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.

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

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)

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.T-CM11 wrote:Correct comparison =

I would consider adding a Surface (in a distant future
) 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.george wrote:Yes, a tablet with fans. Now that will be amazing...
But this could fill the gap between iPad <-> Ultrabook. IMO a good idea.
