It didn't take me three months to realize that the touch cover made for a shitty keyboard, the touchpad was microscopic, and the kickstand made the whole thing unusable for a lot of "precariously perched" use cases (seated on the couch, seated on the train or subway).

If it's a good computer, you'll like it immediately in the store. If it takes three months to get used to the weird form factor, Microsoft will never sell any of them.

Not really. However, since you're operating on prejudice, there's no point in wasting rational arguments on you.

"I used the product in the store and didn't like it" isn't "operating on prejudice." It's how people make purchasing decisions.
