solipsism - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI think I'd rather just go for an Ultrabook. Even one of the convertible Ultrabook tablets look like a better deal. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkAll the stuff I can find here in Germany is either much more expensive (Samsung ATIV PC Pro) or has no digitizer (Acer W700). I would love a 1k€ device with a Asus Transformer style keyboard+battery and an active digitizer. :) Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkThinkpad Helix for you, maybe? Not sure about the digitizer, though. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkWasn't aware of that. Yeah, that seems like the device I would want, thanks. (I only glanced at many CES articles on Anandtech and from the pictures I wasn't aware that it was a tablet hybrid. I thought it was just an Ultrabook.) Though the price tag doesn't fit for me at the moment :/. 500 to 600USD more expensive for similar innards than the Surface Pro. 430USD more expansive than the US Samsung XE700 (in Germany it costs 1290€ at least compared to amazon.com 1070USD). The battery in the keyboard surely isn't that expansive :D. Reply
ananduser - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkAre you honest in your comment ? I thought you were a macuser so you'd always go mac because of OSX mainly. Reply
Wolfpup - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - linkBasically a $200 price premium over an iPad, and for that you get an actual PC. Real CPU, awesome by tablet standards GPU, SSD, USB 3.0 (versus nothing), displayport, etc.
Surface Pro (and other tablet PCs) are why my current iPad will be my last, I presume.
This is almost exactly what I wanted Apple to do back in 2009 or whatever...release an actual PC tablet with an optional touch interface. Instead, they basically just released a giant iPod. Reply
Netscorer - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - linkThis ain't iPad and will not compete with one. As tablet it has too many compromises that will make sure to remind you of their existence daily:
- it's heavy (try holding 2lb in hands for more then one minute and then tell us how great this tablet is)
- it has short battery life. Just as you get comfortable burning the late evening hours on Netflix session it will tell you that you have 10% battery left
- it has fans and yes, you will hear them.
- it would nag you to download the latest windows update and restart 2-3 times a week.
As a Windows 8 ultrabook it has screen that is too small. And Windows 8 did not improve much in scaling the desktop. Without trackpad to navigate you would need either an external mouse (here goes portability) or use digitizer all the time and it isn't convenient in regular laptop configuration with screen popped up.
I would still prefer a combination of 13'' ultrabook (the smallest display that I find usable in laptop) for productivity work and lightweight 10'' tablet for night time entertainment. Reply
iamezza - Friday, January 25, 2013 - linkSecurity updates for windows are released on the second Tuesday of the month. Non-security updates are usually released on the fourth Tuesday of the month.
That is basically once every 2 weeks a bit different to 2-3 times a week.
You can also fully customise the way you want updates to be done or not. Reply
Houdani - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI'm on the fence with Surface Pro. While I'm not interested in the RT version, the Pro really draws my interest. But the shortcomings you state make me hopeful for the next version, and I may hold out for that before I buy in.
Wish list for the next:
Haswell = battery life
Refined covers (include one in the price!)
Thunderbolt Reply
MonkeyPaw - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkWhat should be interesting about Surface devices is that MS can update them whenever they want. I don't know if they will take that approach, but they have off-the-shelf components going into them, so even the 7W* Ivy Bridges could make their way in before too long. Apple has to design its own SOCs, which brings its own risks. MS could use this to their advantage, if only to tier Surface a little better.
I'm wondering if Intel will ever mix up core designs. Imagine a quad-core part, where 2 cores are Atom and 2 are Core. You get battery life and power in one. Tegra 3 already has this concept, but Surface RT can't use the companion core. Reply
Taristin - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkPlease please please let us know how the digitizer works; if it's pressure sensitive like a Wacom solution or if it is something more akin to using a stylus on an ipad? I've been dying to confirm what Ive seen on other sites about their patents regarding the "inking" tech. If this is an art tablet or not is important for a lot of people to find out! Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkEverything I read about it is that it is pressure sensitive and works with an extra digitizer layer like a Wacom. It is not a capacitive stylus like the ones found for most android and apple devices. Reply
Mustang66 - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkThis preview has more details about the stylus
http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/microsoft-surfac... Reply
Dug - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkIt is a Wacom digitizer. You will have pressure and once its released you will be able to get better pens for it. Reply
Jhlot - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI am very interested in this as a replacement for my work notebook that I dock but it has no clear docking solution. I cannot believe Microsoft failed to build in a docking solution and accessory, business sales would be through the roof if they had. Big oversight Microsoft. Reply
radmax - Tuesday, February 05, 2013 - linkYou can actually use any USB3 docking station i presume. There are several available already. Would have been smart to add a surface-style one, instead of a mouse hahah Reply
darwinosx - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI don't see any hands on in this article. Doesn't sound like you touched it at all. Disappointing to see Anand do this "hands on" link bait like the other so called tech journalists.
Every tablet needs a kickstand? I don't think so. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - link1. This is a pipeline post.
2. You must have read a different article than I, it clearly looks to me like he handled a device for some time at least. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkWe weren't allowed to take our own photos of the hands on experience while at CES, everything used in the article came direct from MS. That being said, we were allowed unrestricted access to using Surface Pro - which is where this post came from. Reply
kyuu - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - link"Every tablet needs a kickstand? I don't think so."
Hell yes they do. What's the downside, exactly? Reply
QuesoLoco - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - link1. The kickstand is at a different angle, I think it's a little bit lower as a result.
2. Paul Thurrott is saying that the price points now include the touch cover? Not sure if its true or not.
I'd love to get this, but Haswell is such a step for it, that I have to wait for a Haswell version. It's a shame they couldn't push it back for 6 months. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkYou are completely right about Haswell. I can't justify buying one when they come out, knowing that even a few months later we'll get something substantially more suited for the purpose. Also, I kinda hope there will be design wins with Kabini in similar style tablets/hybrids with a significantly (read: 150USD at least) lower price. :) Reply
agentsmithitaly - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkHi Anand,
as always I appreciate the articles you and your team pull off every time.
However, it would be good to display also metric unit measurements for dimensions and weight. Screen size in inches instead is perfectly acceptable also for Europeans as this is the de-facto standard when you refer to a monitor or TV set.
Ganesh wrote temperature measurements in Centigrade degrees in his latest article and I really appreciate that :) Reply
InsGadget - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkAmerican website should use American units. Sorry but this just makes sense. Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkHow many of the contributors are American though? I don't think of this as an American website, it has contributors are readers all over the world. And what would be so hard to go with dual units? It's already being done with a lot of articles, just kinda inconsistently. Reply
AncientWisdom - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - link@InsGadget:
That is a very American approach to take and no disrespect intended but that's also why yanks get a bad name.
AnandTech may be an American site, but the writers and readers alike are from all over the world and as such it is appropriate to cater for other reader requirements as well. He didn't ask to display metric instead of imperial but instead asked for it in addition to the imperial units. In many of AnandTech articles this has been done in the past anyway so really this is just a request to keep doing this. Reply
augustofretes - Thursday, January 31, 2013 - linkPeople from all over the world write and read this site.
But... let's be honest, America needs to ditch their uncivilized units. Reply
scottwilkins - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkGees guys. Thunderbolt will die soon, replaced by much better and open standards.
I do agree with 16x9 not being the right aspect ratio. Having used 16x10 displays for so many years, I just can't get used to 16x9 on a computer. It works great on a TV, but not on computers where desktop real-estate is much more of a consideration. I'd really like to see the Surface Pro II be a 16x10 display. And really, who gives a rat if a movie has a black bar at the top and bottom? Is it really worth the loss of workable area for that crap? Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkI've used:
15" CRT 800x600
15" TFT 1024x768
19" TFT 1280x1024
24" TFT 1920x1200
27" TFT 2560x1440
And would not go back to any one of the previous ones any time. Would I get more work done on a 2560x1600? Maybe. But it would be twice as expensive as well. 16:9 still gives black bars in most movies btw. Only most TV shows and animations stuff is really 16:9. Still, the cost savings make me go "meh" concerning going back to 16:10. Reply
