There's no problem with people chiming in with their field of expertise. Perhaps he was coming off as bragging or pushing his job experience in a needless way. He said his 10 cents and talked about what he thinks is relevant or soon to be relevant in this industry. You don't have to agree with it. Sounds like someone is jealous of said credentials.

No, it's ok. We'll put it down to passion. Perhaps you took my first reply as rude or abrupt also. It was not my intention either - merely debating if updating the infrastructure for the sake of a new device was necessary. And no matter how much we continue to debate the situation, we would still never know if "the large company" even needs to move to a tablet deployment - as not everyone does. I completely see your point and you're most probably right. I also would definitely agree that there should not be a LAN port on the SP3!
As happy for him, or impressed I am, with his accomplishments and achievements in his career; his field neither interests me, nor makes me the slightest bit jealous. I congratulate him on his success - but no, not jealous. More than happy where I am. Thanks.
Also, I never said he had to agree with me, or vice versa. I too was just sharing my opinion. We were just debating...

I would want, coming from a SP2...
1. Screen Size- Same as SP3. I think 12in is fine. Hows about a thinner border and a easy way to kill the windows flag on the tablet face.
2. No bloatware/freeware- Give it on a thumbdrive or as a downloadable link to those that want it.
3. Screen Resolution- Same as SP3. As long as the dot pitch is high enough so text is smooth and windows can SUPPORT DPI adjustment as well as a Apple product, I'm fine. I want to run my Photoshop it high resolution, but have my menus readable please.
4. Weight and size- Same is ok. A bit heavier with larger battery. I don't care if Broadwell/Haswell can be used without a fan. Make it work so 80% what a person does, doesn't need it. But the 20% work that makes the CPU/GPU hit 100% has a fan to keep it cooler. NOT hot, but warm to touch is fine. I wouldn't care if I could hear the fan that much if I knew I could keep it on my lap or hold it without feeling like my fingers are going to get burned like my SP2.
5. Ports- At lease 2 USB 3.0 and one USB-C if possible. With higher wattage to allow USB fast charging of cellphones.
6. CPU/MEMORY/STORAGE- Minimum i5/i7 Haswell, or Broadwell if possible./8GB (C'mon,memory is cheap now)/128GB SSD/
7. Display- Same or better than the one in the SP3.
8. Exta hardware- a Long charging cord. I would rather have a thinner ac adapter than a thicker (square) brick. Easier to put in a bag.
Pen- At least something that works as well as Wacom pens. AND works to ALL corners of the display!
9. Price- $1500 on the high end. BUT include the damn keyboard. You want people to NOT buy Apple? Give more at a cheaper price. Once they see how good it is, they'll continue to buy the product.
10. Battery life - At least 8 hours of web use or word processing. Using 60% brightness. Or watching a HD SSD stored movie for up to 6hrs. Enough to last a long flight.

I would love USB C. USB charging would be even better, but don't if it's possible with the power requirements of a SP4.
That's true of the micro USB power/data connector on the S3. However, they doesn't [sic] has [sic] to make it a data connection.

Good point, well said. I still long for it though...

Well at least 2 USB 3.0 ports then. One on each side.
Yes, but it typically requires a OTG Cable to accomplish this...
I think this is a case where it's a half house on which is better. When i originally bought it i was a little annoyed that there was no magnetic locking for the cover etc, but after owning for a while, i actually really like that it just flops back, makes it feel just like a book and it has actually really grown on my compared to prizing the voer off my tablet cases.
All i'd like is same/more power (no core M please!) but with an if possible, fanless design.
