Brummies · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:52

Then it wouldn't be faster than 95% of laptops since spinning disks are terrible.

POB · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:52

What are you on about, spinning discs.

I hear they make SSD's in more than 128GB these days.

POB · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:55

Backlit typecover amazing. I hope the Power cover is also coloured and backlit.

Glaucus · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:55

Backlight and 1mm thinner is impresive.

Mr Jones · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:55

Now really depending on price, the Surface Pro 2 is tempting!

cu3ed · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:55

How did they fit a backlight to that!?

Brummies · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:55

Sounds the like the covers will be here next year, must say i'm impressed so far (i am impressed easily though

)

POB · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:56

Come on say Atom.

Glaucus · 23 Sep 2013 at 15:56

Now for surface 2 (no rt name), the one I'mm more interested in imediatly as my surface pro 2 funda had to eb spent elesewhere

So no mobile internet thats a big bummer. i do tether with the ipad but i liike keeping a sim card init and if i don t get decent speeds on phone i can use the sim card in ipad that is a different network.

I can't work out why this is a tablet. They've concentrated so hard on something to dock it into so you can use a keyboard and mouse at a desk, and then emphasised so much the type covers and the propping it up on a desk or your lap stand. I still don't think they quite understand touch.

LED and flat lighting tech has gone a long way, at 1.5mm though, it's impressive!

Was thinking exactly the same thing...
