Microsoft has unveiled a new 'Surface' 10.6-inch tablet with a keyboard touch cover.

Today at an event in Hollywood, Microsoft unveiled Surface: PCs built to be the ultimate stage for Windows. Company executives showed two Windows tablets and accessories that feature significant advances in industrial design and attention to detail. Surface is designed to seamlessly transition between consumption and creation, without compromise. It delivers the power of amazing software with Windows and the feel of premium hardware in one exciting experience.

ADVANCES IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Conceived, designed and engineered entirely by Microsoft employees, and building on the company's 30-year history manufacturing hardware, Surface represents a unique vision for the seamless expression of entertainment and creativity. Extensive investment in industrial design and real user experience includes the following highlights:

Software takes center stage: Surface sports a full-sized USB port and a 16:9 aspect ratio – the industry standard for HD. It has edges angled at 22 degrees, a natural position for the PC at rest or in active use, letting the hardware fade into the background and the software stand out.

VaporMg: The casing of Surface is created using a unique approach called VaporMg (pronounced Vapor-Mag), a combination of material selection and process to mold metal and deposit particles that creates a finish akin to a luxury watch. Starting with magnesium, parts can be molded as thin as .65 mm, thinner than the typical credit card, to create a product that is thin, light and rigid/strong.

Integrated Kickstand: The unique VaporMg approach also enables a built-in kickstand that lets you transition Surface from active use to passive consumption – watching a movie or even using the HD front- or rear-facing video cameras. The kickstand is there when needed, and disappears when not in use, with no extra weight or thickness.

Touch Cover: The 3 mm Touch Cover represents a step forward in human-computer interface. Using a unique pressure-sensitive technology, Touch Cover senses keystrokes as gestures, enabling you to touch type significantly faster than with an on-screen keyboard. It will be available in a selection of vibrant colors. Touch Cover clicks into Surface via a built-in magnetic connector, forming a natural spine like you find on a book, and works as a protective cover. You can also click in a 5 mm-thin Type Cover that adds moving keys for a more traditional typing feel.

An Amazing Windows Experience

Two models of Surface will be available: one running an ARM processor featuring Windows RT, and one with a third-generation Intel Core processor featuring Windows 8 Pro. From the fast and fluid interface, to the ease of connecting you to the people, information and apps that users care about most, Surface will be a premium way to experience all that Windows has to offer. Surface for Windows RT will release with the general availability of Windows 8, and the Windows 8 Pro model will be available about 90 days later. Both will be sold in the Microsoft Store locations in the U.S. and available through select online Microsoft Stores.

Contributing to an Expanded Ecosystem

One of the strengths of Windows is its extensive ecosystem of software and hardware partners, delivering selection and choice that makes a customer's Windows experience uniquely their own. This continues with Surface. Microsoft is delivering a unique contribution to an already strong and growing ecosystem of functional and stylish devices delivered by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to bring the experience of Windows to consumers and businesses around the globe.

Achei o conceito mesmo muito bom. Se o preço for justo e a autonomia for boa, é uma excelente alternativa aos ultraportáteis que para aí andam. Aliás, é um tablet deste tipo que o Asus Transformer Pad deveria ter sido desde o inicio.

Esse é a versão Arm pelo que me parece. Ou seja, as Apps não vão ser compativeis com as do Desktop.

É por isso que também estou para ver a versão x86... Se bem implementado, prefiro o Windows 8 a Android em Tablets.

Se for realmente bem implementado, se não for pesado e se for rápido nem penso duas vezes. Ter o windows 8 num tablet com todas as suas capacidades era uma maravilha.

Estive a ler uma noticia relacionada com isso.

O Windows RT vai ser para arquitetura Arm.

O Windows 8 Pro vai ser para arquitetura x86 e sai 3 meses mais tarde.

Ou seja, Windows RT é para cagar, e a versão Pro é que vai realmente interessar.

Falta saber o preço lol

Chamam-se manias :lol: tal como há já uns tempos andava para aí a ideia de telemovel no relógio, quando saír aí algo wow, vai toda a gente atrás...

Achei interessante o teclado, o resto é mais do mesmo.

Já agora, só para se ter uma ideia da diferença de poder de processamento.

O Samsung Galaxy S3 faz 0.15 GFlops, ou 150 MFlops. E quem diz o S3, diz outro qualquer dispositivo Arm. Não varia muito.

O Core i5 dependendo da versão, faz uns 40GFlops. A diferença é gigantesca.

Já agora, gostava era de ver uma versão com o Atom, consomem muito menos energia que o i5, e fazem cerca de 5GFlops, o que já é suficiente para bater qualquer Arm.
