Walt Mossberg, reviewing the Microsoft Surface Pro:

It’s too hefty and costly and power-hungry to best the leading tablet, Apple’s full-size iPad. It is also too difficult to use in your lap. It’s something of a tweener — a compromised tablet and a compromised laptop.

“Our goal was a no compromise design,” said Steven Sinofsky, back in August. Microsoft execs repeatedly used the words “no compromises” to describe the tablet Laptop hybrid they envisioned, and the result: a hefty, bulky, pricy device powered by a half-baked, confusing, dual-layer OS.

Life is full of compromises. what matters is what you are willing to compromise on.
