What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The Verge.
Vera BullockThe Verge reviewed Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra, and the reviewer says he spent five minutes just staring at it, trying to work out what he'd do with a five thousand nine hundred dollar laptop.
Dr. Nina ByteFive minutes is generous. I stared at the price for an hour and it stared back.
Vera BullockBut it looks like a MacBook Pro and the display is bright. That's something, right?
Dr. Nina BytePro: it's bright enough to read your bank balance in a tunnel. Con: it costs a used car.
Dr. Nina ByteCon: the reviewer wasn't surprised by anything, and I'm not paying nearly six thousand dollars for a shrug.
Vera BullockA used car.
Dr. Nina ByteA used car that can open spreadsheets.
Dr. Nina ByteTwo stars out of five, and I'm certain the webcam is listening, because it has been quiet in a very smug way.
Vera BullockKenji wants one anyway, I assume, as a very expensive tray for his cereal.
