can't wait to get one of those keyboard covers for my ipad

But Apple innovates, not copies.


Lol

 

[fastford58]

My moneys. Take them.

 

[Levyne]

i doubt this will be an ipad killer but it will most likely decimate any upcoming android tablets

Yeah. Ipad has the market cornered but this will be a sizable number 2 I think

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

$499 and $699! (SPECULATIVE)

I'd say:

Windows RT: $449 for 32GB. $549 for 64GB.
Windows 8 Pro: $649 for 64GB and $749 for 128GB.

 

[LiK]

WTF IS THE PRICE

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I have to say at least MS went all out, I still question if all of these features are things the mass market gives a shit about.

 

[The Elite]

I'm glad they dumped the courier and went back to the drawing board. This is smart.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Oh man. If this pen is pressure sensitive im all over it. My Fujitsu/wacom tablet JUST blew up in time for this conference!

This is fantastic. I expected disaster, but it's really fucking good!

 

[kehs]

Need the price bomb for hilarities sake.

 

[JABEE]

I'm confused, everything I was brought up to believe is being challenged.

Seriously, Microsoft is crushing expectations here.

Ballmer is now your new father.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Fuck I am going to have to buy one. Please don't be a nutty price.

Gary eating crow? Plus, you should be used to nutty prices =)

 

[zethren]

This seems more like a laptop. I'm not sure what the point is versus a new slim notebook.

'Cus you can use it as a tablet as well. You don't need to use the keyboard cover at all times. Options.

 

[Gowans]

Fuck I am going to have to buy one. Please don't be a nutty price.

MS has to take that as a massive success. Arg Tested Podcast is not n this week right?!?!?

 

[Talon]

The iPad is too big to kill at this point. Competition is good, especially in a rapidly booming market.

What world am I living in where MICROSOFT beats Google to the punch with a halo-device in the table space?

 

[hwalker84]

With so many features in the Pro version the price is going to have to be expensive.

 

[planar1280]

Verge said it was a "simplified interface..."

thats simplified? don't think so

 

[Slayer-33]

This seems more like a laptop. I'm not sure what the point is versus a new slim notebook.

Perfect tablet/netbook hybrid? (Desktop type of power?)

 

[Seguin]

WTF IS THE PRICE

$100/ month contract for 2 years :3

 

[Frost_Ace]

HAWT.

 

[DanteFox]

They're really going for the gusto here. There's no way I can afford one of these beauties....

 

[Jayayess1190]

So many Win 8 tablets, I want them all. RT tabs not included.

 

[Brinbe]

Shit, the pro is exactly what I've been waiting for... goddamn, MS

 

[MIMIC]

My God this thread is moving quickly

 

[Nevasleep]

It almost competes with the MacBook Air and the iPad at the same time. Probably should expect price to reflect that.

This. The Pro won't be cheap, which is the version people want.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Don't dig the display ratio, but I really dig the keyboard cover. Wouldn't make me sell my iPad, but it'd make me reconsider an android tablet, for sure.

 

[BolognaSoup]

Imagine if they do a one more thing and announce some type of Xbox compatibility.

 

[f0rk]

I'd say:

Windows RT: $449 for 32GB. $549 for 64GB.
Windows 8 Pro: $649 for 64GB and $749 for 128GB.

A few hundred off on the Pro I think.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I'd say:

Windows RT: $449 for 32GB. $549 for 64GB.
Windows 8 Pro: $649 for 64GB and $749 for 128GB.

I hope. I'd be all over it day fucking one. I bet those pros will be higher, though.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

It's a full version of Windows, so yeah, it can work.

sold

 

[blackflag]

damn this is dope.

 

[JaggedSac]

Verge said it was a "simplified interface..."

As a constant user of LightRoom, no it wasn't.

 

[The Elite]

Shit, the pro is exactly what I've been waiting for... goddamn, MS

I bought an iPad 3 earlier this year and now regret it.

 

[D4Danger]

"Do you hear that? It's the sound of a lot of angry Microsoft hardware partners."

fuck 'em

 

[Timbuktu]

thats simplified? don't think so

How would you usemthat on such a small screen though.

 

[Centurion]

$1200 for pro $699 for basic

Im calling it here

 

[chubigans]

This is the future of laptops, seriously. Absolutely amazin. I have no need for it between my PC and Macbook Air, and I still want one.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Well that would explain the delay the past few months about any announcement about the iPad version of Office.

My daughter can keep the iPad, this seems like a far better work/play device as long as the price isn't nuts.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I hope the pro is somehow cheap

 

[derFeef]

Do you hear that? It's the sound of a lot of angry Microsoft hardware partners.

Lol Verge. must feel bad to not have to report negative things.

 

[tino]

799 for the intel version, I am calling it now.

And 499 for the Qualcomm version.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Microsoft is about to show off the new hardware the will help them

LEAP!


over the competition. Suck his dust, Apple!

The most impressive thing is he made 400 grand while he was in the air.

 

[liger05]

Can't even believe they delivered so hard.

Thats what she said.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

This shit is going to be 800 minimum.

 

[giga]

I'll say $400 for the RT version and $600-700 for Pro.

 

[brochiller]

This has been the funniest 180 that gaf impressions have pulled.

The 180 happened exactly at the time they announced the keyboard cover.

 

[sikkinixx]

thats simplified? don't think so

"Lightroom is up — somewhat simplified interface to these eyes." is what Verge said

 

[Amagon]

Zune > iPod.

Next!

Fuck yeah!

 

[def sim]

windows 8 suuuuucks on a desktop but they're convincing me this is how it'll all work


ugh

 

[Vire]

Perfect tablet/netbook hybrid? (Desktop type of power?)

*Shrug, I guess it's not for me.

 

[gaming_noob]

Day 1 for me. First MS product day 1 buy...this feels strange.
