"That was a moment for our team for sure. Now let me talk about availability and pricing."


hold on to your pants folks.
 
Looks like you need a proper table to use the keyboard? It needs the kick stand right? So you can't use this like a laptop i.e on your lap?
 
Surface for WIndows RT coming in 32GB and 64GB models. Priced "like comparable tablets based on ARM."

Pro coming in 64GB and 128GB models, will be priced on par with Ultrabook-class PCs.

Availability will dovetail with the Windows 8 launch. That's for RT. Pro doesn't come until about three months later.
 
Pricing will be lower than the competition. That's how Microsoft handles new markets or ones they're losing market share to. They'll sell at a loss. Depending on how receptive people are about it, it could slash Apple's profit margins.
 
With Windows 8 you get both.
One is a tablet operating system that has proved to be hugely successful.

One is a product that has yet to launch that is attempting to merge two different experiences.

You can think that a merged experience (semi-merged) can be the best, but it's certainly not proven in any way.
 
Why can't they make their E3 keynotes this fucking awesome? Screw Usher and Skittles, just make a great presentation with sweet new products and that's all you need. I'm getting super hyped for the next Xbox announcement now.
 
This looks too good to be true...
I want to know what type of GPU it has.
Also the price.

I have never ever bought a tablet and/or laptop,
but if the price of this is good, I'm in.
 
I gotta say, Microsoft blew away every expectation I had. This thing is awesome and if they price it right, it's definitely going to disrupt the market. Google really blew a huge chance to stake out ground and this thing is 10x more interesting than any Android tablet that's been announced.
