From the actual article -- "includes a 28" display with 13.5 million pixels at a 4500x3000 resolution"

The standard 4k resolution mentioned was a comparison, not part of the spec of the Surface. As for the price comparison, please add in the cost of a high-definition screen-based digitiser to the Apple iMac spec and get back to us. Oh, the iMacs don't have a built-in screen digitiser as an option? Oops.

Still a significantly less number of pixels than the 5k iMac.

And do we know the resolution of the digitizer? Does it actually meet or exceed the resolution of the display?

And I would bet that real graphics professionals will still want to use a dedicated graphics tablet, rather than get a bunch of hand-prints all over their screen to use a half-baked built-in digitizer.

Oh, and the price of a multi-touch digitizer for a 5k iMac? Howabout $200?

Now I have no idea how good that is; but considering the number of 4 and 5 star reviews on Amazon, I would bet that it is at least as good as the typical crap that MS has been building into their other Surface products, like the Surface Pro 4. Which is to say, not so wonderful.

Is Word 2013 really as ugly as this, with an all spartan white background? It looks like an early Mac prototype GUI - you can't distinguish the different elements easily:

Can one change the menu bar/ribbon to at least have a darker/blue/grey background instead of just being white?

You need to listen harder. Amazon say they are moving more than a million Kindle units per week. But they are including the classic ebook kindles in that figure. They are not breaking out the Kindle Fire sales as a separate item.

No one was in any doubt that the old style B&W ebook Kindles at less than $100 would sell well in the weeks before Christmas. Kindle FIre is a different story. Sales appear to be disappointing, and returns high.

Ah, makes sense. Certify the discontinued product.
