Hearing people pan the Microsoft Surface Pro at launch due to its supposed rivalry with iPad, it was quite obvious that they were uninformed.
For without a doubt, they were missing the importance of Surface Pro, both as a standalone product, and in the laptop category.
One thing the original Surface Pro was, and Surface Pro 2 improved on, was in the suitability of the device to be used as a laptop replacement.
Even after Microsoft’s Panos Panay took the time to elucidate them, the yum-yums still didn’t get it!
A faster CPU coupled with greater, about doubled battery life has made it the perfect Windows laptop, leapfrogging Surface Pro 2 logarithmically over the closest device, the Apple MacBook Air.
You can’t beat the value.
Resultantly, the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is the SmallBizWindows Laptop of the Year 2014.<