KPOM - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkThe pricing isn't bad, and perhaps Microsoft doesn't want to compete too much with its OEMs, but it could be a bit more aggressive. After all, Microsoft is trying to enter a market. With the type cover, it winds up being slightly more expensive than a comparable MacBook Air or ASUS Zenbook. While it does have the touchscreen, it lacks the extra connectivity that the Air/Zenbook have. I doubt that at 2lbs it will get much actual "tablet" usage, though it could serve that role in a pinch. Road warriors looking to pack a single device might like it, though I think others may prefer a basic touchscreen Ultrabook and a small tablet or iPad mini. Reply
Netscorer - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - link$899 is for 64GB SSD which is a no go on Windows 8 devices. After Windows installation and Intel SmartStart partitioning, you would be lucky to have 25GB left for everything else. 128GB model costs $999 and once you add type cover and tax, you are well into $1,200 territory. Reply
tonyn84 - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkDo we really know if it is a 17W chip though? They still don't have a model# listed on their site and both Microsoft and Intel have been cagey about the question. I'd assume it doesn't have the new ones, but why the delay? 3rd gen i5 tablets have been out since last summer. Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkCould be a standard 17 W TDP chip with configurable TDP set for 13 W. Reply
ssiu - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkIt seems that a lot of ultrabooks and Windows tablets have single-channel memory that is not user upgradable / replaceable, which significantly impact the integrated GPU performance (which is already not-that-great to start with). Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkWhile this is similar, the stand and floppy keyboard don't really make it optimal for using everywhere. Yes you get the benefit of using it as a tablet, but with something like a Lenovo Yoga design you could have that too. Reply
UpSpin - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkTablet PCs exist since years, and only few use one. I own a convertible with a Wacom pen since almost 6 years. I had a daily use to take study notes, but since I don't have to take notes any longer, I barely use the tablet feature and mostly use it as a notebook.
The problems in the past and now:
- Tablet PCs were very expensive, this has changed with Samsung Series 7 Slate models which were priced competive, still nobody bought those. The Surface Pro is priced very low, but availabilty in retail store will still be very limited.
- Windows 7, and so is 8, is horrible on a tablet PC, it lacks a proper UI and proper Software. If you fall back to Metro UI and Metro Apps then you could have bought a Win RT tablet instead which gives you more for much less. So you buy it because you want to use x86 software, thus you'll use the traditional UI because those programs are not Metro apps. But if you use the traditional UI and programs you can forget finger input, only pen input works properly. The programs which make good use of pen are powerful, but rare, such a program is Photoshop or Sketchbook. But people who buy a slate for those tasks have bought one already and such people are rare. Notetaking programs on Windows are non-existent. OneNote is horrible and full of bugs, it's a nightmare and not reliable. Even worse, the UI is totally tablet unfriendly. Lots of great Microsoft research programs (InkSeine) are beta programs which never really got finished. So people are 'stuck' with specialized software, like Photoshop, Sketchbook, PDF Revu, but that's it.
- Without a proper note taking app, you still can use the handwriting recognition, but typing is magnitudes faster, more precise and less exhausting. So you won't use the pen for this. You'll use it to draw, sketch, annotate ... or take traditional notes with small drawings, but as already said, this is impossible because Windows lacks a comfortable/versatile/stable software. (Courier might have solved this) I used PDF Revu to take notes, which is much more versatile and stable than OneNote, but misses other features OneNote offers. So far from perfect.
- The big Windows advantage, Office, is unusable with a tablet. And this hasn't improved the slightest with Office 2013.
- So to use Office (the must have x86 feature) the tablet must be 'transformable', which the Surface clearly isn't, because its flip stand doesn't make it an ultrabook/netbook/notebook like the Asus Transformer or like the Fujitsu Stylistic Q702, and the touch keyboard just has no tactile feedback.
- As long as a tablet has a fan, it's crap. Sorry, but even if the fan is quiet, it's still audible, if it's audible, it's annoying. Especially for tablet, which gets used in meetings, lectures, gets used to learn stuff a dead silent system is a requirement.
- The battery must last the whole day, 10 hours minimum! If it does not last that long, you won't have joy using the machine. The battery life of my tablet was 12 hours max. which I often made use of. 4 hours is a total no go. A working day just is longer than 4 hours.
- The surface Pro is more expensive than ARM tablets, has crappy battery life for a tablet!, has a noisy fan, is heavier and gets hotter than ARM tablets, the software hasn't improved compared to older Windows based tablets which people had few use for, the Samsung Note (without all the disadvantages the Surface Pro has) might offer better note taking software than Windows 8 (that's a shame for MS) and sketching software is available too for Android. You can't use the Surface Pro as a Ultrabook replacement because of the lack of a sturdy keyboard dock.
Why should Surface Pro be more succesful than previous Windows x86 based tablets? The price is still higher than the ARM competition and the software still a nightmare.
If you want a couch tablet, get an iPad, or Nexus Tablet. If you want to take notes, get a Samsung Note. If you want to do sketches, get a Samsung Note or maybe, if you don't mind the short battery life and annoying fan (which will ramp up if you use Photoshop) a Surface Pro. If you want to input text, get a Ultrabook.
If you want a universal device, with both pen input and keyboard, wait for a ARM tablet from ASUS/Samsung with pen and keyboard dock, they will come. If you want more, buy two devices (Samsung Note + Ultrabook), a good single device doesn't exist yet and won't in the near future.
I am a Tablet PC lover and love the abilty to input text with a pen, but the Surface Pro doesn't offer anything new. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkWith no word do you mention hybrids. Are they not the cross between ultrabook and tablet you might want?
Also, the hands on with the Surface Pro mention that they only hear the air movement of the fans when they stick their ear right next to it.
I'm personally thrilled about these new products. Reply
UpSpin - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkHybrids: I thought I mentioned them (Asus Transformer/Fujitsu Stylistic Q702). But either they run Android and lack pen or they run Win x86 but use low specs compared to ultrabooks (Atom, no pen input, ...) And even with a proper equipped Hybrid running Windows 8, the main problems: fan, short battery life, no proper pen based note taking software, no proper pen/touch based OS, weight, price, remains. A metro app for pen input is unlikely because Surface RT lacks pen input, but MS seems to have no interest in pen based programs either (buggy/tablet unfriendly OneNote and tablet (touch and pen) unfriendly Office suite)
Else, yes, you are right, a hybrid is a cross I might want. A powerful lightweight tablet, which I can use to draw on/take notes on it, which can get converted to a Ultrabook with a sturdy keyboard dock, and in the far future, which at home gets placed on a docking station which then gets connected through thounderbolt to a dedicated GPU/larger monitor/HDD/...
But proper software is a requirement. Microsoft does not offer them, neither with Windows 8 nor with Office 2013. Google with Android and Samsung with their Premium Suite do a far better job in my opinion right now. Tight integration of the pen in the Android OS. Not perfect, but much more versatile and useful.
The hands on says: 'Surface Pro features two fans that are audible under heavy load'. Regardless that a fan is always audible and annoying the magnitude of how annoying the fan is depends on
1. The fan control software: If it ramps up as soon as you tax the CPU, after the tablet got used for half an hour, thus the body is warm (so use it at least half an hour, then judge how loud the fan is in normal use), and the fan varies its speed in short time, which such small systems often do because they lack a proper sized heatsink as puffer, then it's totally annoying.
2. The software you use: If you intend to use Photoshop, expect an always running fan. Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkYou mentioned those specific devices but didn't make a comment about the device class in general. :)
As for fan noise: yeah, we'll have to wait and see and probably hear for ourselves. I have no issues with a few fans in the design though. If you want fanless, you can't get powerful. It's a trade off I'm willing to make.
Win8 tablets with a powerful Core i5 will have short battery life compared to ARM tablets (3 to 6 hours depending on usage is my guess). But that is why I talked about a hybrid which should have a backup battery in the keyboard dock, doubling capacity. 6 to 10 hours isn't short for me. :) If it is for you, then yeah, powerful Win8 tablets aren't your thing. :D
I don't see how you are comparing Android and iOS to Win8. The first two are clearly toy OSes in my opinion. I have an Android 10.1" tablet and a Galaxy Nexus, but they just don't compete with a Win8 device in terms of capabilities for me. And I can use a lot of Win8 with touch input. But that's the beauty of it, I don't have to. With the keyboard dock I can use it like I use my current laptop and do many more different things. Android and Samsung might have good Pen integration for the few products they offer. But they are still driven by slow ARM SoCs running a mobile OS. That is not appealing to me.
