Hands-on with Microsoft Surface for Windows RT, Touch Cover and Type Cover
In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.
We’re here live at Microsoft’s press event in Los Angeles, where it just unveiled not just the rumored tablet you were hoping for, but two tablets: Surface for Windows RT, which has an NVIDIA chip inside, and Surface for Windows 8 Pro, which runs off Ultrabook-grade Ivy Bridge processors. (Yes, Surface here is the name of a tablet line, not software optimized for large touchscreens. Get that out of your system now.) Though the two differ slightly in dimensions, with the Pro model measuring in slightly thicker, both have a slim kickstand, about as thick as a credit card, that folds out of the backside like the tail of a photo frame. Both are made of magnesium and, perhaps most importantly, work with either of two magnetic covers that double as keyboards (one with multitouch input, and one with physical, three-dimensional keys). No word on pricing — just that Surface for Windows RT will cost about what you’ll end up paying for other Windows RT tablets, and that the Pro version will fetch similar prices as Ultrabooks. We saw Surface for RT as well as both keyboard on display at the demo area here following Microsoft’s big press event. We’ve got a gallery of hands-on shots below, which we’ll be updating shortly. In the meantime, find impressions past the break, and expect us to chime in with more detailed thoughts there too.Gallery: Microsoft Surface for Windows RTContinue reading Hands-on with Microsoft Surface for Windows RT, Touch Cover and Type CoverHands-on with Microsoft Surface for Windows RT, Touch Cover and Type Cover originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:43:00 EDT.
