Apple boss Tim Cook isn’t a fan of Microsoft’s new Surface Book
Apple boss Tim Cook has described the concept of Microsoft’s new Surface Book as “sort of deluded”.
Collecting a gold medal award in Dublin as honorary patron of the Trinity College Philosophical Society, he engaged in a Q&A session with students where he also said:
My view on the surface is very simple and straightforward. I don’t believe in a product that tries too hard to do too much.
According to Breaking News, he added:
With the Surface, you have two operating systems essentially. So it’s trying to be a tablet and it’s trying to be a notebook. That’s cool to do from some respects but the result, I think the overall result, is that it’s not the best tablet and it’s not the best notebook.
It’s sort of a deluded kind of thing. You find it not being good on either.
That’s my opinion. You may have a different one, that’s OK, the world is full of them.
The Apple boss, who came out as gay last year, went on to applaud Ireland for "championing the cause of [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] people around the world" as he discussed diversity.
