    Stress testing a Surface

    http://cnettv.cnet.com/torture-testi...-50135231.html

    One of the marketing features of the surface was the build quality of the slate. Apple for instance often use alluminium rather than magnesium alloy. Myself I find this makes me worry about things like the air, compared to a samsung.

    With the surface Microsoft talked up their VapourMG technology, which is more about making thinner MagAlloy than anything else. With the bonded screen in the tablet (something which phones commonly do, but few tablets), it was only a matter of time before someone started to put these things to the test. Cnet did.

    Re: Stress testing a Surface

    I just did a similar type of test on my skateboard. I could boot it through windows, but I couldn't boot it to Windows.

    So my skateboard completely failed the tablet stress test.
