    What did the Surface tablets use, because I remember some of them having fans inside.

    That is a total nonstarter for any tablet.
    The Surface 3 is the only Surface tablet to use an atom chip and it was fanless.

    The Surface Pro 4 is fanless for the Core m3 version. Only the Core i5 and Core i7 models have a discrete fan, but it only turns on when the device is at high load.

    What a joke. Talk about a low class tablet.

    Imagine having a phone or a tablet and there is a damn fan inside of it? 

    Do people who buy those have plumbing and running water at home?

    Ok. Great. I have purchased very few Intel products outside of Macs. The Atom was the one I purchased most often, to make small low power servers. I guess I will be switching to ARM servers instead.
    Apollo Lake with Goldmont cores is still coming (replacing Braswell), so that shouldn't be a problem. Only SoFIA and Broxton (smartphones/tablets) have been cancelled.

    With iOS maturing it won't be long before surface is obsolete.

    MS should enjoy all their sales/appeal now because iOS isn't slowing down.
    Part of the Surface's appeal is the ability to run just about any productivity app. Not even OS X has that level of parity. I don't see iOS exceeding that anytime soon.

    iPad Pro has literally replaced my wife's laptop.  It really is an amazing device.

    The surface is a compromised product because it is not a good tablet at all. I have no idea why someone would buy a Surface instead of an iPad Pro or Macbook.


    The Surface is running Windows 10 and can function in place of both an iPad Pro or MacBook.  You make it sound so black and white, like a hybrid device must be a terrible solution. Versatility, performance and capabilities are what makes the Surface unique. Often it will be up to the user to best utilize a device's capabilities in its respective form factor.
