^ When it comes to efficiency, Windows 8 is quite an improvement over Windows 7. The cause for all of the Windows 8 hate came from the UI, which felt like it was still a work in progress. Just another example of Microsoft rushing a 'beta p…

I still don't see why anyone would buy a Surface Pro so close to the release of Intel's Haswell Y-series (fanless). Y-series tablets are expected to have a much thinner chassis and a 7~9 hour battery life. Essentially what the Surface Pro should…

I mentioned this before and I'll say it again. Microsoft should have waited until this year to launch Surface devices running Windows 8.1. A Basic model, using Intel's brand new Bay Trail architecture and a Pro model, using fanless Haswell …
