Microsoft Says More People Are Switching From Macs To Surface Than Ever Before (theverge.com)

Microsoft has been targeting Mac users with its Surface commercials recently, and it appears they might be paying off. From a report on The Verge: The software giant claims that November was the "best month ever for consumer Surface sales," following a number of Black Friday deals on the Surface Pro 4. Microsoft still isn't providing sales numbers, but the company claims "more people are switching from Macs to Surface than ever before." Microsoft cites "the disappointment of the new MacBook Pro" and its trade-in program for MacBooks for tempting people to switch to Surface. Again, Microsoft refuses to provide numbers but vaguely claims "our trade-in program for MacBooks was our best ever."

Are you really comparing a MBP to a Chromebook like they serve the same roll? Really?
Maybe you're just an idiot for paying 3k for a web browser but there is no Chromebook that can do anything for me that my MBP does, other than browse the web.
If you don't do anything other than what a Chromebook does, then you're an idiot for buying anything OTHER than a Chromebook.
Your post illustrates your shortcomings and in ability to buy the right product, not any of the flaws on the current MBP
Mods? Parent is "-1 Insightful"???

If that doesn't demonstrate what is wrong with Slashdot's moder-haters, I don't know what does...
