The Microsoft Surface, A 10.6-Inch Windows 8 Tablet From Microsoft

"It embodies hardware and software working together. People want to work and play," Steve Ballmer said today amid much fanfare at Milk Studios in downtown Los Angeles. Microsoft has officially entered the ring with Apple. Microsoft views the Surface as a "stage for Windows 8." It's 9.3mm thin, has full size USB 2.0 jacks, a massive kickstand and weighs only 1.5 lbs. The casing is made out of magnesium (MS calls it VaporMG) and screen is covered in the Gorilla Glass 2 and optically bonded, a feature Microsoft brags was specifically made for the Surface. The Surface is directly aimed at consumers, and with that, the iPad.
