Comment on Surface Pro – Deep Dive by danrosanova

Hi Kevin,
I think the Surface Pro is a great device, but keep in mind, it’s ultra portable. The keyboard is small and so is the screen. Coming from a larger format laptop may be difficult. The biggest issue will be that the keyboard requires a flat surface to work properly so resting it on your lap isn’t really an option – especially for people like me who hammer they keyboard when they type. This can be a big change for many people. Perhaps a Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch would be better. For me, I like the Surface.

Thanks, Dan! Considering for my wife as replacement for her old Lenovo t40 laptop…tried to get her to use Apple Mac Air but she hates that… Think this SurfacePro would be good alternative? -Kevin

Comment on On the Surface – Buying by danrosanova

Thanks for the feedback! I have not read that biography yet, but I would like to. I appreciate packaging greatly and was quite pleased with the Surface’s. I even disassembled it. I will say that it was hard to reassemble, but it was not designed for this so no fault there. It also was material efficient in that inner materials were less finished, but they were only for structural aspects – and the reduced use of refined materials made the packaging more green.

Thanks for sharing the information packed article above! Seriously, I would not have thought to add the SD card to compensate for the 64GB, which when you think about it, is a huge amount of space and power. I would have passed on the mouse, but only because I cannot picture how to hold it. I will be back when you continue your adventure in Surface. The packaging is something Steve Jobs was big on, according to the “official” biography (the 600+ page one). Being a PC person, I have no experience with any Apple products, but was impressed with the high value he put on aesthetics in his stores and packaging. I just supposed for the high consumer price tag (for me anyway), the product should look like it came from Tiffany. Anyway, when I get room in the budget, I will likely go the same route you did, so thank you for the details that will help me in the buying process. I am in the Chicago area and a struggling new MCT. I am sure I can male it to a store if for no other reason, but the experience as you described it.

Trying to find the downloads for your Biztalk 2010 book. The book is really good so far, however i am on chapter 12, the inventory management, i created a new solution etc, yet on page 283, it says “The internal schemas project contains a schema InventoryNotification.xsd…” yet i could find nowhere in the download from packt or on your site for the book, http://sites.google.com/site/biztalk2010patterns/documents/inventorymanagement any download of this project, or at least the schema that your book says to use and create a map for.
Thanks,
Adam
