My comments are geared towards the claim that the combination laptop/tablet computers are going grab a big chuck of the market, not that some people don't like them. According to what I read, this "big growth" of Windows has them up to around 9 percent of tablet units shipped last quarter. Good compared to where they were, not so good compared to Apple or Android. The question is whither or not this growth is purely about the initial hype and marketing push or if it's sustainable. A lot of devices have sputtered after the initial marketing push. If they are the hot new Christmas gift for 4th quarter and continue to grow, then they might have something.

The thing is though that even a couple of years ago, I wouldn't have considered a hybrid - they just weren't good enough IMHO - so I had a laptop and a tablet - now I can just use the SP3. My phone is a Note 4 so between that and the SP3, I really no longer have a use for a separate tablet.
