Company executives showed two Windows tablets and accessories that feature significant advances in industrial design and attention to detail. Surface is designed to seamlessly transition between the consumption and creation of content. Conceived, designed and engineered entirely by Microsoft engineers, and building on the company’s 30-year history manufacturing hardware, Surface represents the company’s latest effort to break into the tablet market, and offer a portable PC that has a chance to compete against the likes of the Apple iPad. Two models of Surface will be available: one running an ARM processor featuring Windows RT, and one with a third-generation Intel Core processor featuring Windows 8 Pro. According to Microsoft, these Surface tablets offer a fast and fluid interface that will allow users to take advantage of the upcoming Windows 8 operating system, as well as apps designed for the new OS.
