How does it feel to have paid 4 times times the price of an equivalent PC for a fancy, white computer?

That would be funny.

I saw an interview with him a couple of years ago where he talked about sitting in airports using a MacBook and having people come up to him shocked that he was using "the competition" and he had to explain that he actually worked for Apple in the commercials.

If this truly is an Xbox tablet, I don't understand why they didn't show it at E3. Their press conference was awful.

They showed the ridiculous smart glass thing. I suppose it could have been foreshadowing this.

That's a nice blank space and t-rex signature you left there.

I see an "X" in a box. Makes sense.

Just like the iPad, something no one wanted or asked for.

Unlike the iPad, something no one will buy.

So it's not an "xbox" tablet, but simply a microsoft tablet?

Nothing really special then.

Disappointing.
