Wow I'm pretty impressed with this product. Looks like they really thought this one out. If it has a retina like display I might be on board

 

[Kud Dukan]

USB 3.0 for the Pro model. Done bitching now?

 

[Thoraxes]

$599 cmooooon

 

[D23]

that keyboard is pretty dope!!!!!!!!1

 

[enzo_gt]

This.. this might be the first tablet in the world actually worth purchasing. Wow. Can't believe MS beat Apple to it even though Apple's been working toward merging OSs.

 

[criesofthepast]

So the pro version has USB 3.0

 

[Ninja Scooter]

keyboard in the cover is a nice touch. The kickstand causing people to freak out is LOL worthy. Phones and cases have had kickstands for years.

 

[valkillmore]

HOT

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Full Office and an integrated keyboard and stand are huge.

 

[OverHeat]

Usb 3.0 on win 8 pro version sold!

 

[Ravensmash]

k, this is actually looking like a fairly decent laptop replacement now

 

[artist]

Liking the specs, pricing will make or break this.

 

[Slayer-33]

OH MY GOD IT'S FUCKING GORGEOUS

 

[Divvy]

Hmm RT or Pro. Great to see them actually offering choice here.

 

[VanWinkle]

Pro version with full version of Windows 8, crazy.

 

[Rengoku]

If they show Diablo 3 running on this, they're gona kill it

 

[Lucis]

Any other insight on it that they won't spill now?

I can't say anything that they haven't said yet...
but since this is out the door, I can say the tablet works really well

 

[Heretic]

BOTH LEGS ARE ON THE HAPPY TRAIN!!!

[TouchMyBox]

[CoilShot]

This is not USB 3.0? really?

[Chittagong]

Built-in stand: GAMECHANGER.

the moment I saw the keyboard I figured this thread will do a 180

 

[Complex Shadow]

"Less than 2 lbs, less than 14mm — but it's a full PC."


YOU WILL BE MINE.

 

[planar1280]

4:33:04 PM PDT
"Less than 2 lbs, less than 14mm — but it's a full PC."

 

[snacknuts]

Holy shit. I didn't think it was possible, but I actually want a tablet now.

 

[TheOrangeKid007]

They need to connect up a mouse to that USB and play UT99...

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Ok, the keyboard cover thing is pretty sweet.

 

[Glorified G]

What the hell is Windows RT?

 

[acksman]

If this is as integrated as I think its about to get, SOLD and I'm my 3rd iPad.

 

[Monty Mole]

I love apple, but this thing totally looks like it will better then an iPad.

Thing is, it really actually does. It's innovative - not something I was expecting from MS today.

Could two Surfaces only serve to confuse the market, or capture all markets?

 

[Zebra]

OH, SO THATS WAI YOU NAMED IT SURFACE

This is so sexy looking. They learned well from the Zune HD. I was hoping it would have similar design elements.

 

[zethren]

The evolution of the laptop. Bam.

 

[Coin Return]

This looks really awesome. Consider me interested!

 

[numble]

apple lawyers already hard at work figuring out what patents they can say this will break

Microsoft and Apple have a patent cross-licensing agreement.

 

[iammeiam]

Prices, please...

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Whoah, pro has proper windows.

 

[Tapiozona]

Is there streaming video of this?

 

[NomarTyme]

Seriously... how much?

 

[GuessWho]

I WANT THIS SO MUCH

 

[SteveWinwood]

This is pretty cool actually...

 

[Divvy]

USB 3.0 on the pro version. And support for a stylus?! Oh ma god.

Wait. where did they say stylus support?

 

[sikkinixx]

Pro model sounds much better. Full laptop experience? Berry nice.