And I wasn't talking about Atom Win8 tablets, those aren't strong enough in my opinion to be interesting to me (I'm currently using a laptop with a Core i3-330UM which is not fast but still crushed any Atom). With the introduction of Haswell and Kabini we will likely see better battery life and/or lower cost for those tablet/hybrids as well. Reply
frozentundra123456 - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - linkSo is there any kind of option for this? I would like a windows tablet, but have to say if I could get an ipad with 3G/4G connectivity for the same price, I would give that strong consideration. When I first bought my Android tablet I thought I would not miss 3G, but it is a major weakness when on a trip and you want to use the tablet (we drive from Minnesota to Ohio and back a few times a year to visit family). And no, I would never even consider another android tablet. I suppose you could use a hotspot, but that is just another device to bother with, and has battery life concerns of its own. Reply
AncientWisdom - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkAgreed. Manufactures have completely dropped the ball in regards to offering Tablets and Hybrids with 3G\4G connectivity. A friend of mine has been on a tight lookout and can't find a single decent device that offers this. Reply
mnbob1 - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI have been a Windows user since the very first version was released and my laptop is running Windows 8 Pro. That said, I can see how a tablet could make good use of the Metro interface but when it comes to using legacy applications, which you would be required to do, you lose the tablet's whole point which is to be a touch device -- not a keyboard or even a stylus device.
Microsoft has gone after a completely different market segment here. This device is heavy, cumbersome, runs hot due to the legacy processor design and requires a fan and vent openings, and gets lousy battery life. The display is large but the pixels per inch is less than competitors.
All of this and they couldn't build in mobile connectivity? Not even 3G? I'll tell you why. The wireless carriers wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole. It's a non-starter. This is not a mobile tablet device.
It's not even a notebook device. It's some strange beast that Microsoft cooked up in their laboratories trying to compete with Apple and Android tablets but trying to hold on to Windows using Windows 8 that's just not really ever going to be tablet friendly because the developers and users just won't ever put down their styluses and give up their tactile keyboards.
And yes I own and love an Apple iPad. It is truly a tablet. It handles 80% of my daily needs which turns out to be web-based. I do almost all of my email correspondence on it. It even has Office compatible apps loaded so I can edit and create spreadsheets, or write a Word document and email them back to my office or in my case I use Dropbox. I read the latest news, get the latest updates on my stocks, the weather, texting all without special applications and even when my tablet is asleep. I get all of this, 3G and 4G wireless, and over 10 hours of battery life.
And yes I wrote this on my iPad. Reply
ATimson - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkIf you want a mobile tablet device, get the Surface RT, not the Surface Pro. Reply
AncientWisdom - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkSadly the RT doesn't answer half of what he does on his iPad. And in any way why would he switch from one tablet to another? Reply
jdperk - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkI don't want a tablet. I think a tablet is a waste of money and time. If all one wants to do is surf the web and check email OK then a tablet, be it iPad or Android, will do. The screen size will make it difficult to do anything with major PC apps but I am sure one can work with them in a pinch. What I want is what Surface Pro is and that is to include Samsung Slate 7 that I only found out about a few months ago. I want a full blown PC that I can take and use like a tablet. I will be able to code, create powerful Excel apps using VBA, and anything else a PC can do. Windows 8 is designed for a touch screen so it works here.
I have been doing my homework and I have devised a docking system for Surface Pro or for that matter Samsung Slate 7 or similar. When I want to work on a PC app I will connect a blue tooth keyboard and mouse, I will use a product from Matrox call DualHead2Go to connect two large monitors and magically I have a docking system for a full PC. Now when I am on the go I just take Surface Pro and use it like a simple tablet; however, if I need to run a full PC app while I am out I can. I can't do that with and iPad, or Asus Tranformer Prime.
As for battery life, it is a full blown PC and one has to power that hardware. I can live with the current battery life. I think most people think and iPad is a productive device, I for one think it is too limiting. My fellow workers have gone the iPad route and I only seen one person find a single use for one and he had to gel break it to get more functionality. He uses his to carry all the manuals he needs for his job in PDF form while traveling.
The next big thing will be when one can carry a monitor the size of a wrist watch and project a 24" display in front of the person or on a wall. Then Surface Pro and others in this form factor will be truly portable.
I also hear everyone talking about the next version will have this or that. That the next version will be better. No one can keep up with technology. If you can buy it then it is already obsolete. So I say buy today what you think will work for you and use it. Yes tomorrow someone will come out with the next big thing. Unless you have megabucks one cannot keep up with the megabytes.
If I can find the funds I will buy Surface Pro and create a docking station as I have described. Right now my $4K 2007 Sager laptop is still working for me. Reply
tablet - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkThis is my reason I think the surface pro is a better alternative tablet/PC to a lot of the competitors it makes a great road warrior one and all alternative I have owned the samsung series 7 slate for a year and I hated the separate docking station setup with the external bluetooth keyboard you could not do work on a plane because of the setup going through the airport security was a pain and packing and carrying the tablet,dock,and bluetooth keyboard and power adapter and setting it up on a table becomes cumbersome after awhile thats why the samsung is on ebay now as i post this message what the surface offers that other windows tablets dont is portability all you have to carry is the tablet and power adapter the keyboard doubles as a smart cover open keyboard tablet awakes from sleep close keyboard tablet goes to sleep when I left meetngs with the samsung I had to grab power adapter,docking station and bluetooth keyboard thats why the surface pro is good for road warriors. Reply
Netscorer - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - linkGosh, road warrior needs more then 4 hours of runtime, mobile connectivity and a keyboard that you can use with laptop on your lap. Surface Pro may be anything but it ain't road warrior. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - linkThe problem is that it costs less to purchase a separate tablet and a separate PC than it does to purchase a tablet PC and a dock. A good dock is outrageously expensive. Why not just buy a kindle fire (or whatever) for only a fraction more. And you dont have to mess with all the problems that docks bring. Reply
KaRRiLLioN - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkAre we going to see a Windows 8 Tablet Roundup? There are a number of them out there, but this is the first one I've seen you guys review, unless I missed it.
Any chance of rounding up some Pro tablets and comparing them? I'm not interested in RT. Reply
GotThumbs - Thursday, January 24, 2013 - linkthe comparison is between a $900 X64 powered computer and a $500 ARM powered tablet that only runs Apps.
It's like comparing a garden trowel to a shovel. They both are similar in function, but one can do significantly more work at the end of the day.
If Apple had a similar product, it would most likely sell for at least $1,200. IMO.
At the end of the day, anyone who knows what their needs are, will make the purchase based on those needs. If they haven't a clue, then they will most likely buy the IProduct.
Best Wishes, Reply
Artanis3 - Friday, January 25, 2013 - linkFinally, a tablet-form hybrid that hopefully ("fingers-crossed") satifies many business-related needs.
I unfortunately work in a job that requires doing random tasks with short notice on weekends - which means that essentially if I go anywhere farther than 30-minutes from home, I have to bring a laptop with me.
If this represents an opportunity for me to get rid of my laptop and have something more portable, where I can access excel and powerpoint locally, or log into a virtual desktop environment, I am definitely excited by it. Reply
ilkhan - Saturday, January 26, 2013 - linkNeeds haswell + thunderbolt for me to be interested at all.
Haswell for performance, battery life, and GPU, thunderbolt for an easy to connect dock + desktop GPU. Stick those on there and you could replace most computers with 2 cables (I dont think thunderbolt can supply enough power on its own). Reply
CSMR - Sunday, January 27, 2013 - linkNice summary, just have to disagree about the connections.
I think the Surface Pro has an excellent choice of connections, using the modern PC standards of Displayport and USB 3.0.
Thunderbolt would require an extra chip, since it is not integrated in Ivy Bridge, and so more power consumption and more cost, and quite likely lower reliability. And all it would do is provide an alternate way to use displayport and USB, since few people use the expresscard slot these days. Reply
Midwayman - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkThis is a really neat concept, but we're still probably two generations of hardware out from it really being viable on a large scale. So say 2016 we'll be looking at really effective tablets running a full OS. Not sure if that means a beefed up android on arm, or windows on x86, but we'll get to the point where the average person only needs a single computing device. Reply
jiang su - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkAll of surface are made in JiangSu(China)
FPY is a problem for us , we can only made 4000 each day for 24 hours.
1 millions surface in Feb9 is a joking , actually we only send about 40000 to America and Canada.

