Yes I am also waiting to see what the Surface will be like.

i more concerned about the pricing for a core i5 model since I want x86 apps. i hope $600 at max and with Graphic Card and memory options... :/

I think these are going to be about that price you stated. I really don't think Windows is going to get themselves out of the tablet game by charging a ridiculous price. I think they want to compete with the best from both Android & Apple.

I really think the Surface tablets should be on par with the prices already established by BOTH Android & Apple. To me $499.99 to $599.99 should be golden.

Wonder how the AMD-powered models will come in as, especially with the integrated CPU/GPU A-series processors... I'd love an A8 with Radeon HD7K graphics with 4-8GB RAM with a 12" 1080p screen, especially if it came in between $500-800, with another $50-100 for an attachable keyboard a la Surface. Nothing against Intel, I like the compactness and effectiveness of the A-series; cheaper too

I'd say it's going to be a little while before we see AMD APUs with 7-series graphics coming to surface. The latest offerings offer 6-series graphics I think... And Trinity A-10 Offers 6970ish graphics(which aren't bad) but are not of the caliber of 28nm Pitcarin or Tahiti.

EDIT: I actually just saw the A8 with 7K graphics o_0 ..

Nevertheless, I think that surface will learn more towards the Intel side ( I think the surface pro has an i5 ?)

I know what you mean, supposedly they are talking about multiple Nexus devices this year. I wonder what that is going to be like? Who will make the best Nexus if that pans out, is yet to be seen.

No news on the Nexus yet! Actually, we're also looking forward to it, but so far, we've only heard that Google might have not one but many vendors all building their own 2012 Nexus. So we might have Nexuses/Nexi :) Let's see how it pans out, though!

I was just hoping you had some information about it, cause it looks like this year they are keeping a tad mor secret than the previous years. I hope there will be some more information soon as it´s one of the event the android fans are waiting for.
Thanks for answering!

Man...how and WHY can you hate a company ?
Because of what ???

16. mas11 posted on 27 Aug 2012, 11:51 2

Maybe it's their overpriced devices. Or possibly their manipulation of the patent system to slow innovation.
