Something called a Surface
When I heard rumours that Microsoft was going to announce a tablet, I had a sort of a jocular internal idea of what Microsoft’s idea of a tablet would be.
These included:
- an x86 CPU
- lots and lots of superfluous ports so that you’ll end up with something festooned with wires to plug everything in
- visible screws holding it all together
- a physical keyboard
Well, they’ve gone and (sort of) announced a tablet, and it has all those things. It’s about as Microsoft a design as any I could have thought of.
That keyboard in the cover is pretty neat though, at least I’ll give them that.