The carrier, which describes itself on its website as being a 'no frills' airline, will operate a Boeing 767-300 aircraft on the route, configured into economy, premium economy and business-class seats.
'As Germany's most popular leisure carrier, we want everyone we take on vacation to get their money's worth,' said Achim Lameyer, Condor's vice-president of sales. 'South Africa is extremely popular as a vacation destination and belongs in Condor's flight plan.'

THE Dorset-based Talbot Village Trust charity has announced record donations of more than £1million.
The trust, established by Georgina and Mary Talbot in the mid 1800s, has supported hundreds of charitable causes across East Dorset.
Last year 37 different organisations benefitted from a pot of £1,141,000 – breaking the charity's previous annual record by £200,000.
Chairman of the trustees Christopher Lees said: "Our main objective is to provide as much financial support for as many East Dorset charities as possible.
"The more we're able to give, the more successful the end result is for the various beneficiaries and we were delighted to reach this milestone."
The trust says it's been able to donate the additional funds because of a 'general and sustained increase' in its income over recent years.
Some of the charities to benefit from Talbot Village Trust grants this year include RLSS Poole Lifeguard (£17,600); Streetwise (£40,500); Mudeford Wood Community Centre (£20,000); Not Just Sundaes community cafe, Wareham (£50,000); Seen but Seldom Heard (£12,132); Cherry Tree Nursery (£150,000); Wheels for Freedom (£12,000); Vita Nova (£7,190); Purbeck Strings (£1,265); DiverseAbilities Plus (£30,000) and St Clements Church, Boscombe (£3,500).
A spokesman for the trust explained: "The trust has supported hundreds of charitable causes in East Dorset distributing around £800,000 in more recent years to local community projects. No scheme is too big or small for considerations as long as it is a capital project promoted by another charity, school, college, university or church."

