[jbpkickz]

looks more like a netbook killer than a ipad killer

 

[bamazing]

post the specs

 

[je ne sais quoi]

I watched that on my iPad, and if I had to guess, my iPad feels unthreatened.

 

[cruzair13]

still gonna have a virus.

 

[tero]

probably using windows 8

 

[htowntexan]

Apple products will never die because they are the fad..... Its "cool" to have an Apple Product.

 

[pr0phecy718]

I'm far from being an Apple fanboy but that video didn't really show how it would kill the ipad

...cool commercial

 

[miamib30514]

the irony is strong.

 

[stillin729]

 I'd be rich for every time I heard the phrase "iPhone/iPad killer"

 

[5am6oody72]

I really wish they would quit using dubstep in every $%!*#$* commercial.

 

[sooperhooper]

Microsoft is the Reebok of the tech world. I don't see how that is any type of killer anyway.

[h1]Microsoft announces Surface for Windows 8 Pro: Intel inside, optional pen input[/h1]
By Donald Melanson   posted Jun 18th 2012 7:43PM

Microsoft didn't just announce one Surface tablet today -- it's announced one for each of the main varieties of Windows. That includes the Surface for Windows 8 Pro, which is slightly larger and decidedly more Intel-based than its ARM-fueled counterpart for Windows RT. In addition to the more full-fledged OS, it packs a larger 42 W-h battery, an Ivy Bridge Core i5 processor (at least in the model on display today), USB 3.0 ports instead of 2.0, and your choice of 64GB or 128GB of storage (double the standard offerings of the RT Surface). You'll also get a higher 1080p resolution from the 10.6-inch ClearType display, but it comes wrapped in a package that's 13.5 mm thick and weighs 903 grams (compared to just 9.3 mm and 676 grams for the RT). That's apparently not big enough to disqualify it from Microsoft's new keyboard-laden covers, though, and it even gets another accessory of its own: a pen with a "Palm Block." As for pricing and availability, Microsoft is only going as far to say that it will be "on par with Ultrabook-class PCs" and available about three months after the Windows 8 launch (when the RT model will be available).

This looks really good, not gonna lie. They need to price the WinRT one at $500 to compete with the iPad though, but this has more than enough to sway me.

 

[goldenchild9]

Digital ink
Palm Blocking Pen input

Ivy Bridge Processor in the Pro Version (same Intel chipset used on the new MacBooks, thought exact speed not yet specified)

USB 3.0 (Pro)

1080p Display

Magnetically connected Multi-Touch keyboard (tacticel version also available)

3 hinged flip out stand  

Xbox Gaming

Run Full Windows Programs on the Pro

Basically the RT version is the iPad competitor and the Pro version is the MacBook Air competitor.

What's the prices looking like? if it's a good price... coppedx2
