Neither [Apple, Amazon or Google] has a product that you can use, that lets you work and play, that can be your tablet and your PC. Not at any of those price points.

The Macalopes not really sure where Microsofts Swiss Army knife obsessionto have one device that does everythingcame from. It certainly doesnt seem to have resulted from actual humans who buy technology products, or at least not from that many of them.

Yes, syncing can be a pain sometimes, but how realistic is it to expect to have your one device to rule them all have just 32 GB of space? The Macalopes iPhoto library alone is that big.

This isnt to say the horny one sees no appeal at all to the Surface. He actually had a chance to lay his hooves on one and it was an interesting device. But its an interesting device tied to an uninteresting past. This isnt 1998. The Macalope has no need or desire to run bloated desktop applications everywhere he goes. He doesnt run spreadsheets much and hed rather take a poke to the eye with all of the sharp sticks than use Microsoft Word for reason.

Of course, some people still do need to run Office applications. We call them the damned and take pity on them.
