It's easy to see it in our hardware, but you'll truly get it through our software.

you're used to on PCs, while keeping the simplicity you've come to expect from a tablet.

The custom Android OS appears to be taking some heavy inspiration cues from Windows 8.

I'm confused, is this an actual product or a concept? I don't see anything about a price, where to buy it, when it'll be released, etc...

Also, do they use the Surface keyboards or is that a proprietary thing a very similar connector? Their website doesn't really have any info at all. I actually don't think it's a bad idea for 3rd parties to use the Surface connector... as long as it's legal and all.

They are showing it off at CES 2015. I think they have a concept product. They dont mention MS anywhere on there website, if its a collaboration or anything else.

Windows 8 sucks. The Surface sucks.

Everything that you can see or think of, is a rip off of something else. Who cares?

they both look like garbage anyways. i just hope we don't have stupid commercials for this piece of crap though.

Uh, no. I'm a huge hater of the Surface, but it doesn't suck. Neither does Windows 8.

Windows 8 is great on a tablet. The Surface is great.

The ironing...

Funny how often you two bitch about people on here not liking something popular, but hey, I guess as long as you don't like it then it's ok!

Too bad they're probably going to get sued to oblivion. This kind of stuff should be allowed though, it sparks competition. If they have the ability to make these and convince people to buy this instead of the MS one (whether because it's better, or cheaper or w/e) then all the power to them.

The Surface Pro 3 is pretty good.
