Microsoft announces Surface tablet at Los Angeles event

4.7
The Microsoft Big Announcement Speculation Game can finally come to an end, as the company announced a new tablet device called Microsoft Surface this afternoon during a Los Angeles press event. Microsoft calls it the "companion hardware innovation" for Windows 8, an OS that was designed to work on mobile devices specifically.

The Surface includes a kickstand built in to the device, as well as an optional cover that contains a touch-typing, super thin keyboard and a multitouch trackpad. Because the device runs a full version of Windows 8, it presumably will run any games that work on that OS, but we'll have to wait and see how those games play. We can also presume that the Surface will work right alongside any other Smart Glass features to be announced for the Xbox later on. We'll have more on Surface in the future, so stay tuned.

-Parallax- I think Microsoft is just wasting their money to gain more money. They get enough from, hmm lets see, the hundreds of consoles and games sold every day?!?


In my opinion this will be a great product, but you really need to understand they are a business and they make products to make money, also their finance doesn't come off consoles and games? thats a side profit Microsoft is a software company globally, (Micro - Soft, spell it out for yourself) Don't speak on ignorance!
