Gah... how does one pull an auction item once it's started?
That does blow.

Everyone is allowed to cancel their auctions. But if there are
bids on it and a Seller decides they don't want to sell it or
whatever reason they have, the Seller still has to pay eBay
their fees.

Yes, I'm still on the hunt for the perfect deal on eBay, but the
other Buyers are making life difficult by paying essentially the
same price for what they can get at a brick and mortar store
like Best Buy or Staples. These are clearly new Buyers to eBay
that don't understand the logistic of what it means to find a
great deal. They get hung up on the dumb idea of "winning" and
just end up over paying for stuff, just for the sake of
outbidding everyone. Okay, with that little rant out of the way,
I'm still looking at current / up to date reviews of Surface Pro
2 and this video in particular does the best job because he no
only addressing the artistic side of the tablet, but he includes
gaming as well. Also, bonus points for just being a well
executed video presentation. There are tons of "Reviews" that I
can't even finish do to the lack of knowledge on their part as
well as a sh*tty presentation.

Changed the name of the thread to Tablets and Handheld Devices
(Formerly the Cintiq Thread) since this really isn't a Cintiq
thread anymore, but a Tablet Thread.........

[center]Microsoft announces 'small' Surface event in NYC on May
20
HTML http://www.cnet.com/news/microsoft-surface-mini-event-announced/
[/center]
I'm reeeeeeally hoping that when the "mini" ix announced on May
20 (Ten days from now), that this spurs a sell off from everyone
so they can make room for the new stuff which is speculated to
street in late June (next month). Not sure if that's gonna
happen if they are literally the same product. One can only
hope.

[quote]In recent days, there have been reports that Microsoft
will not only launch the Surface Mini on May 20, it will also
unveil the Surface Pro 3. Some reports claim the tablet will
ship with a 12-inch screen instead of the 10.6-inch display the
company has used on its previous Surface and Surface Pro series.
A new report has uncovered what we can expect the Surface Pro 3
to feature in terms of some of its specs and pricing details.
Windows Phone Central is reporting that Microsoft will make the
Surface Pro 3 available in five different configurations with
varying pricing:
i3-4GB RAM-64GB - $799
i5-4GB RAM-128GB - $999
i5-8GB RAM-256GB - $1299
i7-8GB RAM-256GB - $1549
i7-8GB RAM-512GB - $1949
The site also claims that Microsoft will announce redesigned
Type covers for the Surface Mini and Surface Pro 3 to fit the
new sized displays. The Type covers will be offered in
four-color options, black, purple, cyan, and red. The red type
covers are believed to be a Microsoft exclusive that will only
be sold in the company's retail stores.

I don't know if this "leak" is legit. I would think that MS
would be playing this very close to the vest and only a few
people would have any kind of specs. With that said, I'm
definitely looking forward to seeing what the "12 inch" Surface
Pro 3 has to offer. I like the idea of of a larger surface to
draw and paint on. But it's what's under the hood that is going
to make me want to buy it or decided to stick with SP2. If I do
end up getting the SP3, it will probably be i5-8GB RAM-256GB -
$1299 if that price point holds true.

Having had a 24 hours to dive in and review the specs with
regards to Surface Pro 3. I'm out. Yep, I waited all this time
and it looked like it was the dream hybrid that I had longed
for. Everything was there. Except one crucial thing and that's
the pen. I absolutely can't believe that MS would dump Wacom
technology for the N-Trig. As an artist, everything starts and
ends with the pen. It went from 1024 pressure sensitivity levels
for the Wacom to a WHOPPING 256 levels for the N-Trig. This is
just mind boggling that someone at MS thought this was okay. The
ONLY reason why Surface Pro 2 had any kind of "foothold" in the
market place was because of the early adopters from the Art
World and it came down to Wacom. Unless there is announcement
from MS that the SP3 will allow Wacom pens to be used with the
device, I'm just gonna have to look elsewhere. I will however
head to the MS Store and check the SP3 out for myself and see
what can and can't be done with it. But I certainly won't be
buying it anytime soon. What a shame. Disgusted is more like it.
F*CK!

Article about why it's time to kill the Surface
HTML http://stratechery.com/2014/time-kill-surface/.
Curious about
your take on this, Chip.
Reading this, I notice I forgot what a lousy state the computer
market is in right now, which sucks. But also reading how
terribly broken our software is on a practically molecular
level, I wonder if we're on the verge of a computer renaissance
since we now realize we need all this new stuff.
