Microsoft Surface Tablet

Microsoft Surface Tablet: Initial Impressions | PCWorld


Microsoft Surface Windows 8/RT tablets unveiled: specs, features, release date and pricing
 The ARM model is said “to be competitive with a comparable ARM tablet” and it will be available in store at the same time Windows 8 launches. The Intel model will be a bit more expensive with a price comparable to Ultrabook-class PCs, which are generally more expensive than traditional laptops. The Intel model will also be available only later down the road, around 90 days after the ARM-based Surface hits stores.
