The “post-PC” era has seen another entrant in it: the gorilla in the PC space, Microsoft, with the launch of their new Surface tablets. Are they magic? Smoke-and-mirrors? Too high priced? Shipping soon or months from now? The Gang explores these questions and a lot more.
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
