Tech products don't have to look like dog shit to be good you autistic hipster.
>>54201054
that marketing video is really too much apple
"we believe in making everyday objects beautiful" kek
>>54201054
They're trying too hard with this cover. The Surface Tablet itself is already exudes better quality than any Apple product with the MgAlloy chassis, the regular type cover already provides a good keyboard and great touchpad, using pleather would actually make things worse in terms of user experience.
>>54201166
yo niggerfaggot I can appreciate the design of the surface. I own a SP3.
Priceng this cover 50 bucks above the other colors is a hipster move.
Because its grey. and "lives with you" and "changes over time".
They start selling things you can't touch. A feeling.
Like apple.
Am I wrong?
I asked this a few days ago on /sqt/ but didn't get any answers, but since it's relevant now;
What do you call that greyish colour of sweatpants?
>>54201309
in the clothing industry its called grey "heather"
>>54201291
>MgAlloy chassis
Aluminium is clearly superior for this use case over magnesium. The only reason why Microsoft uses it is to be able to market it as something new and supposedly better than everyone else. You fell for it too, congrats, microshill.
>We believe in making everyday objects beautiful
No you don't.
>>54201054
Winfags will cheer and praise this, remarking on its beauty and elegance. Then completely shut up in a few weeks when the fabric starts peeling away where there are cutouts for the keys.
>>54201309
marl grey
>>54201054
Yeah also the surface tablet is overpriced shite
>>54201473
could you point me to another fanless tablet with 3:2 ratio, high dpi, stylus for notetaking, more than 8 hour battery life, actually non shite materials and design, amirit?
>>54201389

>>54201389
I don't want to start anything, but in what way would aluminum be a better material for this usecase as opposed to MgAlloy?
>>54201602
Ah shit, didn't mean to quote so many times.
>>54201602
None, the fag is just a shitty appleshill, just ignore them.
The Surface line has faced record profits in the laptop/tablet industry and the other manufacturers aren't taking it lightly. The Dell XPS and Appleshills are going full damage control mode.
>>54201602
Better mechanical properties, better thermal conductivity. It's a little lighter, but it really doesn't matter much.
It's not a big difference, but aluminium is the better material for that use.
>>54201656
Maybe I'm retarded, but can you tell me specifically what mechanical properties aluminum has? (My father is wanting a new laptop and is on the fence between new MBP and SBP)
>>54201656
That's why pro photo bodies made from magnesium and not from bendlyminium?
>>54201538
>fanless
the surface pro has a fan
>>54201656
The Surface Pro 4 runs cooler while having more powerful processors and being much thinner than Macbook Pros and there's no reports of denting and corrosion like Macs are prone to.
I wonder if it can survive the rubbing of my sweaty palms that can even erode metal.
>>54202090
Surface should be fine. I had a mac and this is the result of med-heavy usage on the palmrest.
>>54202090
dude...
I have an elitebook for work. this shit is pretty much
indestructable. whats going on with your sweat??
>>54202171
4 years of daily use.
>>54201054
Can't wait to rub Cheeto residue into it.
>>54201054
i wouldnt mind a material like that on a REAL laptop like a dell xps or something. Not this tablet/laptop hybrid rubbish.
Jesus fucking Christ, can this shitty picture frame stand "design philosophy" just fucking die already?
>>54201054
i got to use a surface pro 3 a year or so ago and it was a really nice tablet.
shits over anything android or ishit have made.
But its still a useless piece of memetech
at least it looks nice though
>>54201978
surface pro 4 m3 does not
>>54201054
No one can beat apple at shitty advert targeted at morons (as primal apple userbase)
>>54203543
>dislike Apple business practices
>being offered interview at Apple store
wot
speaking of it:
Do you think it is worth getting a decked out Surface pro 4,
if you already have a SP3 with i7, 8gb ram, 512gb ssd?
>>54202143
With what, a fucking wristwatch?
Pitting only happens with high amounts of friction and a breach of the anodized layer.
>>54203755
Do you need 1024 pressure sensitivity levels? Chances are no but that's pretty much the only reason
>>54204771
>>54201054
yeah just get the new type cover and you are good.
>>54202090
Is that plastic under the metal?
>$160 for a shitty keyboard
worse than apple
>>54203847
college kids put their parent's money to work by constantly shoving their macbook in and out of their backpack/purse/manpurse/with metal things inside of it.
I guess
>>54204944
No. The laptop material is actually decent quality. This baby has seen some massive abuse and is still going.
>>54201054
No. It's the same sort of video Nokia has been doing for the last fifteen years. go look at Nokia product videos on Youtube, you will see exactly the same CGI, Music, feel.
>>54201309
the professional term would be "comfy grey"
>>54201309
Heather grey you faggot, have you ever shopped online?
never go full apple
