Comment Cloning a failure would be a failure.... (Score 4, Insightful) 252
Cloning something a failure like Surface seems silly, if you're going to clone something clone something that is a success in the marketplace.
If I want a table, I will buy an iPad - it works nicely as a consumption device.
If I want to do a little more work, I will buy a Macbook Air. I don't really need a touch screen, in fact I find it a little annoying having fingerprints all over the screen. I also tend to sit back when using the computer and having to lean forward to touch the screen is actually more effort than just using my mouse. Call me old fashioned.... but I don't find it an improvement in usability when it comes to working on a computer. It works nicely when you are using an iPad and reading a book or watching a video.... Two different user interfaces in one machine is not useful to most.
