So, what's the story? Well, for one, Microsoft's playing coy when it comes to both CPU speed and available memory. Not unlike Apple and its iPad, actually. We're guessing that the company will try to push the user experience instead of focusing on pure specifications, and it's frankly about time the industry started moving in that direction. Pure hardware attributes only get you so far, and judging by the amount of integration time that went into this project, Microsoft would be doing itself a huge disservice to launch anything even close to not smooth-as-butter.
Meni uopste nije ruzan, cak naprotiv deluje elegantno i kvalitetno. Jedino sto stvarno moze da smeta je taj ventilator, ali videcemo kako je to reseno i koliko moze to da bude problem.svakom slucaju je fugly i nece se prodavati kao sto ocekuju.
Ako bude 1000 evra biće masivni fail.
Невероватно како манипулишеш инфпрмацијама 🙂Mislim da ce najvise stete imati android tableti kojima ne ide bas najbolje, a ovo ce samo pogorsati to.
Po meni dobra stvar je sto Microsoft vise ne reklamira megaherce:

Зашто андроид таблетима не иде најбоље?
Ти као да се радујеш овоме јер ће наводно да узима андроидов део тржишта, а Apple-ов неће ни да такне јер iPad очигледно нема конкуренцију 😀
Samo da dodam da smatram da je ovo značajno bolje od Android tableta - Windows 8 će lepo raditi, bez usporavanja i glupih overhaul-on-top-of-everything cirkusa kakvi se redovno viđaju po Androidima...

Ово чудо ми се свиђа, поготово што је веома лак у односу на све досадашње x86 таблете, али ће сигурно коштати барем колико iPad, а реално и више. Више наде полажем у ARM верзију, мање грејања, дужа батерија, 30% лакши. Не мислим да је грешка што праве и x86 верзију јер тако хоће да повећају број иређаја са њиховим ОСом тј. осећам да је циљ слично искуство невезано за хардверску платформу.
Rekoše da će Win 8 Pro verzija biti u rangu sa ultrabookovima - ja nešto mislim da će cenu da stave na 899 ili 849 dolara. Minimum 799, manje da bude ne može...
mislis: kad ce Apple da dozvoli Windows RT na iPadu 😀Mene više zanima kada će Microsoft dozvoliti da se Windows RT instalira na iPad
Microsoft just got done unveiling its best kept secret in years and we got a few minutes with the device and came away modestly impressed.
We got to play with the RT version of the tablet and it feels like it was carved from a rock. All around, it was sturdy, showed little flex in the casing, and was simply a rock solid piece of hardware.
A nice little touch is that if you attach a blue Touch Cover to the device, it will change the theme to match the cover. Additionally, the kickstand was magnificent and did not feel flimsy by any means.
Microsoft also went all out by dropping a little bit of water on to the tablet. As you might expect, the water balled up and rolled right off. Microsoft said that it will handle grubby fingers with ease and apparently even tested it with ketchup and mustard.
The touch cover felt good in the hands and typing was a good experience in general, firm, responsive keys mended nicely to your fingertips.
To be blunt, we have never felt a tablet as sturdy as this one and that includes the iPad. It is quite a masculine tablet with its chiseled edges and gunmetal covering and we walked away impressed, ready to buy.
Our time with the tablet was quite brief and we should note that until we get time to spend a few days with the device, we can't give it a proper review.
At yesterdays mystery Microsoft event, the company unveiled the Microsoft Surface range to a stunned audience. The Microsoft-made tablets are the benchmark for high-end tablet design and come with beautiful hardware to complement all the work Microsoft has put in to making the software - Windows RT or Windows 8 Pro, depending on the tablet - just right for the form factor.
However while a lot was revealed at today's event, a lot of critical information was missing from the procession at today's event. So, to make it easier for everyone searching for info on the tablet we have compiled a list of things we know, things that are possibilities and things we don't know about the Microsoft Surface.
What we know:
There are two Surface tablets: an ARM-based one running Windows RT and an Intel-based one running Windows 8 Pro
Specs of the Surface tablets show that the ARM-based device is slimmer and lighter than the enterprise-oriented Pro version
The displays on both devices are 10.6" - although the RT one is just "HD" (this is presumed to mean 1366 x 768) while the Pro version is Full HD (1080p)
The Windows RT Surface will come with either 32 GB or 64 GB of storage while the Pro tablet has 64 or 128 GB
The Surface(s) feature built-in kickstands, with the VaporMg tablet body being made from magnesium
Both devices feature full-sized USB ports, although only the Pro version has USB 3.0
Covers for the Surfaces known as "Type Covers" feature a built in keyboard. They will come in all the Metro colors.
The Pro Surface will work with a specially designed stylus.
The Pro tablet will feature a third-gen Core i5 CPU from Intel, although the exact model is unknown
In a similar situation, the RT version will have an NVIDIA Tegra chipset, again what model is unknown at this stage
The Surface will be sold at select Microsoft Stores in the US
What we don't know:
The price. Microsoft claim the ARM-based Surface will be priced similarly to other ARM tablets, and the x86 version to be priced like ultrabooks; apart from that extremely vague indicator we have absolutely no idea.
Microsoft mentioned the tablets will be available around the general release of Windows 8. We don't know when that is, so really we don't know when the Surface will be available.
Will the Surface be available internationally? We asked Microsoft PR in Australia and they said they have "[no] information whatsoever" on its availability, so that's up in the air.
Other specs, such as the exact chipsets, RAM, connectivity, display type and full dimensions of both tablets
Battery life. We know the size of the batteries as 31.5 W-h (RT) and 42 W-h (Pro) but that doesn't really give much clue into what the battery life is.
Who is really manufacturing the Surface. It's not a branded device, but like the iPad, Microsoft is almost certainly not manufacturing it directly
Our guesses:
Price: The ARM-based Surface will probably retail for around $500, while the Pro Surface for around $800-900
Release: This rests on Windows 8, which indicates October (possibly September) for the RT Surface and January for the Pro Surface
Locales: The Surface will almost certainly be available outside North America, although possibly after the USA launch
Battery Life: A 31.5 W-h (watt-hour) battery is not enormous, but considering tablets such as the Asus Transformer Pad (with a 22 W-h battery) last eight hours we'll say at least that. Expect less for the Pro Surface.
Other specs: This is really up in the air. The ARM tablet will likely have 1 GB of RAM plus a quad-core Tegra 3 as the next-gen Tegra chips (Wayne) are not due until Q1 2013. The x86 tablet will probably have specs similar to that of an ultrabook (2 GB+ RAM plus a CULV Ivy Bridge chip)
Manufacturing: We honestly have no idea on this one; it could be anyone.
Prvo ne znam zasto uopste mislite da ce Android gubiti trziste 🙂 pa mozda ako Google spava, a do sada se nije pokazao kao takva kompanija.
A ono i ICS predstalja prvi Android koji radi lepo na tabletima i koji i ima njih u nekom fokusu (probni balon zvani HC ne pominjem 🙂 )
Edit: ova prica me mnogo podseca na onu kada su se pojavljivale informacije u vezi WP-a i prvih telefona baziranih na njemu. Tada su isto tvrdili da ce android izgubiti deo trzista.... Nista dok ne vidim to u prodaji i kako kupci prihvataju i odgovore konkurencije
