Oh, wow, rubber keyboards.
Finally.
Something I hate more than touch-typing on a screen.

Doesn't that skewed Logo on the frame bother any of you?
Looks terribly awkward to me. Nothing I'd want to stare at any longer than I just did.

@chokehold, that's not really smart thing indeed. It will look messed up when used on portrait mode.

Plus:

- No pricing.
- No battery life specs.
- Back support = mobile part = will end breaking or messing up.
- 1 Kg weight. iPad 3 is only 680 gr.
- No 3G connectivity.

I don't know where this thing is going to fit. I'd rather get a MacBook Air instead and run Windows on it.

That's the ARM version which is almost useless software wise.

Screen resolution is also a big joke if you come from the iPad 3.

Don't forget that the bigger version is an Core i5 Ivy Bridge CPU! This is a bit different story than the Arm based iPad (A5X).
The Arm based Tablets have similar weight as stated by T-CM11.

Battery-life is of course the interesting question Wink

You compare it with an iPad.

Can you use Logic, or AU's on an iPad? No? Oh, it must be useless then.

So, correct comparison =
iPad (A5(X)) vs Surface (ARM)

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

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


so how is Windows 8 behaving with audio latency and MIDI and all the other things needed for music applications ?

The GUI.

I see, now GUIs have a name. Hm.

Well, I am happy with the iPad and even if this things is good, why would I want to change.

Just compare iPad music apps number to Surface ARM music apps and maybe you realize what I'm talking about.

I'm not happy with the iPad, but I love the apps.
I would consider adding a Surface (in a distant future Razz ) if some great exclusive music apps would appear.

The active cooling system must not be wrong. For this you get the power to run some more stuff and yes, it goes a bit in the direction of a Ultrabook.
But this could fill the gap between iPad <-> Ultrabook. IMO a good idea.
