Microsoft Tablets Surface, but Will They Float?

Microsoft on Monday announced two Windows tablets in its new Surface line -- one running Windows 8 RT, and one running Windows 8 Professional. The Win 8 RT version will run on an ARM processor, and the Windows 8 Pro version will have a third-generation Intel Core processor. The casing of Microsoft's Surface tablets is made from VaporMg, pronounced "Vapor-Mag," based on magnesium. The Surface tablets have a 3mm pressure-sensitive Touch Cover that senses keystrokes as gestures. This lets users type faster than they would with an on-screen keyboard.