CUSTOMERS using the main Taunton Post Office when it relocates tomorrow (Friday, January 31) can expect to be served more quickly.
The facility is being moved 75 metres from its current home in North Street to The County Stores.
People will be able to buy stamps, pay bills and sort out their car tax there from 1pm tomorrow.
And for the first time the county town's principal post office will open seven days a week.
County Stores director James Duder said the firm has taken on the current post office staff, while some of the existing store workers have been trained to help when things get busy.
"We're looking forward to the opening – it's an exciting time," said Mr Duder.
"We've converted the back of the store into a brand new post office with four tills and two 'fortresses' offering more security.
"It will enable us to serve customers better.
"With some of our staff being trained up, they will be able to move from the store to the post office when things get busy to avoid some of the long queues customers experienced in the past."
The office has been created at the back of the ground floor, which has undergone a £250,000 refurbishment It will open from 8.30am to 5.30pm Mondays to Saturdays and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
The Post Office has used its current premises rent-free under the terms of a contract with owners Primeco, which has spent over £1million since buying it in 2004.
A Primeco spokesman said no-one has yet been lined up to occupy the building.

I am looking to purchase a new charcoal grill (I own a Weber gas grill). I'm looking at the Weber 22.5" kettle, but am thinking about the Weber Smokey Mountain.
My question is, can I direct grill a steak, if I wanted to, on a WSM? My thought is that the coals would be too far away, or potentially the grill wouldn't get hot enough. I also don't know if it is awkward or possible to manage a steak or chicken breast on an open toppped WSM.
Or am I best off to stick with the kettle and smoke that way when I want?
Can anyone give insight?

The New Face of War: Engineering Medicine for the Wounded Warrior in the 21st Century
Joseph Rosen, Professor of Surgery, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center; Adjunct Associate Professor, Thayer School of Engineering
Friday, November 11, 2011, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
Reconstruction after traumatic injury was once limited to surgery, but today the field is growing to include multiple new disciplines. Revolution in military affairs must be accompanied by a corresponding evolution in medical response. Today, for example, we must develop reconstruction strategies for the polytrauma cases seen in current wars, which involve multiple areas of the body injured by blast or explosion. Present care is limited by technologies and techniques. This talk explores the potential for robotics (prosthetics), transplantation (face), and regeneration (skin, muscle, nerve) to greatly expand the options for treating war wounds, as well as the role of simulation in getting us there.
About the Speaker
Dr. Joseph Rosen is a professor of surgery at DHMC in the division of Plastic Surgery and an adjunct associate professor at the Thayer School of Engineering, where he teaches Engs05 and Engs13 for undergraduates. His interests span from biomedical engineering to biological warfare. For the past 15 years, Dr. Rosen has acted as a consultant for the defense department. He has chaired a panel to review how we respond to blast injuries in the battlefield and how we can improve the medical response and treatment. Presently, Dr. Rosen is part of a consortium evaluating how regenerative medicine and transplantation can be used to restore wounded warriors to functional independence. He is also the chair of an ad hoc committee for virtual reality and training for AACPS. Additionally, Dr. Rosen has been involved in relief work internationally for the past 30 years - most recently in Vietnam where he and his team treat children with congenital and traumatic deformities.

Melissa & Doug Unit Blocks Week: Mixing It Up with Pretend Play
September 6, 2012 at 2:21 pm melissaanddoug 1 comment
Previously during our special "We Love Unit Blocks" week posts, we have shared a bit about the history of Unit Blocks, as well as some ways your little builders can play (and learn!) using various "Blueprint" activities. Now, let's have a little fun with pretend play!
Blocks come in all shapes and sizes, all colors and forms. You can find blocks that stack, jingle, and spell your name. Some of our favorite block sets, like Town Blocks and Farm Blocks, even guide play by giving kids a theme to work with. But what's really special about Unit Blocks is that they don't offer much guidance at all! Their light color, sturdy structure, and uniform look make them fit right in with whatever young imaginations can conjure.
What does that mean for you? Playtime with Unit Blocks is limited only by your imagination! They can represent anything you can dream up, and their versatility also makes them perfect for mixing with other toys for pretend-play fun. Here are some imagination-driven play ideas that inspire us:
Roads & Rails / Train Stations & Bridges
Ball Course
Mini Grocery
Block Dude
Other play ideas can include:
- Aquarium Tank or Zoo
- Town Hall
- Picnic Table
What ideas can you add to this list? Leave your comments below, and email your creations to firstname.lastname@example.com to share!

The Rancho Cucamonga City Council, at its Wednesday night meeting, approved an agreement with Abundant Living Family Church to provide transportation service for seniors to and from grocery stores.
The church approached the city last year with a proposal to support the city's current senior transportation program with a weekly transportation service for seniors.
The service had been available in the past but was discontinued after the expiration of grant money. The city already provides a weekday transportation service for resident seniors through the West End YMCA.
The church has recruited volunteers and will provide insurance and funding for the effort.

Rich Dad Poor Dad will....
Robert Kiyosaki has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. With perspectives that often contradict conventional wisdom, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence, and courage. He is regarded worldwide as a passionate advocate for financial education.
"The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money... but never learn to have money work for them."
Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad - The #1 Personal Finance Book of All Time!
"Rich Dad Poor Dad is a starting point for anyone looking to gain control of their financial future." (USA Today)
©2011 Robert T. Kiyosaki (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
This book encapsulates capitalism and for the most part whatever your philosophy, the advice is sound...at least from a 'Western' stance. Kiyosaki is clearly very passionate about the subject matter which adds an air of confidence and authority to his book. Some have criticised that the whole,'rich dad' thing is a fabrication...I would suggest that this is an irrelevance. Any successful entrepreneur will tell you that acting 'as if' is often a given. Kiyosaki can get carried away at times and make what I would say are ridiculous suggestions such as education being for mere fools......and this lets an otherwise excellent book down. At times, Kiyosaki apologises for being unfair...and then continues to be just that and there can be a two-faced element to his arguments as a consequence. Narration is always important with audiobooks and Wheeler's approach is impeccable. I'd encourage Kiyosaki to take some time out to embrace some more Eastern practices as money alone whilst important is ultimately a mere fabrication of mankind. Nevertheless a very enjoyable listen...if at times a tad trite.
"I'll be buying assets from here on!"
I really enjoyed this book. It teaches you the mentality that drives wealthy people and the core principles that made them rich. I am putting these principles into action.
"Fantastic book!! Very useful"
The narration of the book is really fantastic, Tim Wheeler has great voice.I also like different topics that are covered around this book. It gives an idea of how we can train our children about finance and also there is a lot adults can learn and think about the financial information provided in this book. Author has not only gave us thought process but also gave an idea of how to start with it. It changed my perspective of thinking towards money, rich people and managing our finances.
"Badly read"
I haven't finished listening to this book yet and one of the reasons it's taking me a long time to get through is that it's read in a very monotonous tone, which makes the material feel more boring than it needs to.
But I also have problems with the content of the book, since the author spends so much time telling us to accumulate assets instead of liabilities, but doesn't really get down to the nuts and bolts of how to do that, which is frustrating.
"Motivational but thin on details."
This is a bit of a mix, really, and there are some issues.
It seems America-centric. A lot of the advice offered is not directly relevant to other countries because the laws are different. For example, in the UK it is not necessary to set up a corporation to claim business expenses offset against tax; you can instead set up as a sole trader or partnership.
It also does seem that Kiyosaki is cherry-picking when it comes to anecdotes offered. This may or may not be the case, but it is the feeling I get. He seems to go off on a rant when talking about an investment that increases in value by 16% year-on-year because he's been told by other people that the investment is "far too risky," but he does not explain the investment.
Nevertheless, some of the advice I do feel is sound. To own businesses (rather than taking time to run them yourself) and to learn to make good investment decisions and make them both seem good ideas from the point of view of the end goal of generating money without working for money. That's obviously the ticket to financial security which is what the book is really about. If you have a regular income and you don't have to "work" 40 hours a week to get it, that's the goal.
The problem for me with this book and many similar books is that it describes what has worked for Kiyosaki. Kiyosaki has a unique set of skills as has every other person. In his case it led to riches; in other people's cases that may not really apply.
"An enjoyable,outstanding eye opener !!"
I will 110% be listening to this audio book again as I feel that there was too much valuable information to take in all at once, next time I will be taking notes and using them to begin educating my own children. I listened to the whole book within 24hrs as I just wanted to know more and since finishing the book I have bought 3 more of Rich Dads audio books.

