So, both tablets mentioned have a premium price but both have crappy resolution. Who would pay that kind of money for a table with 1366x768?

If you're also talking about the Pro tablets then that's incorrect, those have a 1920x1080 resolution.

RT was a bad deal all the way around though. No developers, no apps, slow Tegra 3 internals, low res 16:9 display, all priced similarly to much faster and higher res tablets with huge developer support.

Surface Pro is a different story, and I think that Haswell will give them a major boost. The Thinkpad Helix with Haswell should be really nice. My main beef with the Surface Pro aside from the aspect ratio (it should be 16:10) is the keyboard. As much as Microsoft advertises the smart cover and how expensive it is, it really isn't a good keyboard (the one for RT barely even qualifies as a keyboard).

I expect that whatever keyboard Lenovo releases on theirs will be excellent.


I'll keep my 1600x900 Sony Vaio Z.

Has SSD's in Raid 0 and weight is about 3 lbs.
