Pen input on the intel tablet?

RIP Galaxy Note 10.1

 

[x-Lundz-x]

$500-800

Probably spot on.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Holy shit. I didn't think it was possible, but I actually want a tablet now.

same here. I was in the laptop-4-life crowd, but the more details that come out about this, I actually fucking want it.

 

[Lazy Jones]

But will it run Crysis?

 

[Maxim726X]

digital ink???

sold bitchez!

WHAAATT??

Holy fuckballs!

 

[Ravensmash]

This is cool!

 

[derFeef]

Holy shit. Ink on screeny.

 

[Canuck76]

No but guys no apple logo

no buy

 

[Angelus Errare]

To the designers in here

Anyone else feel that there should have been ligature with the r and f Surface? Seeing as it's their logo/brand for the tablet and all some flair would have been nice, and I just kept staring at how close they kerned the two together.

With that annoyance out of the way, that tablet is hot. Glad to see the Zune team being able to design other things, I hope they do the design work for the next Xbox.

 

[D4Danger]

price is the only way they can fuck this up now

 

[a Master Ninja]

Unless this is phenomenally expensive, I think Microsoft just killed Android tablets.

I can't disagree with this.

 

[Doc Holliday]

fuckkkkkk pen input!?!?!?!!

 

[owlbeak]

 

[SteveWinwood]

BATTERY LIFE

BOTH

 

[legacyzero]

Netflix? my fucking toilet can run that.

BAHAHA.
I wish you could keep that as a tag :3

 

[TCRS]

this thing's got EVERYTHING!

 

[Shining Sunshine]

That keyboard is ugh...

 

[Dega]

sold!

 

[D23]

I WANT THIS NOWWWWWWWWWWWw

 

[Gary Whitta]

If the price fits, Microsoft really did something here. This is the true iPad rival we've been missing until now.

 

[JLG-]

fuck ya

Oh shit. Fuck take my fucking money right nowwwww!

 

[GuessWho]

TAKE MY MONEY

 

[Felix Lighter]

There's an i5 in that thing? Holy shit it's the future.

 

[Juice]

It seems that the responses in this thread are a tad overly positive.

I am not sure this renders the iPad "dead." I don't get the sense this has any hope of rivaling the iPad in units sold through to users or in profit.

 

[clav]

Wow.

 

[Nobility]

Consider me...impressed.

Well done Microsoft, still need to see a price though...

 

[def sim]

I wasn't here long enough to make fun of it. Goddamn it guys.

 

[Slayer-33]

Oh my god

THIS IS NUTS

 

[Rur0ni]

Shiiiit. I like it.

 

[Biff]

Pretty fucking cool. Nailed the strategy of the device, in my opinion. Completely targeting businesses for when they upgrade into the next Windows life cycle. I'm guessing they'll try to get current WinXP businesses to skip Win7, so they'll be tablet ready.

This really is an excellent business solution. Laptop and tablet all in one. Adding USB seems so stupidly simple but should have a major impact on usability.

 

[Talon]

Where the fuck has this Microsoft been for the past six years?

 

[Ovid]

Whoa, magnetic cover that's a touch sensitive keyboard as well? :O

Okay, now that is cool.

 

[JABEE]

This looks really cool. I may want to get this over a MacBook Air.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Full HD display, loads of memory and x86 option

http://www.microsoft.com/global/surface/en/us/renderingassets/surfacespecsheet.pdf

Sold.

Hmm... How do you know it's an x86 option?

I'll consider getting this if it's x86, but otherwise, I'm personally not interested in another ARM tablet, though I do like some of what Surface is doing, especially the pen input.

 

[Phonomezer]

Oh God. INK. HOLD ME.

 

[Glorified G]

Drop the bomb and make this $199 and destroy Apple.

 

[Divvy]

I think I see pen pressure!

 

[dyergram]

Looks expensive and sexy as fuck.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

All we need is a surprise allard appearance and Microsoft can drop the mic.

 

[Centurion]

Ipad killer it is lol


Steve Jobs would be mad right now.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

HOLY FUCK. Is this pressure sensitive? :O

 

[Windu]

Wait. where did they say stylus support?

Windows has supported stylus since forever.

 

[MIMIC]

price is the only way they can fuck this up now

lol, this

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Man this is how you shake up an industry. Phenomenal announcement, and everything that led up to it was awesome.

 

[Vandiger]

Damn, MS. Just damn....

 

[Seguin]

Gamechanger

 

[Y2Kev]

What kind of battery life does the x86 version get?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

price is the only way they can fuck this up now

I don't see how it's not going to be crazy, unless MS eats a huge chunk of the cost.

 

[Randdalf]

Styluses are back!

 

[Chris R]

This looks really cool. Such a shame I can't stand using Windows 8.