Tim Wheeler was a great candidate for Rich Dads audio books as he made the listening experience more pleasurable with his tone of voice and delivery of speech. He also has the ability to make you feel as though he is actually sitting beside you and talking to you personally.
It made me feel a little bit angry at times as I felt like the working class are actually kept in the dark about a lot of the topics spoke about in this audio book. It also aggravated me to think that my children are now also being "Trained" at school to become only suitable for employment. I have since been proactive about changing my children's course of education and also about they're financial way of thinking. A definite must have for any loving, caring parent.
For any one serious about opening there mind and changing the way they see things I would highly recommend. A small price to pay for potentially life changing information!!
"Inspiring, entertaining and insightful"
This book totally lived up to the hype. Inspiring stories and advice on all aspects of wealth creation as well as some nice spiritual observations.
Understanding the difference between 'classes' and assets/liabilities for me personally. I thought the whole book was good as an audio book.
"An Inspiration"
An inspirational book. Recommend this book highly if you want to learn how to take control of your finances and make money work for you!!!
I have listened this through twice now and find it to me so helpful. Great real world advice and philosophies around wealth and mindset
"Just Amazing"
Priceless words of wisdom about money and finance.
Great read. Must be read. the story is very nice. and the content is very rich.
"Very Motivating"
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for motivation to ignore any excuses and doubts and take control of their own financial situation.
The use of the dichotomy of the"rich Dad" and the "poor Dad" to explain the differences in thinking and financial attitudes works perfectly.
This is much better than any other book about finance I have come across in the past simply because it is much less boring and actually quite entertaining. It was very refreshing to not be forced to wade through chapters upon chapters of mind numbing drudgery, as is the case with most books about financial matters.
After finishing Rich Dad Poor Dad I experienced a renewed enthusiasm to work towards financial freedom. It presents the information in a manner which is easy for the layman to understand and digest, and is very effective in leaving the reader feeling energized and enthusiastic.
"Great Book - Bad Narrator"
Robert - Yes
Tim - No
The narrator was constantly swallowing and making disgusting noises when he wasn't talking. The noises are loud and extremely unpleasant, especially when listening on earphones.
The content was good.
The book is very good!. The reader, Tim Wheeler, has not received proper breathing instruction to narrate a book. Some people don't breath while they speak. This is not a healthy habit. It is distracting to listen to a book where the reader holds his breath and gasps between pauses. It actully interrupts my breathing while listening to him.!!!

"Focus on your Assets....the end"
I've not read the print edition.
Other investing/business type books, nothing specifically as it has it's own twist on things.
Anybody else.
Focus on my balance sheet and less on my income statement.
This book can be summed up by saying, focus on your balance sheet and overcome obstacles when they're presented.
"Good but more fluff than content"
I can honestly say I learned 2 major things from this book... mind you important things but still only 2
"simplistic and self satisfied"
more research and less boasting; more solid information not just anecdotes
this author
basic points are good but never elaborated upon
"Surprisingly Close-Minded"
Kiyosaki listened to both dads, thought about the advice, and made his decision. I thought going into the book that it would be a presentation of the two different perspectives. Instead it was the bashing of one and exalting of the other. Not that I disagree with rich dad or agree with poor dad, but I would have appreciated the book more if it would have presented the ideas in a more non-biased format, and shown the results of the two types of advice.
Good points are made, I just wish they'd have been presented differently.
"Thought Provoking"
Yes, short read, some interesting thoughts
Yes, a few tweeks
Probably one of those iconic books, that everyone should read, so that they can talk about it with all the other people who have read it
"great and simple"
of course, it was easy to follow and very motivational.
the rich dad, he was funny
yes, it made me dedicate myself to learning about investing.
read it, should change your thinking.

Gators land two ESPN300 members
Published: Thursday, December 12, 2013 at 12:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 13, 2013 at 1:16 p.m.
With Florida's issues in pass protection this season and the loss of three seniors, the offensive line is one of the biggest priorities for the Gators in the 2014 recruiting cycle.
The Gators helped meet those needs in a major way Thursday by landing Jacksonville Providence offensive tackle David Sharpe, who has been the top overall target on UF's board for months.
Florida also picked up a pledge from Perry Taylor County's Moral Stephens, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound receiver who is being recruited by Florida as a tight end.
The 6-foot-6, 288-pound Sharpe chose the Gators over Tennessee. He also received interest from Clemson, Florida State, Georgia and LSU.
He made six trips to Gainesville during his recruiting process and built a strong relationship with the UF coaches.
"They've been there from the start. So just keeping that relationship with them from day one, I know I'm going to be comfortable there for my four years," Sharpe said during his radio announcement on 1010 XL in Jacksonville.
ESPN ranks Sharpe as the No. 18 prospect in the nation and No. 2 at his position. He's also rated a five-star recruit by 247Sports, while Rivals and Scout have him as a four-star player.
Sharpe's father, David Sr., said his son's decision was based on one factor.
"Early playing time, that's really all it is," he said. "David is a great athlete. He wants to play and he thinks he can at Florida. And obviously they'll offer him a good degree for whatever he decides to take up in school."
Stephens got an offer from UF coach Will Muschamp over the phone Thursday morning and committed on the spot, revealing his decision on social media.
He was a standout at one of Florida's summer camp sessions in June and attended the Vanderbilt game last month. Stephens held more than a dozen offers from other schools, including Florida State, Miami, LSU and Ohio State.
UF now has 18 verbal commitments and 11 members from the ESPN300 with the additions of Sharpe and Stephens. The Gators currently have 22 scholarships available for their 2014 class.
Verbal commitments are not binding until prospects sign their national letters of intent Feb. 5.

