“We believe in the power of the PC ecosystem ... numerous hardware and software vendors must work together to provide users with a choice. Such partnerships are important for the new generation of Windows, ”said Steve Ballmer at the presentation. “However, in the case of Windows 8, we don’t want to leave any loopholes (any seam uncovered) and are going to contribute to innovation.” This is an absolutely unusual, completely new family of computing devices from Microsoft. This is a new Microsoft Surface - and this is a tablet. ”

Steven Sinofsky told us about the tablet on Windows RT: 9.3 mm thickness, 10.6 "HD display with 16: 9 aspect ratio, USB 2.0 port, the first of its kind magnesium alloy casing (VaporMg), the best WiFi support Among the existing tablets (antenna 2x2 MIMO), Touch Cover, keyboard, 3 mm thick, five colors, 32/64 GB of memory.

Instead of a three-millimeter Touch Cover, you can take a 5 mm Type Cover with moving keys. Tablet on WinRT will be released immediately after the launch of Win8, that is, no later than October.

The tablet on Windows 8 runs on the Ivy Bridge processor, is equipped with USB 3.0 ports, a Mini DisplayPort, up to 128 GB of memory, it will be available three months after the younger model.

Prices are still hiding, at the presentation, Ballmer said that they would “be competitive,” that is, a Surface with an ARM processor would cost like other tablets, and a Win8 tablet like an ultrabook.
