Topics

iPad mini

• Leo: Lack of retina resolution only downside, almost wish there were a more expensive retina version
• Rene: The backlight and battery required to drive a retina display would have made it as thick as the full-size iPad
• Andy: Apple should start questioning whether or not making something thinner should always be the objective

Microsoft Surface RT

• Leo: Windows RT's Metro interface is compelling, but the Surface tablet is underwhelming
• Andy: Full Windows 8 tablets like the Samsung ATIV aren't that much more expensive and offer a full Windows experience
