Microsoft unveiled its brand new tablet, called Surface, during what the company promised would be a “major” media event on Monday evening at Milk Studios in Hollywood, California.
Microsoft proudly gave consumers a look at two models of their new devises:
- one running Windows RT and built around an ARM processor,Windows RT is the “Metro-only” version of the upcoming Windows 8
- one running Windows 8 Pro and built around an Intel processor.Windows 8 Pro features Metro as well as the more familiar desktop look of Windows, with a Start bar and homescreen icons.
Smith & Gilbert of Huffington post said of the new systems: “Both of the models feature what is likely the hallmark aspect of the Windows Surface tablet: a built-in keyboard. The back cover can be folded under the tablet and becomes a super-thin (3mm) QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard attaches to the case magnetically and comes with an accelerometer that tells the tablet when it is activate, and when it is folded into the back of the case. The so-called Touch Cover will be available in five colors, including black, blue, and hot pink.”
Microsoft has already put up a site where you can get a look at the the new features of their up-coming addition.
