Guys...

Guys, what if we - and here me out - what if we take all the computery stuff and move it from the base of the laptop to the screen?

congratulations, you invented tablet

Why knock the surface? One of the best purchases I ever made.

You'll regret it 2 years from now when it shits the bed and you realize that they literally cannot be repaired

I don't understand it. Why not just buy a laptop?

I'll just buy the new one

He did.

The surface is easier to use on trains

Using a laptop on a public subway is like asking strangers to rob you.

does this happen in your shithouse city lol?

come to a normal city where people have there laptops out all the time on PT

There's a good 75% chance that his surface pro might not die.

Maybe in NYC or Baltimore.

Maybe in Paris or London.

>trains
>public subway
do you know what a train is ?

what about put it all in the mouse?

Idk mate. My Surface Pro 2 running Linux is still in perfect condition. I use it for entertainment, mail and 'office' stuff while traveling - which I do a lot for work.

Try not living in a 3rd world shithole user.

>all major cities are now third world shitholes

>t. Amerimutt

I use my laptop in the train on my way to and from Amsterdam quite frequently. Never felt unsafe.

Cool.
So what do you do on a laptop underground? I'd imagine there's no wifi or cell signal so...?

>Underground

There are these fancy trains that run above the earth these days now.

>trains
>>B...BUT SUBWAYS AREN'T SAFE
>no, these are trains, not subways, it's different
>>B...BUT SUBWAYS ARE UNDERGROUND

Don't really have underground here but extending your question to general cases without wifi or cellular: it depends, but usually there's plenty of work left that doesn't require an internet connection. Either try some tweaks to a script or finish a presentation for a client or something. If there's really nothing offline left to do I take out my e-reader and read a book.

What are those things that cycle through subway tracks called?

Subways.

>working/shitposting on train
>not using that time to think about existential stuffs / life decision

There are 4G modems inside of the subway tunnels in the Netherlands.

...

The screen would be top heavy and the laptop would tip over...! Not such a deal breaker for touch typists who like Standing while Typing™, although their neck may suffer somewhat.

What should you buy from surface pro and surface book?

what do you mean by "computery stuff"? whats a computer?

bitch you know damn well what a computer is don't fucking play with me you smug sexually ambiguous fuck

Best in terms of lapability, why did I have to step on mine :(

I use a MBP now and it's just so uncomfortable having a giant, hot battery on top of your dick

I do quite like tablets in some cases. The weight being at the back does make it very easy to perch on smaller ledges sometimes, being able to get he keyboard totally out of the way is sometimes helpful as well, combining touch inputs with keyboard shortcuts makes a fairly nice compact user experience when you don't need to use a mouse much and touch pads being shit regardless. (not that laptops don't have this, but touch laptops are still not that common).

So get an iPad.
Or another Surface.

what's an iPad?

a kind of computer

>computer
holy fuck what the hell is that?

a machine you use to watch porn and shitpost from

sounds neat

Never heard of someone getting robbed of their laptop while using it on the TTC. Speak for yourself mutt.