Guys, put the links in correct place.
RadiationBoy can you stop talking!! I'm so sick of all your bullshit. Like seriously you are a twelvie behind a keyboard, grow up or fuck off. Everyone is sick of you.
radi boi try very hard not to tard. you consistently reply to the rong post. make fanatical claims. this is a child troll. feed dicks
Hey, you mentioned you are a movie maker RadiationBoy. Where can we see your movies?
Wrong episode.
Luckily your completely wrong as the first season was fantastic. a brief comment from a movie maker……Radi
The best marvel-Netflix series to have been created in my opinion, the actor who portrays the superhero 'Jessica Jones' does so perfectly, ensuring that the viewer can understand that she is no where near the the typical description of a superhero! And then there's the villain of Killgrave, or The Purple Man, who David Tennant plays brilliantly! His portrayal of Killgrave managed to make him my favorite villain to have appeared in a marvel property, as he was chilling, cold and damn right awesome! An absolute must watch for any marvel fan and one of my all time favorites, cannot wait for season 2!
Wow, I have to say that I went into this series with high hopes... What came after I had finished the first season was complete and utter disappointment, and if my rating was to be solely based on that disappointing first season, then there would be a single star there, luckily I found the second season to be more enjoyable, earning it the three stars that I have given it. I can only hope that the third season will greatly improve this show, as otherwise I don't know how much more I'll be able to put myself through. I much prefer him in the defenders, however this is not a review of that, and therefore will not be affecting my feeling towards Daredevil. However it appears that this is a very unpopular opinion as many people have a love for the show, so I would not personally recommend it, however I suppose that watching it could at the very least be beneficial if you plan to watch the defenders.
Gripping, confusing and exhilarating are three of the words that I would use to describe this absolutely crazy show. The mystery of 11, the upside-down, will, and the demigorgon is one that cannot be easily figured out and the second and third season that have already been renewed will only make this series stronger. Unfortunately there isn't much else that I can say about the show, however this is because I don't want to ruin the experience for anyone who is about to start, or is thinking about starting this fantastic series.
In one word; brilliant! Truly felt as if I was once again reading the books that kept me so hooked, and whilst I'm not happy about having to wait until next February for the second third, and then having to wait another year for the final third, however I will survive. All of the actors are absolutely great in each of their respective roles and do honor to the amazing series of books. A definite recommendation and a must watch for anyone who has even the tiniest wonder about whether they should watch it!
Bojack the goddamn Horseman, this show isn't anything particularly special if I am to be completely honest, and think that its kinda surreal that it is renewed for a forth season, whereas the likes of shows much greater than it fell victim to there respective companies and were canceled! Now despite me saying this, I do think that Bojack Horseman is a good show, and that it actually even has a few funny episodes, however these are really more ruled down to funny moments. I think that a forth season could look to delve further into the comedy and less into the drama, although I do understand that the show is under the main premise of drama, how serious can a show about a rundown, alcoholic horseman really be? I wouldn't typically recommend this to anyone straight away, and would sooner recommend a multitude of much greater animated, comedy, or drama shows, however I suppose that if push came to shove and they wanted something that fell into this shows very specific description, then I suppose anything is possible. If by chance you're reading this in hopes of a deciding vote as to whether you should watch this show or not, then I would personally say that yes you should, as I do like the show, however, treat yourself and go watch Futurama if you want a better comedy animation, and if you want one of a animated drama, then go watch Death Note! But for a combination of the three, I suppose this would suffice.
SO, this show is very good, and I have to say that I found it to be incredibly interesting and all around very gripping, as I watched the show in a very binge-like fashion. Now I have seen reviews from people who claimed that the show is too 'real', to this I say bull! Whilst I can see where they may possibly be coming from, I have to say that I think that it being so real is what makes it so great, in the sense that it can show the very serious point behind the series; what people say and do matters. Without this very real feeling, I do not think that the show would have become as successful, and also believe that its message would not be shown nearly as much. All in all though it is seriously a great show, and one that I would recommend to anyone interested in watching it!
Guys, should add this links to the episode 141 not for 142.
such a pity this show was cancelled.

This is not midnight,its an episode from game of thrones :(
Every single episode so far is wrong... wth uploaders... greed at it's finest.
Does anyone have any copies of this episode that are on openload or thevideo, and are not also Sketechers rather than Preacher?
The flashback scenes with David Bowie in season 3 are bittersweet. But such a Bowie-esque way for Jeffries to actually appear in ep. 15! Also ep. 15 had me in tears from 41-47 & 1/2 minutes. Any other Twin Peaks fan will feel it when they see it too! But, beautifully done.
The openload links for Game of Thrones 706 are working, but AGAIN some posters today keep on spamming EDITED versions--anything shorter than a total of 1h9m. THANKS cutiepie, plagijator, neuronyc, mimitosha, kirimi20 (and probably some I've missed) for caring enough to post the full episodes--unlike WatchOpenload, janosik, Tonia1, georgepavel, and others. You go on my trusted list; the crap-spammers know where they can go.
The stupid and messed up kid just went 4 times more stupid and messed up. xD
Thats what you get when you put a family name american actor, with a British comedian. Is it that good, i'm up to 100 plus shows i'm watching and new seasons of some of the best have started. You really give it a 10/10…..thats like women, they rarely exist but in airbrushed magazine photos……but if you tell me to watch it, i will. But i'll only listen to your word. No one else's ! Radi
None of the links are working
Forget everything you know about the movie and watch this show! Great characters, acting and story. It has it all, humor, heart, suspense and let's not forget about the violence. I love it! 10/10
Guys, put this links on episode 20, it is the episode with day 19.
Game of Thrones 706--Be aware that there are defective versions. From the HBO logo to the eye opening is 108:40 in the later posts (of total length 109.59, 111:28, 112:22); for the leaks and others whose total length is 106:01 and 107:07 (the FLEET), the same logo to eye is only 105:55--almost three minutes shorter! Does anyone know whether time compression or actual cutting is involved? THANK YOU to the later poster for the correct version.
1080p link added

