Support NeoGAF

[Monty Mole]

Microsoft and Apple have a patent cross-licensing agreement*

*excludes integral stand patent

EDIT: Digital ink too

 

[kagete]

The spec sheet mentions a pen.

If this has any form of digitizer with pressure levels I will eat my crow and bend over, regardless of price.

 

[eosos]

Wait. where did they say stylus support?

Pen and Palm block by productivity. I think that means stylus.
edit: confirmed.

 

[Canuck76]

keyboard is damn slick.

Apple did it two years-

oh looks like fanboys can't hate on that

 

[Clydefrog]

what about the battery life?

 

[criesofthepast]

Looks like a godsend for students. Now how about that price...

 

[sikkinixx]

Though the pro is almost the same thickness as Macbook Air... hmmm... pricing needed

 

[Curufinwe]

The shift in this thread has been awesome, lol.

 

[Pie Lord]

If these devices launch at a reasonable price and have a good battery life, I'm there day one.

 

[Divvy]

The spec sheet mentions a pen.

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

Thanks.

please let it be wacom
please let it be wacom
please let it be wacom

 

[TKR92]

I'm so buying this.

 

[JustProgress]

This will own the business sector. At least the companies that don't use iPads yet.

 

[Dr. Malik]

The tone changed here pretty fucking fast.

NOT ENOUGH ADS!

 

[ksan]

oh wow, this is actually quite impressive...

Now it all comes down to battery life!

 

[f0lken]

OMG they are actually living to the hype

 

[Striek]

Digital ink, gaffer validated.

Edit: Wait nvm that was e-ink, this is just on the normal screen lol.
Or not.

 

[rikichi]

digital ink???

[Volimar]

I'm actually kind of impressed. Show it running some popular stuff...

 

[Maiar_m]

the Intel thing will cost an arm and a liver.

 

[DopeyFish]

STYLUS

 

[eastmen]

And this is a megaton .

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

This looks pretty sweet to me.

 

[Slayer-33]

Ivy Bridge Core i5 inside that tablet. HNNNNGGGGGGGG!

GET THE FUCK OUT STOP ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

 

[outunderthestars]

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



.

I'm an Apple fan but love this concept. They did exactly what they needed to do: create a product that is as far away from an ipad as possible, while still being a tablet....

 

[Timbuktu]

The keyboard cover is nice, I want one for my ipad

A third party will do it at some point.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Damn, this is getting more and more amazing. Seems like Courier reborn.

 

[MThanded]

[Uno Venova]

The shift in this thread has been awesome, lol.

All I have to say here, lol.

 

[Zeth]

cover keyboard could be cool for iPad

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Damn. I want. I bet those pro versions are going to be fuck expensive, especially the 128 gig.

 

[Centurion]

[e_i]

Digital ink support. NICE.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Digital Ink? Microsoft wins.

 

[victreeb3l]

[RSLAEV]

Pen input eh? If I could draw on it like a wacom then +1 sale

 

[Paznos]

The cover is a keyboard as well?? wow

 

[PhatSaqs]

In before price bombs lol.

 

[Stat Flow]

uh holy fuck.

The pro version makes me think I could sell my 3rd gen iPad.

Holy shit guys.

 

[NullPointer]

BATTERY LIFE

 

[BoboBrazil]

Keyboard cover is cool.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Holy crap this sounds great.

 

[Levyne]

This might finally be my first tablet

[Kusagari]

Digital Ink?

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Damn, I really want to read my Nook books on this baby!

 

[scorcho]

loving the complete design of the tablet and how it integrates with the cover and even Windows 8's UI.

it's a complete marriage i'm sure even Ives would want to have.
