Microsoft razprodaja še Surface Pro

"AllThingsD's intrepid reporter Ina Fried has an interview up where Asus chairman and CEO Jonney Shih says they will not make any more Windows RT devices until Microsoft proves demand for the product. This leaves Dell as the only OEM who has not sworn off Windows RT. Dell is seeking to take itself private, relying on a $2 billion loan from Microsoft."
Turns out people want things that are the size of a laptop to work as well as a laptop.

"More bad news for Microsoft: Acer is apparently rethinking their Windows strategy, planning to offer fewer Microsoft products and focus more on products delivered by Redmond's rival Google, in the form of Chromebooks and Android devices. This comes after Acer's second-quarter earnings call, where the Taiwanese company posted a surprise second-quarter loss, having unexpected lower sales and rising expenses. Acer's change of plans comes not long after Asus' CEO announced that the company would no longer make Windows RT products until Microsoft proves there's real demand."

Samsung may be pulling its Windows RT-running Samsung Ativ Tab from the market in Germany and other areas of Europe because nobody's buying.
Well, the official phrase is probably "weak demand" but it basically boils down to the same thing.
The reports come from German site Heise.de, which cites a Samsung spokesman talking to them at CeBIT as the source.

Tablice bodo seveda nadomestile laptope (vsaj pri končnih uporabnikih). Tako, kot so laptopi nadomestili bež škatle pod mizo. In ja, MS ma s tem nekaj težav. Nihče v resnici ne mara njihovih nadomestkov...

Kdo pa so koncni uporabniki? Ja sebe smatram za koncnega uporabnika. :) Laptopi so nadomestili le del skatel pod mizo in tablice bodo nadomestile le del laptopov.

Vsak malo bolj resen razvoj je precej bolj neroden in zamuden na manj kot dveh ali treh zaslonih. Imeti en dodaten zaslon na prenosniku je nerodno in ne-ergonomsko, da bi pa imel dva, pa se nisem videl prenosnika, ki bi to podpiral. Razvoj na tablicah je pa itak verjetno sala.

Priblizno isto je pa z bolj 'casual' uporabniki.

Če rabiš 2 24" ekrana, ti sigurno noben laptop niti tablica ne morta pomagat. Ampak 90% folka doma tega ne rabi. Je pa fino imet doma nekaj kar odneseš s seboj na kavč, ali pa še kam...