A great series a must watch its more about family than mma .
Love all this chicago series but this one is my favourite
Amazing series a must watch.
You Dirty DIRTY big Kyndryd!!!!! But only cos you beat me to saying it…..bubbles, her smile is bubbles……Have you noticed in the fourth season she's just started wearing cleavage showing clothing????? WOOF WOOF
a bubble bath with Alison...... yes, please.
Yaaaaiiii! Bobo is back :)
Someone get Maggie!! I gotta see what's next!
it got a slow start like all marvel tv shows does,but its amazing and its setting up for the new punisher and iron fist season 2.
No criticism, but i'd die if i had watched them all at one, dilutes the plot and characters and leaves nothing for you when its all over. I couldn't handle that. Its NOT a movie or meant to be…….Radi
If anyone watched them strait through without pacing the action, you'll be waiting a year to see the next one. The Sheriff has spoken Radi
A surprise twist? So they do know how to write. Color me surprised
Absolutely fantastic, hooked throughout the entire series and made it through the entire thing just today. I don't know why people simply think it's 'okay' cause I think its amazing!
Subs for the different languages would've been helpful. I don't really speak Japanese, Chinese, Russian etc.

What Is A Strider Balance Bike?Our Balance bikes are designed with only foot propulsion to teach the fundamentals of riding. Because they have no pedals or other complications, most children find riding a balance bike as easy as walking. When the fundamentals of balance and steering are mastered, transitioning to a bicycle with pedals or motorcycle is very straightforward.
From the company Founder all the way to the warehouse shipping staff, Strider Sports Intl., Inc. is full of riding enthusiasts, most of whom are also parents of young Strider Balance Bike-riding children. Our team knows kids, knows riding, and knows how to make a learning bike that truly functions for young riders.
At Strider®, we love riding bikes and we love inspiring kids to ride. Our mission is to build lightweight, efficient, all-terrain balance bikes that build two-wheeled balance, coordination, and confidence in children.
Strider Balance Bikes are the result of 8+ years of development, manufacturing improvements, riding, observation, testing, and even racing. When you purchase a Strider Balance Bike, you buy into the 'club' that is Team Strider; you become one of the early adopters that are changing the paradigm of how kids learn to ride and setting the new standard for how young children explore the world on two wheels.
"I can't say enough about the quality and value of Strider!!!! Both of our kids STILL ride their Strider and it's still in amazing shape considering what it's been through!"
"I am so thankful that my son's strider bike has helped him to so easily transition to an activity we will be able to do together for years. Thank you so much, what a great product."
"I strongly feel that the design and engineering behind Strider is superior. It has the lowest minimum seat height yet extends high enough for an older toddler."
"The Strider community is really a true family. The World Championship is a part of our lives that we will dearly miss. People at Strider HQ know our names, stories, and family."

KINGWOOD, Texas - A stranger was seen taking pictures of an elementary school student who was riding a bike home from school.
Woodland Hills Elementary officials said the incident happened on Wilderness Point on Tuesday.
Officials said extra police patrols have since been dispatched to the area. It's an effort Humble Independent School District officials said is to ward off a man that may be targeting students.
According to a letter sent to parents by Principal Deb Castellanos Beard, a man repeatedly took photographs of the student. The student rode home and told a parent.
The man was standing next to a white SUV when he was taking photographs, the letter stated. A detailed description of the man was not released.
School officials reminded parents to encourage their children to walk or ride their bikes home in groups, never talking to strangers and reminding students to report anything unusual to a parent or teacher immediately.
"It's very important for me to inform my children because I would hate to think anything would happen to my kids," parent Corne Oosthuize said.

Crystal Palace's under-18s Des Bulpin has left the club to join Millwall.
The 62-year-old will link up with former Eagles boss Ian Holloway at the south London club where he will be first team coach.
Bulpin became Palace's under-18 coach last summer.
The experienced coach previously had stints at Bristol City and Bristol Rovers and also worked at Queens Park Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur.

The Rangers just got a whole hell of a lot better. Reportedly the trade is Rick Nash, a 3rd round draft pick, and a minor league defenseman for Artem Anisimov, Brandon Dubinsky, Tim Erixon, and a 1st rounder (in a very deep draft).
My thoughts?
We just brought in an elite player. I'm a numbers guy, usually, but in this case, the numbers flat out lie. Why? If you look at Rick Nash you have to look at it this way. He is the all time leading scorer for a franchise that has never brought him ANYTHING to play with. He's a legitimate 30/30 guy if you put him with the likes of David Vyborny and Manny Malhotra…imagine what he could be with guys like Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik? Or if you put him with Derek Stepan and Chris Kreider or Ryan Callahan and match him up against the other teams 2nd best line. Which line do you shut down? The one with Gaborik and Richards? or the one with Stepan and Nash?
Who did we give up?
Brandon Dubinsky, a guy who, let's face it, as a SOLID 3rd liner with 50 point potential. Plays the boards well, can dominate for stretches and can utterly disappear for stretches.
Artem Anisimov, a guy who is also a 3rd liner, and who often times drew the ire of our head coach. He's a good kid, I love his game, but he's more of a 15 goal, 50 point player himself.
Tim Erixon, a very good prospect, but one in an area where the Rangers are set for decades to come.
A first in a very deep draft. Sucks, especially since Clark is such a fantastic drafter, but you have to give to get.
All this for a guy who can legitimately put up 40 goals year in and year out. A guy who has scored 30 goals every year in 7 of the last 8 years which includes a 27 goal affair in 75 games, and a guy who has done all of this playing high leverage minutes with players who wouldn't even crack the Rangers top 9 lineup next season. He's never played with anyone as dynamic as Derek Stepan, leave alone Brad Richards. He's never had a legitimate 40 goal teammate like he does now in Marian Gaborik. He's a power forward, big size, outstanding speed, incredible hands, underrated vision, phenomenal board player, and has a sick shot. In short, he's an elite player. I've coveted him on the Rangers for a long time. He's a better player than Marian Gaborik in terms of all aspects of his game. He fits John Tortorellas style perfectly with his ability to both push the pace, and his ability to grind it out. He can kill penalties and has been lethal there before scoring at least 1 SHG a year for 5 of the last 6 years (total of 14 in that span)
The Rangers, a team that was within 2 wins of the Stanley Cup Finals. A team that was within 1 game of the Presidents Trophy. A team that won the East. Just replaced 2 3rd line players with a legitimate #1 power forward. We just got a whole hell of a lot better folks. And if they can now either acquire Shane Doan, Alexander Semin, or Bobby Ryan, they may be the team to beat in the entire NHL.
Here's hoping that Nashville matches on Weber and this will be about as good an offseason as a team can have.
