Unless you're some serious super-artist that does massively high res painting and lives in Photoshop or whatever all day, their sensors are fine.

The guy that draws Penny Arcade dicked around with a Surface 3 Pro and now he absolutely loves it and does a lot of art on it. No real issues reported (and any issues hes reported has been fixed quickly by Microsoft, which, well, Microsoft actually fixing issues promptly fills me with a kind of hope that I haven't had in a long long time).

Microsoft kinda feels like... the Google I wish Google was. I'm not sure how to actually describe this. A company that, yes, makes money, but also makes cool shit and I want to throw money at them to keep making cool shit.

As opposed to the post-Gates Balmer era that drove all their products (sans XBox) into the ground. Well, further into the ground. I'm not trying to flame Microsoft here, but Windows 95 is why I converted to Linux on my desktop full time, and Windows 2000 was the only sane Windows in my opinion between Windows 3.1 and Windows 8.x.



Microsoft always was awesome on hardware... from keyboards to Xbox and now the surface.

surface would be my killer portable platform of they ever have a mix of the 3 and pro 3... a small screen one with the ram and speed of the pro.


My perspective on windows 2000 is somewhat different because I came from NT4. 2000 required a lot more hardware to do basically the same thing. I thought it was a step down.
