[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;36389493]What's even funnier about the Surface tablets is that there were no leaks of anything regarding it, not even rumors that microsoft would be developing their own hardware[/QUOTE]

the leaks were out today, but nothing before today.

Amazing.

"Putting a kickstand in this product breaks seamless lines, but we needed to do it. We couldn't take chances. Take a look at these three hinges you see on the product. They are custom, and they were spec'd to feel and sound like a high end car door."

Don't the best of hinges make minimal noise?

The new Windows logo is growing on me. It looks nice on the back of the tablet.

[QUOTE=farmatyr;36389469]It's something I imagine breaking fairly quickly.[/QUOTE]

It seems like they've put a lot of thought into it, I was wondering about that too but it seems like they've got the whole kickstand thing on their minds

You know what would be cool? If you could hook it up to an Xbox and play games.

[quacles]

This is starting to sound really expensive.

I don't know, if you use the ipad one it feels sturdy, but not in the way. If it was silent it might feel flimsy.

Also this tablet looks sexy as hell.

The screen turned blue!

"Nothing stirs me more than Touch Cover."

This is getting romantic.

"I love Touch Cover. Outside of my wife, it's number two."

:v:

[Scot]

That's actually a really nice touch with the colour change.

[QUOTE=Scot;36389528]The new Windows logo is growing on me. It looks nice on the back of the tablet.[/QUOTE] Same, I didn't think it'd look that good on the laptop it fits it better than the traditional windows logo

[QUOTE=quacles;36389575]This is starting to sound really expensive.[/QUOTE]

If Microsoft plans on selling this thing, it won't be. They'll lose a lot by pricing it higher than the iPad. Ideally, they price it lower than or equal to.

[VistaPOWA]

I don't think the pricetag will be below $500...

[redBadger]

3mm keyboard sounds really, really nice

[quacles]

"We force you to not miss." Uhhhh.

wtf is this guy on seriously

him and the surface need to get a room

[VistaPOWA]

I don't think the accessories will be cheap either. Minimum $30 for a single cover.

"let me just get my touch cover, gotta use protection'.

[flagdog]

everything so far about this tablet is fucking perfect. Now let's just wait for the pricetag.

[cwook]

"The Cover measures every gram of force coming off your fingers as you type."

Cool

[flagdog]

[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;36389641]I don't think the accessories will be cheap either. Minimum $30 for a single cover.[/QUOTE]

that's actually cheap in comparison to the ipad's smart cover

[VistaPOWA]

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

I am sorry, but this is just utter bullshit.

[Character]

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

ohshi

[flagdog]

here we go

[redBadger]

the crew at microsoft must be the most smug motherfuckers out there right now. They really hit a home run on this one.
