Microsoft Surface launching alongside Windows 8 this October

4.5
Microsoft's Surface is launching on (or near) October 26, according to a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing. "The next version of our operating system, Windows 8, will be generally available on October 26, 2012. At that time, we will begin selling the Surface, a series of Microsoft-designed and manufactured hardware devices," the report reads.

The Surface launches in two flavors: Surface for Windows RT and Surface for Windows 8 Pro, the latter carrying beefier specs. It's unclear if both will launch simultaneously, and no pricing has been set on the two varieties of Surface. At least one game will be available at launch – Skulls of the Shogun – with others expected alongside it.

412 This doesn`t even interest me.


Haha, It doesn't interest me either, I've never cares about tablet things.


I've never been interested either really but my Dad bought an Android and says he might buy this (:


Seems like a pretty good deal. I'm thinking this will be like a mini netbook and a tablet combined.

AR15 Personally don't like tablets, so this will not be for me.


Yeah I don't really like them but if my parents will buy it I won't complain :D


I'm a owner of a ipad 2. I don't know what it is about the surface but I want one. Hopefully it has a better word processor


Yeah I was thinking that! Due to the fact it is Microsoft, hopefully it will have word!!! < 3


Surface could end up being used more like a laptop then. It would be pretty cool to have something that compact that you can work with virtually anywhere.
