Good for MS. Nice work. Still, it sounds like you have described a new laptop with limited battery life and a high price. I'm sure it will do fine in the marketplace... Apple proved lots of people have lots of money they are willing to spend. Over time, concentrated effort on the hardware will improve battery life, and in 5 years, when we have fuel cell batteries, no one will care. Price will probably come down to lower levels when the line differentiates and when volumes go up, too. Meanwhile, its chief appeal will be to IOS/OSX/Android haters and MS Fanbois, and folks stuck in a Win frame of mind. That is a lot of people, though.
