True, but I think the problem was that the WinRT looked like ordinary Windows but couldn&#x27;t run any of the applications that people put on them (x86 binaries). Plus, it was competing against another form of itself (the Pro) in a squashed market anyway (Android gazillion models + iPad), where people typically saw tablets as a consumption device (I could be wrong, but my dad still dislikes my mum&#x27;s iPad and will go to his laptop to do anything any day).<p>So WinRT and SurfaceRT struggled. My sister bought one and liked it though.
