I was talking about the price of the MS surface. They are intentionally matching price with apple, so as you can imagine, not too cheap. In my mind that is. For £400 i want it to suck my cock. £100 more and that is car insurance for a year. These days i have to think about what better things my money can be spent on. Don't have any real use for a tablet, would just like somthing i can have on my lap while i'm watching a film on the tv. Want a laptop as well, but i like the form factor of a 10" tablet and the battery life, but for a tablet it would ideally need to have the abilty to hook upto a tv which i think the surface does, although could very likely be wrong on that one.
As to screens, i've only ever had one broken LCD and that was because someone deliberately crushed my laptop, had a touchscreen phone for 5 years, and not in the most easy of environments, i.e running around with knives and heavy boxes and you name it, and i've yet to evens cratch the screen, think i'd be fine.
FYI, new nexus 10 has a 2500x1200 such silly resolution. Looking forward to seeing some reviews on it.
