There were two interesting product launches last week. HP delivered what is pretty much a clean slate rethinking of the 2-in-1 PC with the HP Folio, and Microsoft unveiled a refresh of its Surface Line. Both firms made a big deal of the fact that their products were much better than their Apple counterparts — but Apple has been treating PCs like a drunk uncle for some time now. Basically, I think the folks at Apple are embarrassed they still make PCs, which is both sad and ironic, since Apple basically launched the PC revolution.
Nice, but I could not bring myself to by something new with windows installed. Something running Linux Mint maybe. What also seems to be happening is these manafacturers going out of there way to build things we cannot fix ourselves or via third parties. I find myself sticking with older kit
