Apple isn't exactly who I would point to as a good comparison. They have plenty of overdesigned pages: http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/



Can't use mouse-scroll on this page, only arrow keys.


Disable JS on Apple.com and reload the pages. They should render flawlessly and give you back responsiveness, without the animations.

(I'm talking about their iPad Pro and Mac Pro product pages, not necessarily the whole site.)


You think the above site is acceptable because it works well if you disable JavaScript?


Yes. For me it makes no difference because JS is not enabled. So for my use case, it is acceptable. Visit the Surface Book page without JS. You'll see it renders perfectly fine and all the information is there!


I'm able to scroll, but it just move me to the next part of the "keynote," and not down the page.


I agree that Apple overdesigns too, but the DIRECT competition of the Surface Book is the Apple page I referenced.


Flash?! Wow, I wasn't expecting that from Apple.



It shows up with a Flash "click to play" icon on my browser (FF under Win7.)
