Michal Ždanský MacRumors.com about Microsoft's new promotion to support Surface RT sales:
Microsoft is now accepting iPads for cash at its retail stores. In this promotion, Microsoft is giving away at least $200 in vouchers for iPad 2 and later, which means you only need to spend $149 to buy the base model of the Surface RT tablet.
Microsoft's last desperate attempt to sell at least some Surface at the expense of the iPad. There will definitely not be long queues for this event. The Surface RT is a flop, and no significant discount will change that. If Microsoft offered its tablets below cost in developing countries, it would do better, not only for its image.
Maniacs from Microsoft just need to buy iPads, and I don't have any money - that's why there are events :)
:-D
I would like to see a desperate person who can do this :-)
Make sure it's not the case that you buy it for 4000 and then sell it for 6000. So actually make money selling the iPad and nothing on your device :-D.
PS: By the way, if someone wants to sell a functional iPad 2 and newer for that kind of money, I'll take it and you don't even have to go to America ;-).
but that is a very negatively conceived article. That has nothing to do with objective writing. I have both an iPad and a Surface and I certainly can't say that the Surface is as bad as you present here. I wonder what you would write if Apple offered ipads in exchange for a surface. That would be talking about how it's super marketing what..
And where is it written in the gloss that Surface is bad? It is only mentioned that it is a (commercial) flop, which is a completely objective statement. Or do you think he is successful?
That article has 4 sentences and each one is negative. It doesn't even have to be written there that you think the Surface is bad and the only tablet is the iPad
That article is a gloss. Gloss is the subjective view of the author. That probably says it all.
no it is not
Just because something doesn't sell doesn't mean it has to be bad. It just means that there is no demand for it :)
And the fact that Microsoft is desperate, perhaps no one has to prove. Reorganization of the entire company? Fired CEO? Surfac write-offs for billions of dollars? This has nothing to do with Apple.
ok, let's try another construct:
Apple was desperate, started making fashionable plastic phones and did a childish redesign of iOS.
Ok, so how does this relate to desperate microsoft buying up ipads? :)
exactly. I don't like the 5C at all. I don't really need plastic, the ios design reminds me of windows and I certainly wouldn't buy it for that price. But even if Apple makes the most disgusting iPhone, they will write here that it's great, that they wanted it that way and that other phones are flops :/
surface is not a loser. it's a good tablet. definitely better than any android
I have a Surface RT and I'm surprised how good the tablet is; commercially it is not mastered, but the hardware is good
I have been using the Surface RT for 4 months and I would certainly not call the device a failure, but a first attempt that is more than promising. Despite all the shortcomings, it is much more practical than the iPad for ordinary office work, at least if the main PC has W8...
