Microsoft Surface

[Lance Bachelder]

You’re right the specs on the Pro version look like it could handle editing with via USB3 or right from a SDXC card? Full HD screen plus keyboard – could be cool…

[Steve Connor] “Microsoft have a tablet, well three tablets I think and one of them runs Windows 8 Pro, with an Ivy Bridge Core i5!

Perhaps Premiere Pro and Avid will be on a modern tablet before FCPX is?

…..and it has a kickstand.”

Yeah, the specs look pretty good on the Pro version. Display port out. USB 3 i/o. Full version of Windows 8. i5 Chip. I can imagine Prelude–at the least–running on this thing the week its released.

And, it has a kickstand.

And a touch cover that’s a full keyboard/trackpad.

Which is why you have the kickstand!

Y’know, my phone has a kickstand and I use it all the damn time. I love it.

And I’m not just saying that because I have a kickstand and now make use of it. I’d wanted one before, and I gotta tell ya, even cooler than I thought.

(BTW, that thing on most iPad covers? Not a kickstand. It’s a FLAP.)

Kickstand?

Huh.

Weird.

Can’t really see taking my shoe off to set up my computer for typing but whatever… (grin)

Hope these gizmos are really, truly cool and work well out of the box. Competition is pretty universally a driver of better performance for everything.

I would pay any amount of money for this if it had a kick stand.

Wait. What?

First one to get a full version of OS X running on this wins a free pony.
