013[/editline] Oh and you can't charge it and have the pen docked at the same time, so better buy spares[/QUOTE] Dude what the fuck is wrong with you? Is there even a reason to do this? Why do people do this? Its so puzzling sometimes.
it's not really a huge deal but generally speaking "Silent Unboxing" means you don't talk/play music and the only sound in the video is the actual box being opened so i was sort of disappointed when the video started, but you chose a pretty good song anyway so it balances it out
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;39537623]I know, the Surface Pro doesn't lag, actually has apps designed for a tablet sized display and still gets a better battery life than the average Android tablet.[/QUOTE] My Nexus 7 doesn't lag, lasts 12 hours of screen on usage and has a multitude of apps designed for tablet displays. But I can admit that the Surface Pro looks pretty nice.
The surface is a sexy looking device, with a nice screen. I'm not sure about the pricepoint and the other downsides though If I can ever put linux on the thing then I might grab one if I see it on sale [editline]10th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Scot;39537892]Nah android tablets are pretty damn useless. This is coming from an android fan.[/QUOTE] speak for yourself I find myself using my Nex.7 a hell of a lot, and it's the most smooth experience I've ever had with a mobile device, even in comparison with my iDevices. [editline]10th February 2013[/editline] The Nex.10 is also a pretty great device, but it doesn't pack enough power for it to be worth it. [editline]10th February 2013[/editline] Also OP, nice song, but it doesn't really fit the video Might I reccomend making your videos with less loud music and some speech commentary?
[QUOTE=Protocol7;39534491]congratulations you just wasted $900[/QUOTE] well he's still using his razr phone, so he saved some money there :v:
I like how you tried to put the pamphlet of stuff from the keyboard plastic holder back in but you're like "fuck it"
I really want a surface it's a shame its only out in the US / Canada, I can't even find any retailers that ship internationally
I would only buy a Surface Pro if the price point went WAY down. It's a nice device and I love that it can run native Windows applications but I can't see spending $900 on a tablet when I can buy an Ultrabook for $200 less and just not have a touchscreen.

(excluding loading something like the Rage modding tools because of it's laughably tiny hard drive space, unless you have a microsd or something)

I couldn't help but think about Nathan Barnatt while watching the video.
oh and he wasted/spent, whatever the kids call it, $1000. He has the 128gb version.
