Microsoft confirms October 26 launch date for Surface*tablet

[DarkTower87]

Microsoft has confirmed its Surface tablet will land alongside Windows 8 on October 26. Although the company had hinted at a simultaneous launch in the past, this is the first time they’ve actually confirmed a specific date. It should be noted that only the ARM-based Surface for Windows RT will be available at this time, as the Intel-based Surface Pro is slated to launch about three months later.

Microsoft has yet to officially announce pricing, too. During the official announcement back in June, the company only said* that the Windows 8 Pro Surface will be competitive with ultrabooks (~$800+) and the Windows 8 RT Surface with ARM tablets (~$400-$600).

The big thing I'm looking at is the keyboard. I love that they integrated it in such a way as they did, but it looks like it has that rubbery little-movement-notebook kind of keyboard. That's a disappointment as need a keyboard that requires some push - else it feels like I'm typing on a flat surface. I need my key indentations!!!
