"Can you honestly tell us you watched the videos?"
- Yes I did. But my main point is, the post, isn't kinda review. Kickstand issue and mail app issues , isn't that big to be dither about. Approach to response should be more sort of balanced rather than fault-finding and whining.
" it was specifically marketed as the work-friendly tablet."
- But that doesn't mean that we should expect powerhouse performance and after all its RT. Wait for pro if you want that performance. At least it is doing something better than other competition? No one can deny that its better in terms of "work-ready" than iPad or Android tab. Instead of whining about small issues why can't be appreciate what they are trying to build ?
"They are not competing against first generation offering. This is not some child thats needs love and support. This is a commercial product from a for-profit company at a high price."
- Its something like complaining why new hybrid car in market not running x miles at xx speed , when a company brings new hybrid car in market at the time every car maker are busy making gas cars.
There are flaws out there. But which product in world don't have them. Are they something, which you can claim that, you are returning your product for ?
I don't think his post and reason are highly analytic. Rather its result of working so hard to find out even smallest issue with Microsoft's new product No product are perfect in that regard. Remember first iPhone ? first Android ? first iPad ?
Camera viewpoint doesn't cover your face when you put tablet on kickstand mode? put it little away. what's wrong. Other leading tablets in market doesn't even have one. Its been stated design wonder along with cover with keyboard. Should appreciate instead.
All issues noted in this article are exaggeration except the live sign-in bug while saving office doc.
Another quote from Jeff Bezos :
"A publisher called me and said, ‘I don't think you understand your business. Your business is to sell books. Why are you allowing these negative reviews of my book on your site?’” Bezos’ answer was, “I'm not in the business of selling books. I'm in the business of helping customers make a good buying decision."
