Kalia_Test Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Lumia that turns into a desktop !! WTF !! Microsoft is pulling away.It looks awesome. Instead of a monitor, we should be able to use a mini wall projector too I guess and maybe a surface type keyboard. Excellent though I believe the concept was tried earlier through a palm size device - though never on a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 lol apple priced me out of iphone ...cannot justify paying 62k for 16 gb phone ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Boy was that impressive presentation or what.. Wish i could trade my ipad air for basic surface pro 4 :( don't know how much they will give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 2 TB storage space increase, basic 32Gig memory... windows 10. Probably the best presentation by MS in a while. It was full fledged MS hardware presentation. Surfacebook, Surface pro 4, lumia , microsoft band, hololens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 lol apple priced me out of iphone ...cannot justify paying 62k for 16 gb phone ...THe thing is manufacturing cost of an apple iphone is around 220$ . Infact samsung cost more like 274$ i think. Lot of phones are around 200$ mark. But profit margin is atrocious for apple. Old guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfacebook, Surface pro 4, lumia , microsoft band, hololensAlso interesting were the comparisons - Surface Pro 4 with Macbook Air ( and NOT IPad Air ) - Surfacebook with Macbook ProWith Apple not moving at all towards touch on their Macbook line, looks like MS wants to hurt Apple most in its laptop range. MS does not seem too interested in the 'pure tablet' space in the 7 to 10.1 inch size - maybe it will look upto its partners Dell, HP, Asus,etc to fill that.

Surface pro was more a laptop which can be used as a tablet. Ipad pro just the opposite. Surface pro 3 was a resounding success so much so that many had been waiting for this surface for pro 4 eagerly. MS did not disappoint them. Ever since this clown left MS has turned it around http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=68&v=wvsboPUjrGc Edited October 6, 2015 by vvvslaxman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkt.india Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 lol apple priced me out of iphone ...cannot justify paying 62k for 16 gb phone ...16 gb is 650 dollars in usa which is around 45k in rupees.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk it lasted enough for you tbh mine died some time ago ..s6 active is good choice but again updates might be problem but basic stuff about it camera,screen ,battery are best out there..

Why every company is having insane prices in India?not really yar its only apple motorola priced their phones less than usa prices in india and nexus like i explained after taxes is not that high (nexus 5x is just overpriced to begin with ) note 5 is as expensive as iphone in USA but in india its 10 k cheaper and thats 32 gb vs 16 gb...(not even talking about 6splus )apple just went full retard here and now i will probably get 6p or note 5.

Even hardcore Apple fans are mighty impressed. Jobs gone, Cook took over. Ballmer gone Nadella took over. Over a period Apple started playing safe. They just did not deviate much from the iphone they came up with 8 years back. They just upgraded os, upgraded existing features. iphone,.. let us make it big and sell it as ipad.. let us slightly reduce it and sell it as ipad mini. let us slightly increase the size and sell it as different version of iphone.. They just stay in their comfort zone. MS meanwhile silently pulled themselves away . They are working with multiple hightech companies to innovate new things. Apple has become a fashion gadget . That will take care of their iphone sales. They don't have to worry about that. But if you look at from innovation point of view they have become stagnant somewhat. They have to come up with better prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
