That iPad Pro announcement. lol

Let's sum it up:

ARM processor, so it still runs iOS, not OSX. This is a tablet being marketed to "power users" or people who actually do things besides play games and watch netflix on their stuff. People like that aren't going to use a mobile operating system to get things done.

$100 Stylus, wow lol. Even the Surface stylus is overpriced at $50...

$170 Keyboard/Screen cover, magnetically clips like the Surface keyboard, may or may not be touch, meaning no mechanical presses dome caps not touch. Extremely over priced keyboard for what it is, plus too it has a flip out triangle structure to hold your iPad lol. Also no back lit keys. And its $40 over the Surface keyboard.

Finally an iPad has stereo speakers, like the Surface, though I don't think they're front facing...

No SD or microSD expansion.

12.9" screen... that is uncomfortably large for a tablet.

Here's the kicker:

Cheapest 32GB model is... $800.

Probably a water cooled 980Ti. :P

Oh my god:

The funny thing is Apple and Microsoft have a patent sharing agreement.

People actually still use bay drives?
For my H440 I just use an external USB 3.0 Disc Reader that can also write to discs.

this is so weird
like it's one thing to just say "who uses removable media these days"
but THIS. this is the absolute weirdest attempt to be better than other people that I've ever seen
you're literally just saying "haha who ACTUALLY uses a more convenient form of removable media......."

I have an H440 and I use an entirely different, much older PC if I need to read/write discs

it's a Mac Mini PowerPC

I just find no use for an obsolete form of media, cd's where good back then but honestly I rather use sd cards or flash drives than deal with delicate cd's getting scratched and becoming useless.

I mean many companies are now selling software on usb drives instead of discs when it comes to a physical copy, 512mb flash drives are really cheap too.

I got myself a external disk drive for when I need to make boot disks or any other disks. (driver disks, etc)

Sorry that it's a tinyurl, the forums thought I was posting a referal link. It's taken me 10 minutes to actually be able to post this.

sooooooooooooooooooooooo
that's why you have a disc reader and writer?

Is the monitor that Pentium recommended worth the extra £20? (I honestly don't care about size, anything over 20 inches is good for me)

The acer has better viewing angles and contrast.

Am I the only one that uses floppies to boot into DOS when my computer doesn't boot?
