Re: Surfacebook

The camera that points at the user/keyboard is fixed focus, so you must be at the precise distance from the unit to be in focus when in web meetings.
The front facing camera isn't high enough resolution to take good pictures of products.
We compared the pictures to the iPad Air and the objects pictured look like different colors altogether and lose all resolution when zoomed in.
The camera app is hard to use for cropping, etc. We couldn't get auto focus to work even close to making picture taking easy.

The Edge browser also had a nasty habit of just disappearing, bringing you back to the desktop.

We liked the keyboard/cover and the speed in booting up. It's also much faster than the iPad, which seems to take minutes to load certain websites.

We considered using the iPad to take the pictures and the Surface Pro 3 to do everything else, but it was just too cumbersome, and expensive.

I posted here because not all members that I want to hear from probably also subscribe to the PC lists.

I wanted Midrange developer feedback.

Anyone here using a Surfacebook yet ?

This topic would be more appropriate in the PCTECH list (http://mlists.org/pctech).
