| Microsoft Surface Tablet - The iPad Killer. |
The iPad is only 9.5 inches in length, 0.37 inches in width and is 1.44 pounds and the other hand, the Series 7 Slate PC, slightly heavier with 11.66 inches in length, 0.51 inches in width, about 2 pounds in weight. Surface tablet will be close to iPad in weight and size. Yes, it’s a hybrid so you can’t even compare it side - by - side with the iPad because Surface can be used as a tablet or a laptop or even a desktop. It has best of both worlds: The Metro Style tablet and the Classic Windows Desktop style.

Another iPad killer? Until M$ actually, you know, DELIVERS a product, we're just gonna have to wait and see, aren't we?
With the attached keyboard, it looks like a laptop, but inverted; one will find it rather difficult to place a flexible keyboard in one's lap, with the weight of the actual device making for an interesting physics lesson in top-heaviness, don't you think?
Oh well, at least it's not running some version of Android.
Best of luck. Let us know if it really does become the iPad killer. If not, it'll make for good landfill.
a useless comment....
indeed!
windows 8 based nokia handsets also leaked out and they are awsome chek them out here at seven colour gossips
I am a Series 7 user and the biggest problem I have is the weight. It is not as handy as iPad or other tablets and can be a pain in the wrist if you hold it for long time....
Still though I think I would find it more useful especially with the intel processor which will mean unlike the ipad it is useful for things other than swatting flies and disciplining the dog
