built-in stand is a nice touch.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Netflix? my fucking toilet can run that.

 

[VanWinkle]

Built in kickstand actually looks pretty nice

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Heh, did the first unit crash?

Demo fail.

 

[Canuck76]

Glad i didn't miss the patented whitta hating on MS

 

[Brinbe]

wtf

 

[Totakeke]

Omg omg it's so horrible kill it now with fire look at microsoft they so shit hahaha.


This thread is stupid.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Nice, a built in kickstand.

 

[MThanded]

It has a kickstand. Amazing.

 

[Kusagari]

Does anyone, except MS, not think this is going to bomb?

 

[Randdalf]

To be fair, it looks sturdier and better to hold than an iPad. I guess this is meant more for landscape than portrait, given how Windows 8 is laid out. Question is - can I access the desktop still?

 

[Kilrogg]

I can't wait for yet another Microsoft hardware attempt to crash and burn on the market.

I appreciate that they're trying, but come on, tablets are nothing conference-worthy these days. You were too late after the iPad, just like the Zune was too late after the iPod.

 

[enzo_gt]

Okay that stand is super dope.

 

[Windu]

that looks nice. shame about it probably being ARM though.

Does anyone, except MS, not think this is going to bomb?

i expect it to do really well.

 

[Zapages]

this is could be a game changer... My university tested Ipads and IBM Tablets for students... Both of them failed due to lack of streaming options of windows media player (WMV) files.

The school could give these to students instead of investing into powerful laptops for their academic needs.

Package includes:
Windows tablet
External DVD+/-RW
Case with a bluetooth keyboard.
Set everything up for the laptop and be good.
Also external mouse (optional)

 

[JABEE]

Can you only hold it in landscape orientation?

 

[FStop7]

Visible torx screws makes me think of Zune HD

Zune HD was a nice piece of industrial design FWIW.

 

[SimleuqiR]

looks kinda awkward

This entire announcement is awkward.

 

[NomarTyme]

Two words.... HOW MUCH?

 

[Jayayess1190]

It's pretty.

 

[Striek]

Stand is amazing.

 

[Monty Mole]

Love that built-in stand. Surprised Apple didn't get there first on that one.

 

[eosos]

I like the kickstand.

 

[JLG-]

Kickstand!

 

[liger05]

I like the kickstand

 

[owlbeak]

Gorilla Glass 2.

 

[Backfoggen]

Why are they bragging about USB 2.0.

 

[criesofthepast]

My $10 bicycle has a kickstand. Big whoop. No sale.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

"Today, you always have to hold your tablet, but you can add cases or accessories... we think a stand should be integral. So we built one in."

 

[LiK]

Love that built-in stand. Surprised Apple didn't get there first on that one.

added bulk

 

[NullPointer]

Give me Visual Studio and a good battery life and I'm in.

 

[fluffydelusions]

gorilla glass..nice

 

[Gary Whitta]

Guys.

Silverlight required.

 

[killer rin]

How has this not been done before? Its getting closer to an instant purchase for me

 

[radioheadrule83]

Retard on CNET is saying she can't imagine putting it in her purse... well duh and or hello

 

[xbhaskarx]

So I use this to operate my 360?

This is the controller for XboxU

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Stand is amazing.

That's a big stand, don't you think?

 

[Shiloa]

So...if I plug a mouse and keyboard in, would it basically instantly turn into a PC?

That's kinda neat actually if it does.

 

[Maxim726X]

Two words.... HOW MUCH?

Better be cheap if it wants to sell any at all...

 

[Brinbe]

that shit, kicked out, looks unappealing...

 

[SUPREME1]

Not even USB 3.0...

iPad has what gen of USB again?

 

[brotkasten]

Everything they announced so far is pretty generic for a tablet. A true Microsoft hardware product.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Demo unit crashed.

ROFLMAO!

Classic Microsoft.

 

[Zebra]

looks kinda awkward

Looks fine to me.

 

[VALIS]

Yeah guys, USB 2.0 is such bullshit. I much prefer the iPad's USB 0.0.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Gorilla Glass. Very nice.

 

[Seguin]

Meh. It looks cool but what a disappointment. Don't really get the love for tablets, I would much rather use my laptop over one.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

CNet chick saying it doesn't seem purse friendly. lol

 

[Stat Flow]

Edit: Spoke too soon.

Microsoft SWAG

 

[AkuMifune]

I think I like it.
