Built in stand, multi-touch keyboard cover , Office... this is pretty sweet but it's Microsoft not Apple so haters gonna hate.

Higher end model has usb 3.0 it seems, all that bitching for nothing

.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

USB 3.0 for the Pro model. Done bitching now?

Pro is the only one I will consider.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Wow. I'm impressed.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Okay I am starting to like this more.

 

[StudioTan]

This is pretty sweet.

 

[StopMakingSense]

What the hell is Windows RT?

Windows for ARM

 

[Phonomezer]

2 SKUs?

lol

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

keyboard is damn slick.

 

[Chittagong]

note new Microsoft logo on box and on the website

 

[Talon]

Wait. where did they say stylus support?

The spec sheet mentions a pen.

note new Microsoft logo on box and on the website

It's the Windows logo that they released to great...aplomb a few months ago.

 

[MCD]

The tone changed here pretty fucking fast.

 

[Beowulf28]

Color me interested...

 

[Brinbe]

Probably worth it for fully capable FM2013 on the go alone.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

I fail to see how this is much different from the transformers. also, way too fucking many parts and pieces

 

[Cloudy]

Pricing and battery life will make or break this thing. I'm in though

 

[killer rin]

Please be available before september. Please be available before september. Please be available before september. I want this as my college laptop/tablet/notepad

 

[brotkasten]

It's interesting. That's why Microsoft patented their own version of MagSafe.

Spec sheet for both

8 Pro Touch Cover, Type Cover, Pen with Palm Block

 

[Complex Shadow]

What the hell is Windows RT?

windows metro only.

 

[jj984jj]

Does the Pro have Office?

 

[diffusionx]

Does the Windows 8 one have a fan?

 

[JABEE]

The new champion has arrived.

 

[D23]

not gonna lie i actually want this more than ipad!

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I'm impressed and I was a hater of Microsoft's phone efforts. Wow.

 

[dream]

Unless this is phenomenally expensive, I think Microsoft just killed Android tablets.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Two different operating systems seems weird to me. Why make it even harder for app developers when MSFT is already weak in that area.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Ivy Bridge Core i5 inside that tablet. HNNNNGGGGGGGG!

 

[Kibbles]

TAKE MY MONEY, TAKE IT NOW.

 

[Megasoum]

Lol one of the "Event Highlight" on The Verge is "Microsoft announces Netflix for Windows 8"...come on, give me a fucking break hhaha.

 

[FStop7]

Running Windows 8 Pro?

Did Microsoft just win tablets?

 

[Lucis]

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

Diablo 3 will be able to run on it, whether natively or not... that's to be seen.

 

[TedNindo]

Can I play Diablo on this?

Without a doubt

 

[Cjdamon042]

I'm really liking the built-in stand, and having the cover act as a keyboard too? That's pretty cool.

 

[SyNapSe]

keyboard cover is seriously nice looking. It's also something that could be knocked off pretty easy by manufacturers.

 

[Maxim726X]

Need dat price...

If it's competitively priced it's got a shot at being a contender.

 

[NYR]

iPad 1 thread annoucement still had more cynicism, guys. Pick it up...

 

[planar1280]

motherfuck! im buying this

Core i5 Ivy Bridge processor in the W8 Surface

 

[GuessWho]

I5 processor? oh lord

 

[golem]

I like it.. but fear what the intel version's pricing will be.

 

[giga]

If it's 1920x1080 (going by Full HD on the spec sheet), the ppi would be 207.

 

[fluffydelusions]

"Uses less power than today's Core i5 chips. 3rd generation."

 

[SteveWinwood]

PRICE

 

[Deleted member 22576]

This is surprisingly compelling.
The industrial design is really speaking to me right now.

 

[kharma45]

Full HD display, loads of memory and x86 option

http://www.microsoft.com/global/surface/en/us/renderingassets/surfacespecsheet.pdf

Sold.

 

[Nakazato]

$500-800

 

[NervousXtian]

Damn, I'm impressed. I want one now!

 

[DanteFox]

If this were Apple announcing it people would be pooping bricks.

 

[Amagon]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

 

[Agent X]

This actually sounds rather tempting. I wonder what the prices will be?

 

[squicken]

This is actually pretty cool stuff.
