Pro model is "FullHD", so must be 1920x1080.

 

[MThanded]

WHERE IS YOUR PANTS YOUNG LADY!!

What is going on here lol

 

[scorcho]

we'll be letdown in price. i expect that pro version to be somewhere around $800 at minimum if they're comparing it favorably to ultrabooks.

the lesser lesser Surface devices will probably be in lock-step with the iPad's pricing.

 

[D4Danger]

looks expensive

 

[Derrick01]

MS just redeemed themselves from their shitty E3 this year.

Let's not go crazy here. Their gaming division is still shit.

 

[Cousteau]

Greg Louganis should come out and break the Surface.

 

[coldfoot]

have they stated a resolution for the screen?

HD for RT (most likely 1366x768) and 1920x1080 for the pro...

 

[LQX]

The only worry is I don't think that case, though fucking cool, will provide much protection if that thing falls.

 

[Vamphuntr]

The 180 that happened in this thread is hilarious.

 

[Satchel]

Surface will replace my iPad 2.

This thing is amazing.

 

[DopeyFish]

People... The keyboard has a trackpad

 

[NullPointer]

Give me an honest to god no bullshit 8 hour+ battery life and I'm day one.

 

[Jacobi]

Wow they're innovating like you'd expect Apple to (which they haven't)

 

[Biggzy]

I don't really understand the point of the RT model. Why even bother with it? The Pro version is the real hotness.

Unless the RT model is REALLY cheap.

Better battery life as well.

 

[timetokill]

1. Price
2. Batter Life

Only two questions that need to be answered...

Oh shit it makes pancakes now

BEST FUCKING DEVICE EVER

 

[The Boat]

Gotta say, that looks pretty hot!

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Don't want to sell my iPad 3 just yet...

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

affordable pricing would drive a nail in the heart of the ipad.

JUST TAKE MY MONEY

 

[Divvy]

No pricing today.

 

[victreeb3l]

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

all depends on the price. i know very tech sazzy people will eat this up but the price has to be right for it to appeal to the mass market.

regardless, im excited as fuck. still hate the stupid logo but looks like an excellent device

 

[eastmen]

Honestly, the x86 tablet is gonna need reskinned apps... Lightroom for example, is gonna be unusable with that UI unless you plug a mouse there.

But you can plug a mouse in. Thats the beauty of having a usb port.


Yes they will need to reskin but that will happen anway.


I hope this had a dedicated gpu even if its a low end one

 

[x-Lundz-x]

I think they're going to surprise a lot of people with the price.

It's not going to be cheap, they will price this in line with the iPad.

 

[dream]

Google's Nexus tablet announcement is going to be so funny now...

 

[Biff]

What the fuck is that logo 'thing' on the back? Looks awful.

No it doesn't, go back to your shame corner.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

What is going on here lol

Looks like something from Flying High. She's about to get her boobs out.

 

[abstract alien]

I'm sold

 

[NYR]

The 180 that happened in this thread is hilarious.

Yep. Hilarious. GAF in a nutshell, so fucking cynical.

 

[Canuck76]

This sounds like exactly what I wanted from a tablet, and have been waiting for before jumping in. A true physical keyboard, true USB support, true Windows OS... yes please.

I purchased a Zune and have always been happy with it, I don't see any reason why I won't be there day one for one of these.

Yes! I love my Zune HD!

 

[fluffydelusions]

Where those people that were gonna eat their poo earlier?

 

[Nakazato]

No price Smh

according to cnet

 

[MThanded]

Whats the price/battery/actual processor?

 

[Salsa]

WHERE IS YOUR PANTS YOUNG LADY!!

god damn

is there anything this event doesnt have?

 

[Talon]

The cheaper ultrabooks are in the $900s, and they have far inferior screens (1366x768). I'd be shocked if the Pros can dip around that price.

Seems like a RIM playbook, with an included keyboard... not seeing anything "special" yet?

lol

 

[Totakeke]

The "real" innovation here is a Microsoft backed hardware that doesn't suck, designed smartly, on the right timing, and "might" have real mass market appeal.

 

[Gareth Bale]

No pricing? Fuck

 

[Volimar]

Oh shit it makes pancakes now

BEST FUCKING DEVICE EVER

Waffles for the pro!

 

[Tuck]

The 180 that happened in this thread is hilarious.

Wait till they announce the price. We may see another one.

 

[Striek]

The 180 that happened in this thread is hilarious.

Shows that people respond to what they're given appropriately. Not a bad thing.

 

[massoluk]

Wow, now I regretted having bought Transformer Prime. If someone told me last year MS is coming out with this, I would so wait. If it's less than $1K that is.

 

[NullPointer]

5:20pm

 

[funkystudent]

Priced to complete with other ARM tablets and ultrabooks.

so 399 for RT and 799+ for pro?

 

[Gowans]

I love my iPad3 but man this does look cool as could be a nice change. Nah I can't...

 

[neojubei]

fuck yea. GIMME!!!

Looking at it, it isn't winning me over. is that keyboard attached to it?

 

[hwalker84]

I think they're going to surprise a lot of people with the price.

CNET Liveblog said they aren't going to announce the price until closer to release date.

 

[zethren]

Just tell us the price so I can start saving my pennies in my jar!

 

[joeposh]

Glad to see a lot of the design DNA from the Zune HD propagating over to the Surface. Such a beautiful and well built device.

 

[Josh7289]

Yep. Hilarious. GAF in a nutshell, so fucking cynical.

Angry Nerds.

heh, heh, heh.

 

[GDGF]

I do believe that this is going to be my next tablet.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

I expect this basic to be 1200 and the pro 1600 dollars.
