You can't write software, you can't run unsigned code, you don't even get a shell without paying the $50 extra for windows 10 pro.
You probably can't even run linux on it because of the locked bootloader.
Is it going to become industry standard to sell a personal computer that doesn't actually let you write software or execute unsigned code?
Am I going to have to jailbreak my computer 10 years from now?

At the very least the i7 models should be given Pro, kinda dumb.

People buy surfaces?

Welcome, to the real world.

Welcome, to comma, splice

Why have I been seeing this pink haired anime girl so much lately?

I don't see anything

Good, windows 10s is needed because so many retards use PCs.

If you're a power user you shouldn't be using gay ass surface tablets anyway. Use a real laptop or desktop.

Buld a Custom PC if you want freedom

Who says this will be available in the future?
The only thing keeping the enthusiast PC market alive is pc gaming and even this is already slowly dying.

If it has an i5/i7, can't you just PXE boot to WDS and install Win 10 LTSB?

OP could be an artist or something. I'm pretty sure they're the best for drawing things.

Congrats, you ARENT their target market.

Who's the target market for a $2100 computer that can't run win32 applications?

>windows 10s
>intel
FUCK. Way to shit all over your best product microshaft.

yours isn't waterproof either, it's spill resistant

>has no cumstains
Are you poor?

>b-b-but these ones are real laptops user!

lel

Apple seems to be making a killing off that market.

not anymore

Their laptop division is no longer profitable?

>Am I going to have to jailbreak my computer 10 years from now?

10 years from now "your" computer is going to be an implanted chip required for citizenship and nobody even knows how it works or exactly what it does anymore

you don't know what the future is ball chin

if you are paying $2000, hell even $1000 for a machine, an extra $50 isnt a big deal

stick with your 15 year old ebay shitpads kiddo

>buy $100,000 car
>doesn't even come with gas

defend this

Have you ever bought a car? They charge everything extra

They're overpriced because they're neat to compete with MacBook Pros, which are similarly overpriced.
Being overpriced makes a product like a status symbol

*meant to compete with MacBook Pros

With the advantage that you don't need to setup boot camp :^)
However the 50$ os upgrade is an overkill

So one of two things

Don't buy these laptops
Or
Pay the 50 dollars for the upgrade

>999 4gb i5 128GB
>999 for 4GB of RAM

Or stop being retarded and accept the free upgrade to Pro before the year ends

>he spills water on his electronics

>1000 dollars for 4 gigs of ram

what

>buying base model anything

8GB of memory is like $45, why the FUCK does it cost an additional $500?

> BEING A FAGGOT
Do you not know that being able to install only from the app store is going will protect a machine very little?

professional hipster, just like applefags

100% of viruses come from outside the windows app store. It will protect the machine fucking incredibly.

maybe its i7 with actual 4cores/4threads and not i7 with 2cores/4threads.
Literally i hate these i7 on laptops
>make i3
>call it i7
>charge 20x markup price

>FHD IPS upgrade kit + panel
Where do you find this?

>i7
>15 watt
what did they mean by this ?

If I remember correctly. You can upgrade Windows 10 S to Windows 10 Pro for free on the Surface Laptop until the end of 2017.

6600U and 7600U CPUs have a TDP of 15w

Why would anyone buy this?
I don't get it, it's literally the worst of windows and macs, without any of the possible advantages.

Yeah, but this is a Pajeetbook, they don't have that kind of blind following.

No it's free upgrade for many months actually

>buying a m$ anything
cant wait for the ryzen laptops. i saw an asus """teaser""" but it looked nice

I thought it was an old class ThioJoe tier joke. Lol, MS is becoming sh*t af.

>mfw he can't post on Sup Forums while underwater

It doesn't, and it's not just ram.

Anyone still complaining about Apple being overpriced now.

Not even mad, gonna swap the 128gb ssd for a 525gb ssd that I got from christmas sale and install ubuntu

Inb4 you have to jailbreak your mind to escape the botbet 10 years from now

>Is it going to become industry standard to sell a personal computer that doesn't actually let you write software or execute unsigned code?
Yes, and that is a good thing.
Normal people cannot and do not want to write their own programs. So asking for a surcharge for that is okay.
In exchange, they get a Store that allows easy application discovery in a central place with less security issues.

Post Windows key here so Microsoft can blacklist it for piracy

Not so gay now, is it?

Actually, Microcenter recently reported an increase in interest in system-building.

There isn't one. These things are full retard. Mac prices for a Windows computer that doesn't run Windows software by default.

Speaking as a Mac user, I get by just fine. For a similar price to what Microsoft asks in order to get a functional OS on the Surface Laptop, I can buy a Parallels Desktop license and pirate Windows, or vice versa, and have both MacOS *and* Windows running concurrently. Or I can just pirate both for nothing (which is exactly what I did!).

Fuck Boot Camp. If you don't need 3D acceleration, VMs are completely adequate, and impressively turn-key these days. I honestly think Apple should acquire Parallels Desktop (and related tools) and tap it as a successor to Boot Camp.

To be fair, almost 100% of useful software *also* comes from outside the Windows app store.

Hey, uhh... You know that the Mac bootloader explicitly allows you to install other OSes alongside the MacOS partition, right? It's not like Windows. It doesn't tell you to go fuck yourself if you want to use something else.

Pretty much this.

>this tasty butthurt

Not sure how I'm supposed to be butthurt. Just rolling through to dispel some of the standard Sup Forums bullshit, as usual.

The Surface Laptop sucks.

Show me another laptop with a 3:2 aspect ratio and I'll happily buy it

The surface doesn't exist.

Helo when surface with Ryzen APU? :---D??

>Anime
Hi.
Kill yourself.

>$2199

what the fuck it's not even a real i7, it's one of those rebranded i3s with the 2 cores with 4 fake threads

literally never

There's the Internet and common sense for that.

Damn that's a really fucking good deal.

>tfw top tier 2015 MBP masterrace

Do wish I got a bigger SSD version tho, I'm gonna swap it out when my apple care expires, or maybe before then
