Support NeoGAF

[brochiller]

I can't believe Microsoft's claim that this was a big announcement was actually legit.

 

[maximum360]

So... how soon until Logitech makes that for iPad/Android?

8 AM tomorrow.

 

[outunderthestars]

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

To be fair, Microsoft has never shown us a product this well conceived and constructed before. This shows some real innovation from a company who isn't known for it.

 

[LiK]

no pricing? WTF

 

[Timbuktu]

No price? When is this coming out? Apple will have another iPad out in 8 months or so.

 

[Striek]

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

Its the cover (accessory?).

 

[PhatSaqs]

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

The keyboard is the cover.

 

[Emitan]

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

and no one would buy it

 

[Goreomedy]

lol, this guy is selling the shit out of the Surface.

 

[DR3AM]

whats windows RT?

 

[Complex Shadow]

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

cover = keyboard.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Depending on the price... Android tablets are pretty much done with the release of this, right?

 

[Buddha Beam]

If nothing else, I hope this forces Apple to finally add stylus support to the next iPad.

This thing does look nice though. Might just be the first tablet that can actually challenge the iPad.

 

[derFeef]

allright, this was worth it, job well done MS.
No price is disappointing though.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Oh shit it makes pancakes now

BEST FUCKING DEVICE EVER

lol

 

[dream]

I wonder if this guy has a British accent.

Depending on the price... Android tablets are pretty much done with the release of this, right?

Yep.

 

[Dalauz]

whats windows RT?

trialware for students

 

[SpectreFire]

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

So you expect them to sell zero units of it?

 

[zethren]

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

Its a magnetically attached (detachable) screen cover that is ALSO a touch sensitive keyboard with trackpad.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Integrated kickstands are never cool

 

[Canuck76]

MS is up in this.

Wrecking everybody so hard

 

[clav]

whats windows RT?

Windows on ARM chips as opposed to AMD/Intel CPUs.

 

[JABEE]

no pricing? WTF

The conference isn't over.

 

[Brannon]

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

You can and you shall!

 

[planar1280]

Touch Cover turns blue to let you know it's connected....... :000000000

 

[Deepo]

Has to be more than 1000$

 

[outunderthestars]

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

Oh come on now. It's not going to be that bad.

 

[acksman]

I think they learned from Sony to not let the price be the focus today.

 

[Monty Mole]

This is making me more excited and intrigued about what they might have in store for the next Xbox.

 

[Glorified G]

$399 or GTFO.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[antiquegamer]

Well, they are cheaper, but I've heard they improved their drivers.

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

Yup.

Good may be they will innovate for a change instead of putting out shitty cheap products.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

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

That would be product suicide.

 

[Ultimatum]

Absolutely love this. If the price isn't insane it'll be day one.

 

[Thoraxes]

Depending on the price... Android tablets are pretty much done with the release of this, right?

Anthropomorphic Tablets are the new Tablets.

 

[The Elite]

Depending on the price... Android tablets are pretty much done with the release of this, right?

I think this is the first bit of real competition for Apple I've seen.

 

[Steverulez]

Im expecting them to show me some sort of games related integration (Xbox branded not 360 style) perhaps I'm being a bit hopeful?

 

[Choc]

Like the Xbox MS could take a loss @ retail on the hardware and make it up with sales in the marketplace

Could be their plan

 

[f0rk]

No price? When is this coming out? Apple will have another iPad out in 8 months or so.

There is no way Apple can turn iOS into something that competes with Windows 8 in that time. The iPad now looks like an oversized phone.

 

[SentientStone]

Looking nice, MS has really upped the ante when it comes to using design language to shape their company's image and philosophy.

 

[tokkun]

and no one would buy it

People do buy ultrabooks at those prices.

 

[Majine]

Lumia 900 the tablet-computer?

 

[Technosteve]

WHERE IS YOUR PANTS YOUNG LADY!!

damn

 

[Anticitizen One]

I'm shocked there are people in here who are actually gonna buy this crap but whatever floats your boar I guess.

 

[nVidiot_Whore]

Looks cool.

I don't get the reaction though.. I swear that last thread was basically "this better be really surprising."

What.. was surprising?

MS branded tablet hardware? Wasn't that pretty much.. a given?

Other than that.. aren't they just showing off what we already know about Windows 8/RT?

PLEASE fill me in if I'm wrong.. other than that keyboard case thing.. I don't see anything that wasn't pretty much expected from MS?

 

[Darth Pinche]

To be fair, Microsoft has never shown us a product this well conceived and constructed before. This shows some real innovation from a company who isn't known for it.

Well they've already had one Surface die today.

 

[btkadams]

it's a really nice design. it's not enough to tempt me, but they have done a good job.

 

[mysticwhip]

 

[golem]

Man if Google announces just another android tablet next week it will be shameful after this
