holy crap ANOTHER keyboard implementation with tactile keys

they're fucking bringin it, hard.

 

[Windu]

Fuck I am going to have to buy one. Please don't be a nutty price.

well, if it can convert Gary then i think they have a hit on their hands.

 

[eosos]

Shit gotta sell my Prime now.

 

[Gary Whitta]

I'm confused, everything I was brought up to believe is being challenged.

Seriously, Microsoft is crushing expectations here.

 

[planar1280]

guys....they just ran the full version of Adobe Lightroom on it.........................................

 

[outunderthestars]

OMG GUYS THE PEN STICKS TO THE TABLET

In more seriousness, Windows 8 Pro model looks awesome. If priced right (500-600), I am in.

Add about $300 to your price...

 

[f0rk]

It almost competes with the MacBook Air and the iPad at the same time. Probably should expect price to reflect that.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Anyone want an ASUS Transformer Prime? I think I have one for sale.

LOL I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[Complex Shadow]

fuck yea. GIMME!!!

 

[criesofthepast]

Drop the bomb.

 

[Quick]

Mykrosoff pls

 

[Jintor]

Wait are they livestreaming this? Where are you crazy people seeing this?

 

[golem]

Give us the price already!

 

[alr1ght]

output via DisplayPort

 

[Technosteve]

can't wait to get one of those keyboard covers for my ipad

 

[FStop7]

Fuck I am going to have to buy one.

Megaton

 

[timetokill]

Fuck yes, this looks like the real deal.

I never wanted an iPad because the standard input capabilities were too limited, too imprecise.

This with stylus + keyboard + touch = yes, will buy

 

[Derrick01]

If that keyboard works better than it looks then this might be the thing that finally gets me into the smartphone/tablet generation. It's closer to an actual PC than the others which is what I need.

 

[Glorified G]

I never cared about tablets before. Now I do.

 

[Divvy]

This has been the funniest 180 that gaf impressions have pulled.

 

[Thoraxes]

what is the goddamn price?

Let them give you all the good before they drop that bomb on you. They need to cushion the blow somehow.

 

[MetatronM]

Those desktop screens seem like they would be miserable to look at at tablet size.

Tactile keys! What a novel idea!


The integrated design of the keyboard cover really is nice. By far the coolest thing about this little machine.

 

[Mudkips]

Can't even believe they delivered so hard.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Wow, this looks fucking beautiful

They may be onto something here

 

[Monty Mole]

Shame they went with a 16:9 screen, too. 4:3 would be much nicer.

Are you any relation to Stanley Kubrick or David Simon?

 

[DarkLegion]

I might actually make this my first tablet and replace my laptop for school with this

Spoiler

Ridiculous price will probably stop me.

 

[Josh7289]

Any word on the resolution (or battery life) yet? This thing looks great.

 

[tirminyl]

Wait are they livestreaming this? Where are you crazy people seeing this?

Live blogs like TheVerge.com

 

[JLG-]

So it's not just a tablet, but more like a PC-Tablet. I hope this shit catches on.

It's a full desktop pc

 

[victreeb3l]

i doubt this will be an ipad killer but it will most likely decimate any upcoming android tablets

 

[dyergram]

Price predictions go

 

[NomarTyme]

Anyone want an ASUS Transformer Prime? I think I have one for sale.

$300

 

[Jeff-DSA]

And suddenly my Xoom looks ripe for a gifting to the wife...

 

[Volimar]

was that Lightroom?

Yup

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

the whole family! two different types of keyboads. thicker and a thinner.

 

[MThanded]

I'm having a meltdown here.

Pack it up guys.

 

[vagabondarts]

That pen. Oh god. I need this.

yes

 

[derFeef]

Wacom or N-trig? That's the other question. My bet is on N-trig.

 

[KHarvey16]

I'm confused, everything I was brought up to believe is being challenged.

Seriously, Microsoft is crushing expectations here.

As long as this thing doesn't have SCSI I'll be ok.

 

[Canuck76]

Physical keyboard was always a huge barrier of entry for me for tablets.

Now that this has one I'm super interested

 

[Chris R]

everyone has said windows 8 is awesome on a tablet.

I'd have to see one in person and try it then.

 

[sikkinixx]

guys....they just ran the full version of Adobe Lightroom on it.........................................

Verge said it was a "simplified interface..."

 

[Kud Dukan]

Any word on the resolution (or battery life) yet? This thing looks great.

Haven't seen any confirmations yet, but it sounds like the Pro model will be 1980x1080 or thereabouts.

[Vire]

This seems more like a laptop. I'm not sure what the point is versus a new slim notebook.

 

[Emitan]

omg microsoft what heppened to you you're all sexy now

 

[Curufinwe]

Fuck I am going to have to buy one. Please don't be a nutty price.

Sell some of your outdated Apple tat to pay for it.

 

[Clydefrog]

this is going to cost a fortune
