Of course, the page has a photo of DJ using it. What about a developer ;)


Haha yeah of course they'll advertise a DJ because it's a hip kind of gig! Makes sense!

I see developers as - stereotypically - having a better understanding of hardware and software interaction. As in, a developer who likes Linux could see the Surface Book as a hardware platform.

In my experience, DJs and music types have been traditionally drawn to Apple products for three main reasons: 1. Ease of use, 2. Stability, and 3. Native low-latency drivers.

There is a pretty worthy backlash regarding the new Apple single USB-C unveiling, and from my perspective, the iOS vs. full OS fork is only getting worse from a creative user standpoint...if Apple continues to push the way the have in the past (dropping multiple USB ports like they dropped optical drives), musicians might be reminded of the fiasco surrounding the Final Cut product in recent memory.
