so he spent about half an hour talking about the laptops in the crowd and how tablets never replaced the laptop and so on. How exactly does this change things? the keyboard is still a flimsy cover so you still can't use it on your lap, right?

Do you actually get feedback when you hit the keys?

 

[RoKKeR]

This looks really good, wow. Give me a price MS!

Took them a few tries but it looks like they finally got it right.

I've used my surface 2 on my lap many times and this has a better kickstand.

 

[enzo_gt]

The new stand is making me cum

 

[D4Danger]

The problem was not with the the keyboard cover (the type cover is actually very good) but with the kickstand

what I mean is the weight of a normal laptop is in the base so you can bend the screen and sit with it on your lap. You can't do that with this thing unless they have some sort of heavy addon that you clip it in to, right? the kickstand only works if you put it on a table.

 

[AnkitT]

That kickstand looks awesome!

 

[infiniteloop]

After watching this presentation, definitely going to make a purchase!

Can't decide between the 11 inch and 13 inch MacBook Air.

 

[Blackhead]

There are two keyboard covers, the touch and the type. The type keyboard is actually decent (except the touchpad which was useless).

 

[Pooya]

the trackpad looks it might be usable finally.

No? works just fine here.

I'm super sure I don't like this guy.

[luxarific]

always thought these tablets were cool, love that size on the new one...but the price on their tablets have just been outrageous to me

I would like a tablet that could stream some steam games though ..ive seen some people do it

They're more ultrabooks than tablets - expecting them to be priced like tablets is unrealistic.

 

[Barzul]

This thing sounds super expensive. Hope it isn't as I want one.

 

[enzo_gt]

I'm super sure I don't like this guy.

I think its a very thin line between too srs and being super chill.

 

[Burger]

"The stability is unbelievable"

 

[Zeknurn]

Wow the new cover looks very interesting. I'm envious now.

 

[hwalker84]

Bite the bullet MS and include that damn type cover.

 

[D4Danger]

I guess this answers my question. It still seems awkward.

 

[Volimar]

He looks like he's about to dry hump it.

 

[mrklaw]

yes, cool hinge, neat magnet feature. But don't dwell quite so much - we get that your engineers worked really hard.

 

[enzo_gt]

"The stability is unbelievable"

>>doesn't type on it

 

[Spinluck]

The price is gonna hurt me. Which sucks, I want this so bad.

 

[a secret-boss]

Damn wat am i gonna do with my 1st gen pro

I wanna know the battery life though

 

[jelly]

The pauses for applause is cringe worthy.

Loving the hardware so far.

 

[JaggedSac]

$800 for an i3

 

[Dead Prince]

well fuck.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I just hate the amount of glitches my surface 2 + type cover has. So annoying. Can they fix that shit. These products aren't as well baked as they'd have you believe. Like I'm happy enough with it, but man.

 

[Chums Knifeblade]

I wonder how much I can sell my Surface Pro 1 for now. That fucking new kickstand is sexy

That would be great pricing if it came with the cover , but it wont. Super excited for this thing but damn is it expensive.

 

[vagabondarts]

This will be my next drawing tablet.

 

[Dead Prince]

is the automatic brightness issue going to be featured with the #SP3

 

[enzo_gt]

I want to buy this for the crossword app. Looks dope.

My stream keeps sputtering though.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Someone should make a new thread.

 

[Anton Sugar]

My stream keeps sputtering though.

Yeah, same.

 

[killer rin]

This is where he hates himself for not including a hidden cheat mode

 

[hwalker84]

Stream starting to fall apart.

 

[Totakeke]

Careful what you write because Apple fans are watching.


Stream works fine for me at full screen.

Wish it was cheaper.I'll wait to see what Apple comes with and make a decision on a tablet then.

 

[Complex Shadow]

looks super awkward to hold with one hand.

all the cover issues are probably because of the stupid unreliable magnet connector, they seem to have ditched it and now it snaps to the bezel with a much larger area. Don't think there will be any fix for first gen disconnecting and just randomly stop working :\

 

[Justin]

laughing at this script

 

[enzo_gt]

Is it just me or does the lag on the screen from the pen look much reduced? Damn near looks like a real pen.

Gat damn, may as well get a Lenovo Y50.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Wonder how much performance I'd lose on getting the i3 configuration...

 

[Nander]

Ha! There's still the same problem as in OneNote where your notes move if you change it from portrait to landscape.
