screenshots on Surface: press and hold Windows button then tap volume down. Thanks @edbott http://t.co/dN6roXEW

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I think that's the key misunderstanding on Surface. It is not a tablet killer; wasn't meant to be. It is, however, a laptop killer.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Surface RT is flawed like any v1 product. But the more I use it, the more I think this touch + keyboard form factor is the future of laptops

I give the Surface RT the same recommendation people gave the iPad 1: it's early times, yes, but the concept is sound and it works.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
the only valid ding on Surface RT is the low-res display. Keyboard, metro, performance, (limited) apps: it all works.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Surface RT is very impressive. It is the car that flies and floats. Whether it *should* do those things is for you to decide.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
it's telling that the tiny Surface cover touchpad works better than the one on most PC laptops.

Surface just arrived! First impression: this is undeniably a very well made device. And Metro is great for touch.
