-------------------

More information will be available in the future (including pricing). Sounds interesting though. Could this be a big challenge to Apple's iPad and Google's Android tablets? I like that keyboard cover idea.

Any info on prices ? Looks interesting.

pricing is rumored to be around what an Ipad costs. Also heard that there might be a professional version for around $1000, that has an intel processor and is more business oriented.

No price announcement yet. They said it will be "competitively priced". We don't even know when it will be released. There is plenty of information that is still missing. But it should come out around the same time as Windows 8 (sometime this fall).

I'm not a big fan of Microsoft, but this product might actually be cool/good. I'll wait for more information, but I might consider getting this instead of an iPad. I personally felt like the iPad isn't complete enough to replace a laptop, but this might just do it.

What's the difference between Windows RT and Windows 8?

Microsoft have actually done alright with this. I'll buy one if the price is £400 or under.

Well done Jela, well done.

the keyboard may be quite annoying because they dont look like buttons, more of a touch sensitive thing

still looks awesome and I may think about purchasing one.

Windows 8 RT runs Metro (touchscreen) apps a la iOS, while Windows 8 Intel is normal Windows and can run, well, Windows programs.

I don't think they make mechanical keyboards that thin.

They look pretty sweet. I predict these will take off like a mofo.
