    <p>One less dongle: Apple is selling USB-C to Lightning cables (in 1 and 2 meter lengths) for plugging in your iPhone/iPad.</p>

    <p>A generous word is "aspirational". For business and the consumer there was somewhere between little and nothing in this.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>Of course all of this is Apple-like cutting edge hyper expensive innovation. However for the average consumer they are not looking at a Surface AIO since other manufacturers do consumer solution much cheaper. If you are graphic artist you have traditionally gone to Apple so this may move Microsoft into that market.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>Surface Book is a good update but I think many wanted a Surface Ultrabook all along. I wonder how business would like a "creator update". Business might be confused by&nbsp;what’s in it for them.</p>
    <p>Usual Microsoft event where Windowsphone wasn’t mentioned. No change there.</p>
    <p>It was great technology and the headline products sound wonderful. Great high end announcements. Possibly the strategy is a Apple like premium product idea where partners make the consumer and business PCs for most people.</p>
