Not so sure, it will not even have remote desktop (from the surface specs). MS is really making a point of setting up security on the PRO version, and positioning this as a home/entertainment device.

Actually, I don't think RT's can join a domain. But this certainly is perfect for a student who used to have an ipad to watch videos while in class, and a pc to do real work. Now in most cases you only need the Surface RT.

"The Surface's proprietary magnesium construction is strong as hell. At one point, a team leader brought out a Surface with skateboard wheels affixed to it and rolled back and forth standing on top. It barely flexed" - videos please !!!

Parents should realize that up to now, even if your kid had an ipad in school/college, you'd still need a pc to do actual work. This one comes with office, including onenote. No need for an additional pc in many cases. It's not just an entertainment device, it does real work.

Except this one comes with office. For a student, you don't need a pc in addition to your ipad to do actual work. This one will do.

one is flatter, the other one the keys stick out more

No, they already by a shittier brand at outrageous prices. It's called apple.

I really think their ads should say 'because you don't need an app for that'.

Actually, you don't need an app for that on windows phones, it's built-in.

Yep, I had the same thought! But to be fair, I feel like I'm hoarding shortcuts - there should be a better way to organize this (favorites for browser links isn't enough - too much old crap there, and I need local shortcuts too).

Your mom sat on it

Leaving the lumia 920 out with the excuse of only comparing to 'phones people are actually going to buy' is biased, and should have been included to at least pretend this 'study' was something worth reading. Crappy article about a crappy camera/phone.

I hope this isn't accurate - the three buttons on the same side makes it impossible to use the majority of holders out there without blocking one of them. Engineers don't seem to use the products they designed...

Please stop calling these holograms - that stupid marketers do it, I can understand, but Giz shouldn't spread the BS.

Better yet, install the translator app, which will be included in bing search later, but for now is a separate app. You'll be able to translate live camera feeds, or even voice: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/2cb7cda1-17d8-df11-a844-00237de2db9e

Kinect video currently works with messenger accounts, but I expect xbox to have a skype app in the future.

Damn, beat me to it.

Agreed - I actually only use tweeter to follow companies or very specific professionals - don't use it for personal stuff at all.

If it doesn't run visual studio it's not a computer...
