Microsoft's Surface Pro is a laptop no matter what anyone says
Microsoft claims that Surface Pro is a laptop. I agree. Windows Central Senior Editor Zac Bowden does not.
Five years ago Microsoft launched Surface Pro as "the tablet that can replace your laptop." That tagline and product positioning were relevant and strategically necessary for Microsoft during that time.
In 2013 slate tablets were still very popular and were even predicted as eventual laptop replacements. With Surface Microsoft was playing catchup with iPads and Android tablets.
Additionally, that catchy tagline was Microsoft's way of emphasizing Surface's desktop productivity strength (laptop) while avoiding its app-related weaknesses as a tablet. It is this foundation that sets the context for the Surface "being" a laptop, albeit a uniquely designed, packaged and marketed one. Let's take a closer look.
Zac Bowden: No matter what Microsoft says Surface Pro is not a laptop - it's a tablet
