Microsoft's Mystery Monday revealed: Surface Tablets

Microsoft this afternoon in California breathed new life into its Surface line, taking the table-top wonder and scaling information technology down into pair of Windows 8 (and Windows RT, but more than on that in a minute) tablet/latop hybrids.

Showtime things first: The new Surface is based on a 10.6-inch display. The Windows 8 Pro version is an Intel-powered beast, while the Windows RT version, equally you'd expect, is powered by an ARM processor. The former squeezes things into a thirteen.six mm-thick magnesium chassis, while the Windows RT version, with its more traditional mobile architecture, takes things down to a mere ix.6mm. Either way, these things are sparse.

Just addding a little chip of bulk -- 3 mm to be exact -- is the Touch Comprehend. Retrieve iPad Smart Cover, only with a full multitouch keyboard built in.
