People would be jizzing their pants for this stuff...if it were an Apple conference. LOL. Love it. Actually looks like a nice tablet so far. Wonder what the price is going to be? looks like the first laptop replacement tablet.

 

[MIMIC]

What is a "surface" tablet?

EDIT: Or is that just the name of Microsoft's new tablet?

 

[Anticitizen One]

Hahahaha a magnetic cover lmao. Is this really happening right now

 

[Cheech]

1. What in the hell is with the huge hole in the back of the thing? How hot is this going to run, exactly?

2. Wow. Netflix. Way to push the envelope, guys.

Jesus.

 

[Randdalf]

A keyboard! Will this come with it? If so, I'm in. If the pricepoint is low enough, that is.

Edit: multi-touch fml

 

[Burger]

Fuck me, talking about the cover already... Jesus.


... oh wait...

 

[Rur0ni]

Hmm looking like Day 1.

 

[AlexMogil]

It's 2.0? HAHAHAHHA!

If only there is some faster, invisible way to sync data. Let's think about that.

 

[aaaaa0]

Why are they bragging about USB 2.0.

Because iPad has USB 0.0. As in none.

 

[MThanded]

get teh lawyers.

Teh keyboard is in teh cover? what?

 

[scorcho]

okay, that cover is kick ass.

If only there is some faster, invisible way to sync data. Let's think about that.

bingo - struggling to see what advantage USB3 offers on a device like this.

 

[Zombie James]

The cover is a keyboard? That's interesting, at least.

 

[brochiller]

The cover is a keyboard.

Damn.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

"We said, why not do something with this surface? We made it a full multitouch keyboard." Whoa, people are hooting.

[JABEE]

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

This is my favorite part of press conference threads.

 

[fluffydelusions]

iPad has what gen of USB again?

gen 0

 

[alphaNoid]

Looks good to me

 

[owlbeak]

Whoa, magnetic cover that's a touch sensitive keyboard as well? :O

[enzo_gt]

[SCHUEY F1]

Nice cover!!

 

[Glorified G]

OH, SO THATS WAI YOU NAMED IT SURFACE

 

[Tobor]

16x9. You failed, MS.

 

[MetatronM]

Well the kickstand and cover keyboard are nice touches.

If a bit hideous looking.

 

[victreeb3l]

[Kano on the Phone]

More like the Microsoft Sadface.

 

[JLG-]

Amazing.

 

[Centurion]

oh snap, pretty neat idea

 

[Curufinwe]

Microsoft must live in some fantasyland

The one where they make shitloads of money every year.

 

[greycolumbus]

I thought I was over the new logo but seeing it on a new machine makes it look uglier.

 

[eosos]

Oh shit. Keyboard cover?

 

[operon]

Keypad lid

 

[ElzarTheBam]

okay, that cover is kick ass.

Yes, yes it is.

 

[Slayer-33]

Because iPad has USB 0.0. As in none.

ICE BURN

 

[Vanille]

shit looks slick

 

[krypt0nian]

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

Ever since the iCloud, cables are so last decade.

Android tablets just got some new competition.

Wow, this is slick as hell.

 

[criesofthepast]

wow the cover is a keyboard? I love that. Impressive.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

what the fuck.

 

[GuessWho]

ok now it's day one

 

[Phonomezer]

Keyboard!

 

[mysticwhip]

 

[DJMicLuv]

Noone gives a shit about a MS tablet. This thing is going to bomb just like Windows 8. I guess I can't blame them for trying, but seriously noone was wanting this.

Leave Peter Noone out of this.

 

[iammeiam]

Keyboard Cover is either brilliant or dumb as hell. I can't decide.

 

[Nobility]

I'm loving that keyboard idea.

 

[pargonta]

How is it not a PC?

well I think of a PC as a desktop or a laptop personal computer. this is a tablet, or, half a laptop.
but we'll see.

edit: wait... so it is a laptop? hmm
