Microsoft's surface tablet. A new type of product !

Too many innovations lately - and still we expect the google's i/o event in a few days for even more!

Microsoft introduced a new kind of product - a modified built-in keyboard tablet running on Windows 8.

There is a choice of two cover keyboards types (not counting in the color options) for two different typing styles - touch cover keyboard (capacitive) or tactile type keyboard (proper keys).


Also, it's the first tablet that offers a normal full-size USB2 port. I wonder what stopped them from implementing a USB3 port! It wouldn't be that huge difference in speed but USB2 sounds obsolete in tech ears.

The screen size is 10,6" and the tablet supports stylus input - so you can take notes, draw etc on it. The device has a kickstand too - but i am not sure if it locks to your preferred position or if it holds a specific standard angle.

This device is the first PC to use magnesium case and is less than 14mm thick with 2 lbs weight.

As the local time now is 3:30am i'll get some rest and check this device in detail tomorrow.
