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.

I dont think you understand especially with all your other odd comments.

We use tablets and laptops at work, we have laptop docks in the office which is all hot seating.
Why do we run tablets and laptops? Because surface wasnt a vailable. If surface was out years ago, i would be surprised if we went for the ipad like we did.

Well all the rumors that theyd be the same size were wrong.

So much for ARM tablets looking thin.
Far from thin, but I like the thick quality.

Nothing slows it down because there's nothing to slow it down.

You can't get much thinner and keep a USB port. I would always prefer a full size port, compared to dongles.

You'd think with all their talk of productivity they'd have integrated 3G or something...

It is thin :confused:

The old one was 9.4mm wasnt it? And this is a mm thiner and the ipad is 9.4mm

Right can you just hurry up and get through the boring stuff, i want prices, release dates and most importantly hands on videos.

Its still called SkyDrive? I thought they had to rename it. Or is it just in the UK?

Martini1991 · 23 Sep 2013 at 16:18

It's really not that thin. It doesn't bother me, I like the thick build quality.
Or at least the original.

No release date yet ?

cu3ed · 23 Sep 2013 at 16:19

Give me thickness with full size USB and Kickstand any day!

Cant believe how much I find the kickstand useful on mine.

Weird on the Suface hes using they don't show any of the typical newer 8.1 sized tiles etc.

"We're selling Surface 2 for $449."

Not yet, sunds like surface 2 will be a ailanle same day as win8 and pro at a later date, or was that just the backlght touch cover.

Yay more storage, i have top band at the moment which is 100Gb, urface 2 comes with 200Gb for two years.

Well spoted, did anyone get a pic of the desktop when they were using offic e, perhaps this will be avilable sooner than win8.1

Hope they don't release it late like they did with the surface pro...

Have they said what SOC it is yet?
I'm kind hoping it's an S4 so it's cheap.

Glaucus · 23 Sep 2013 at 16:23

Good god, that touch covers come on a long way.

That should improve accuracy. Which was another of the surface complaints.

Nope, tegra4 is the one to put money on though.

POB · 23 Sep 2013 at 16:24

How the hell did they get a backlit touch cover and make it thinner crazy.
