To the "Surface"

Microsoft Surface is a series of tablets designed and marketed by Microsoft. 

The Surface comes in two versions: one with Windows RT and another with Windows 8 Pro. The Windows RT model uses an ARM CPU, while the Windows 8 Pro model will use an Intel CPU.  Both models are able to install new applications via the Windows Store, however only the Windows 8 Pro model allows the installation of traditional third-party desktop programs.

                                                          

The Microsoft Surface line features VaporMg, a molded magnesium casing that houses Surface's components paired with a Physical Vapor Deposition(PVD) finish. Both models have two 720p HD front- and rear-facing cameras, and a "kickstand" beneath which is a  hidden microSDXC port. The "kickstand" allows the device to be standd up at an angle for hands-free viewing. It has 2GB memory, Geforce ULP graphics in surface whereas 4 GB memory and Intel HD Graphics 4000 in surface pro.

Surface is a very exciting piece of hardware that Microsoft has launched after kinect. The slim tablet cum PC is a great hardware to own. I would definitely like to get one of those but looking at the price that Microsoft has tagged it. I don't think it is worth paying $500.

 I would love to own one of them only if somebody sponsored me one.
