Microsoft have at last made the foray into tablet computers with Surface. And hold the press…it’s no iPad ripoff.
Technology critics have been kind to the news of the new tablet computer from Microsoft citing the built in kick-stand and clever case that doubles as a thin keyboard for users. It has VaporMg casing that protect Surface whilst still looking high quality and stylish.
It’s rumored to be on sale this October, just in time for the Christmas rush, but there is no information on how much it will set you back if you do decide to buy. At the launch Microsoft stated that it would be “priced competitively”. It appears to be lacking 3G, only integrated Wi-Fi has been mentioned.
Personally, we like the addition of the keyboard and kick-stand as they do not appear to add much bulk to Surface but give it additional functionality that the iPad lacks (without having to go out and buy add-ons).
Will Surface beckon the end of the desktop PC era? Let us know what you think – comment below.
