Checking out Microsoft Surface SP1

[Hontaish]

I want one.

But I'm not paying 10k .

[dhbetty]

It even looks like an iPad around the screen!!!

[RhodderzX]

@dhbetty the microsoft surface was designed and created before the ipad was actually brainstormed.

[20MrBigmac]

I could live without this for about 3-5 years after it's initial release. There's no point being a consumer on the cutting edge of tech, just a waste of money for a product that will soon be made inferior

[mrkingb144567890]

can some one tll me how much this costss PLEASEEE i wanna buy this for home use

[shemmy64]

@mrkingb144567890

about 10,000.... business only so far

[j0llygr33ng1ant]

So, basically it's an ipad that isn't portable, requires a setup of IR cameras around it, costs 10 to 20 times as much, and won't be ready for end users for another 3 years?

[jitjoseph]

@j0llygr33ng1ant you can buy it now.

[jhonene]

Can i sleep or lean on the top of that thing?

[dowling1981]

@jhonene Do not disrespect the product. People spent hours making it, ken?

[jhonene]

@dowling1981 ow I'm so sorry. hhehehe

I did not mean anything but the question's point is " is it ok if you will lean on that one".

[dowling1981]

@jhonene Mind not, for the moment has passed. Now to more pleasant matters; did you enjoy yon video?

[rancper]

That would be hilarious if Linux made a system for that. It's about 20 times better then an Ipad, I like it.

[trufiend138]

not that impressed

[gabrielkakarotto]

I bought my Surface, home even just that I'm not getting it Calibrate '-'

I'm from Brazil

[cubano100por100to]

wheres the internet on this? does it even have internet?

[Microsoftultimatefan]

If this has a plasma screen that that would ruin it entirely for me.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

This will be great for stretegy games. From checkers, to Red Alert. I told Bill Gates that and he agrees with me.

[yorffoeg9040]

now is this capable of going on internet? thats all i want to know.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

@yorffoeg9040 It wouldn't matter because they're only selling this to buissnesses. thus you won't find it in houses.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

@yorffoeg9040 But if it didn't have internet connection. Then how would people download the SP1 for this.

[bandora]

Yeah! They said that it will be available to the general public in 3-4 years tho.. but I want it sooner.. :S

And when I say sooner.. I mean now! hehe

[bandora]

Also, isn't this Windows Vista with lots of enhancements for touch.. etc?? Will they upgrade it to Windows 7? O.o

[Microsoftultimatefan]

@bandora This has its own operating system.

[bandora]

Any words on when it's going to be available to the average joe? I heard Microsoft saying that they are going to make it affordable for people... etc. but when will that happen.. Because, I would REALLY love to have something like this at my house.. :)

[simpsons225]

If you can't wait, build it, 'cause I'm sure it will take years.

[bandora]

I was thinking of going to Microsoft HQ in Redmond and steal one.. But this is a better idea.. :P

[MukiHyena]

it's a giant iPhone

[MadSon011]

its a giant iphone that isn't an iphone and doesn't have an actual touchscreen(it uses cameras behind the screen) and is made by Microsoft and will never fit in your pocket or have 20+ fart apps available for it.

[utubeVanillaBoy]

this is NOTHING like the iphone....

[Microsoftultimatefan]

@MadSon011 Actually, its a multi-touch screen enhanced with a camera.

[jacksoncapper]

Great product! I noticed that some precise touches didn't register though.

[TheHusky9]

the only touch that didnt register was because he missed the screen

[crunchgear]

Yeah i blew it. Surface is super good at getting every little touch.

[smario3500]

The thing i hate about surface is that they flash it in our face, with all the apps and features, and they only give it to companys (ITS LIKE, DONE ALREADY, AND IT HAS BEEN FOR LIKE A YEAR NOW!!!)

[Microsoftultimatefan]

@smario3500 This came out in 2,007.

[smario3500]

yah, i know, but i was talking about letting consumers buy them instead of businesses

[Microsoftultimatefan]

But you sead a year. 2,007 is not a year behind us. 2,007 is 3 years behind us.

[factoidlabs]

I'm designing some apps for Surface right now at speakTECH, and these UX updates will be a huge help. Looking forward to getting SP1 installed to play with.

[ReTirolli]

Should be expensive as hell.. but its really nice

[Bobban360]

That table is so aaaaawsome! :D

[Microsoftultimatefan]

@Bobban360 I heard this costs $10,000.

[marcusnns]

that's ok i guess...

[jack720ass]

cool

[kop0p]

SWEET
