Microsoft unveils Surface Tablet


Last Monday at an event in Hollywood Microsoft has unveiled Surface, the device will feature Windows 8 system, Intel or ARM-based processor, 10.6 inch (26.9cm) displays, built-in kickstands and are housed in magnesium cases. 

The company's chief executive, Steve Ballmer, said he had wanted to give the software "its own companion hardware".

The Intel's x86 tablets run Windows 8 Pro and are 13.5mm (0.5 inches) thick. These can run Metro and an updated version of the "classic" desktop which allow these devices to use software designed for previous editions of Windows, although some programs will need to be updated to be compatible.

The versions using ARM-based processor are 9.3mm (0.4 inches) thick and run the Windows RT version of the new system. Third-party developers have to rewrite programs from scratch to run on the system's Metro interface to work on these devices.
