You specifically stated "since it runs Windows, I will never use it" and I addressed that point. If your qualifier is "runs MacOS/iOS", then your following question is moot for every non-Apple device.

Either way, no one can answer your subjective opinion-based query. Go test it out at the dozens of kiosks in any city in a Western nation (or, barring that, watch a youtube video) and judge for yourself.

Clearly, you are not someone that can provide their opinion on the device otherwise you would have. Thanks for playing.

I don't care what OS the device is using for someone else to use. I just want to know if the device is a decent device made by Microsoft, or if the original claim that they make crap devices also applies to the Surface. I provided the explanation why I don't have personal knowledge on if it is cool or not while asking others to provide feedback.

Then don’t ask or post hypothetical vitriol, if you don’t want a response.

This isn’t Reddit.

I wanted a response that was an actual answer to the question. Instead, you made a post which was not a response to the question. You commented on the background and assumed something to which was not true. Then you got offended that I called you out on it. And now here we are with "not reddit" responses.

You provided no details on build quality of the Surface. You provided no information on if the touchscreen makes it a better product. You provided nothing useful towards answering the question I asked.
