I've liked all of MS's hardware, I wish they'd lean into it more, but for whatever reasons they never seem to be fully committed to it -- perhaps because they don't want to tread on the OEM's?  But what are the OEM's going to do install linux! (as if).

I think that they've really cornerd the 2-in-1 market for tablets that can also double as a laptop with their orignal Surface Pro line.  You only ever see those being used, or iPad Pro's by the Apple elitists.  Their other products have to exist alongside OEM competition, so it is only to be expected that they're less succesfull.  All of their hardware is very well built, but also pretty expensive when compared to the competition.  PC users are just less prone to paying extortionate amounts for hardware than Apple users are I guess.

As for the Surface Studio all in one PC's, they're really a niche product.  As with the Surface Pro line they offer something truely unique, but the asking price is just too high, especially considering they're using older laptop parts.

News: Hasbro Invest $1 Billionin games.

If I was on the board of Hasbro I would be asking questions as to why we've given a billion dollars to a clown that can produce a sentence like this:

"Video games is part of that thing when the comapny says it's going to be focusing on certain things."

We really are going to have to (as a culture) are going to go through a period of un-learning the concept of "seeing is believing" when it comes to video presentation.  Some of that was in the uncanny valley (the scene driving through the valley actually).
