Microsoft Announces The Surface Tablet Series

Tech:

Microsoft may be late to the game but do they have a winning product?

Yesterday Microsoft announced their entry into the market of tablets with their new product; Surface.

Microsoft is set to release two models of Surface called Microsoft Surface Tablet, and Microsoft Surface Pro. Although the Microsoft Surface tablet is exciting, the Microsoft Surface Pro is prettier on the eyes packing Windows 8 Pro Operating System and a more powerful processor powered by Intel Core i5. Below you can check out the side by side comparisons between the two models.

Though the press event was full of information regarding the specs regarding the Surface tablets, we were given very little information regarding the price tag and the release date for Microsoft's new direction. What we do know is that we will have to wait for Windows 8 release date in October to occur before we can see these products in our hands.

The video below gives us more of an aesthetic look towards the new Surface Tablet. With Surface running under Microsoft and the customization of the the colored keyboards and the addition of the kickstand I can see this tablet being more of an alternative for laptops (for college students) than the iPad. 

I guess we will just have to wait and see if Microsoft's late arrival to the tablet market can really pay off. Until then cue the Ohh's and Ahh's as I am sure we will be flooded with Surface promo videos....Like this one...
