Microsoft's 'Surface' Tablet computer

Microsoft has unveiled Surface, a tablet computer to compete with Apple’s iPad. 

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was on hand to announce the new tablet, calling it part of a “whole new family of devices” the company is developing. 

Surface is less than 14 millimetres thick and under 910 grams, will work on Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 8 Pro operating system and cost as much as an Ultrabook, the company said. The pro version comes with a stylus that allows users to make handwritten notes on documents such as PDF files. 


Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft’s Windows division, called the device a “tablet that’s a great PC PC that’s a great tablet.”
