This is going to really mess up android market share sheesh.

They will take the biggest hit from this.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Why can't I buy one yet? :|

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

I want one of these but I just really don't want the windows 8 experience. also I think they're trying to be too broad with their approach with this device

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Ew, why wear a white t-shirt under the nice blue v-neck? ;P

Spoiler

Give me that tablet.

Hairy chest... but then you shouldn't buy V-necks at all.

 

[Megasoum]

The cover has an accelerometer haha

 

[brotkasten]

I want a PRICE, ffs.

 

[TCRS]

 

[LordAlu]

5:20pm = $520.00

Other groups at the event got 5:30 and 5:40 pm cards...

 

[clav]

LMFAO. is that dude ever happy?

Brotkasten is Paul incognito.

 

[DSN2K]

Diablo III on a tablet....we need full specs for the Pro version

 

[Ghost]

How did they innovate? Hybrids is what Win 8 has been all about for some time now. That was the future of PCs. Microsoft just did great execution on that concept and is pushing that in the forefront as their message of how other people should be doing it too. People, including me, have been saying this for the last year.

3mm cover that's also a multitouch keyboard with a trackpad, that's an innovation surely? That's an apple level idea.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

I don't understand, it is called surface but they have to show us how many damn layers every part of it has. haha Seems so odd.

 

[VALIS]

$399 or GTFO.

For the lowest end model, sure, for the highest end I bet $700-$900. And I'd buy one day fucking one. This is the device I've been waiting for.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

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

Google doesn't announce Android tablets.

 

[Holy Wars]

FUCKKKK

Touch cover has an accelerometer built in, so it knows when its folded back and it will deactivate the keyboard.

Slick

 

[Deepo]

Setting the disappointment bar high enough so its a megaton?

I expect the pricing to be $499-799.

Haha, yeah, that too. But I bet they are going up against the MacBook Air with this, and that starts at 999$

 

[Air]

Really like what I see here.

 

[SpectreFire]

Just look at how premium they make the device sound.. first time materials, premium build, premium finishing, innovation etc. An ultrabook with the se specs is around 1100 dollars, this is a tablet so definantly more than that.

Doesn't matter how premium it sounds, at that price point, why even bother selling it? No on will buy it.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

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

If they can make the tablet that thin and not overheat like Xbox did, then yes ill be very curious too. But i have a feeling they will price this exactly like Apple ipads which would be a huge mistake.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

This is going to really mess up android market share sheesh.

They will take the biggest hit from this.

Yeah, android is looking pretty fucked.

 

[Striek]

You people and these prices lol, they're definitely going to be in-line with an iPad, at least the RT.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Good point.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

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

Then Google announces Chrome OS.

 

[Xun]

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

Hopefully, since they're all shit so far.

Microsoft won't be able to topple Apple with this though, but it does look cool.

Speaking of Apple I'm glad a (probably similar) stylus is rumoured, since that'll be great for art.

Diablo III on a tablet....we need full specs for the Pro version

[derFeef]

Must I remind everyone how 'reliable' Xbox 360 was? I'd not touch this tablet unless reports after a few months indicate that it's not going to crap on me after a few uses.

Must I remind you that they have learned their lesson?

 

[Ken Masters]

RIP andriod tablets, this won't make s dent in iPad sales

 

[Duderz]

So, are we looking at a portable Cintiq here?

If so, I'm in.

 

[Mudkips]

As a tablet experience or a desktop experience? Because those are two different things.

With Windows 8 you get both.

 

[Maxim726X]

A device this sexy will finally get some damned app support...

Wow. Gotta make this competitively priced now.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Pro is going to be 27000 dollars.

 

[neojubei]

Looks good but already have the ipad and bought many ipad apps. I don't see anything here that would totally sway me. Makes me think what Google will plan to show with their own branded tablet.

 

[Kaworu]

I hope the Intel version has Wi-Di.

I'm hoping the same, in fact if they do include Wi-Di Surface is an instant buy and looks like a comfortable solution to every situation where I use a PC.

 

[MercuryLS]

I'm actually considering selling my iPad and replacing my MacBook with this. Never thought that would happen.

Does this thing have 4G?

 

[Monty Mole]

The iPad now looks like an oversized phone.

I'm not sure that's anything new.

 

[pj]

talk more about how precise everything is

grams and millimeters and such

 

[Holy Wars]

"This keyboard measures touch faster than any keyboard you can use today."

[Nakazato]

Google doesn't announce Android tablets.

Google is rumored to be announcing a Nexus Tablet next week at IO

 

[NomarTyme]

This is going to really mess up android market share sheesh.

They will take the biggest hit from this.

Not really. Nexus Tablet is gonna be huge.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You people and these prices lol, they're definitely going to be in-line with an iPad.

For the low end version, maybe. The Pro will be more in line with a MacBook Air. These things are aiming directly at the Android/Netbook market. I don't think they'll have an affect on iPad's dominance.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Waiting for price. If it's good I'm in like flynn.

 

[Slayer-33]

"So here we have Diablo 3 guys"


Floor collapses

 

[Clydefrog]

Pro is going to be 27000 dollars.

I'll take 4!

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

shhhh don't bring reality into this thread. this train ain't stopping for no bad news

 

[Kraftwerk]

HERE WE GO!!!!

 

[andycapps]

My prediction: RT $599, Pro $999

 

[brochiller]

Pricing...

 

[RyougaSaotome]

So what's the battery life on this?

If they say like 5-6 hours, I'm out.

 

[VanWinkle]

UH OH here comes pricing
