Our users have a choice of laptop or iPad/Surface other than a desktop thin client on our VM Ware network. 90% choose the Win7 laptop. They're more expensive, slower, and break more often than the thin client but not as often as the iPads. The Surface's are new so no experience base with them yet. Our hardware group absolutely hate touch screens. I'm a Network Engineer...I have no use for them either. My brother does IT for a school district that equipped all of their middle school kids with cutting edge iPads. 700 of them. My brother had to get good at replacing the very expensive coated touch screens that the evil empire said mere mortals couldn't replace. He got no help from Apple other than expensive parts. That experiment lasted three years and they switched to Chrome books. I guarantee as sure as I'm sitting here *that touch screen will fail within a year...if not sooner*, and you've got no chance to fix it yourself. I can order parts from Elecraft for all my rigs and fix them. No sweat. I'm curious why is direct sampling SDR's like the 7300 are supposed to be the second coming why Icom stuck with the traditional superhet architecture on it's "flagship" 7851? Maybe they realize the technology is at least 5 years away from being competitive. Everybody is ignoring W4TV's 800lb Gorilla, ADC overload.
