Wow!!
That thing looks brilliant. Finally a tablet done right Smile
Now we'll have something that could rival the place of a laptop. Seriously. None of that Pad crap with closed up OS, no usb and no freekn keyboard!

The Pro model even has usb3 and i5 processor. Shouldn't that suggest it can even run things like Reaper and vst plugins? Got to go read on Win8..
Seems like a winner in either case Smile

Got to get this to compliment my Nokia N9. Touch based OS done right Smile

Metro doesn't support MIDI input so it's useless for audio apps.

don't want to spoil the fun, but:

so you can forget your Reaper and VST plugins, unless someone ports them for the "closed up" Windows OS.

cheers,

This is only true for the ARM version (WindowsRT). The Pro version can run everything.

+1 I tried Windows 8 on my laptop, it does run normal Windows x86/x64 apps but you need touch to make it worthwhile.

Yes, very interesting stuff. Nice idea with the keyboard, the stand for the table etc. It's a bit the dream of many users, to have a tablet (and a bit like a Ultrabook).
Will be interesting how it can be used for audio stuff (latency etc).

This is only true for the Arm version. Afaik this will be the first version released the same time if Windows 8 is released (September/October). The X86 version with the Ivy Bridge CPU will be released 3 month later with Windows 8 Pro.

Metro isn't the OS, it's the interface. These things run Windows 8.

Looks like it's made of cast magnesium - let's hope they don't overheat too much then Smile
