Microsoft  unveiled today at its event in Hollywood Surface: PCs, showing two Windows tablets. Conceived, designed and engineered entirely by Microsoft employees, Surface represents a unique vision for the seamless expression of entertainment and creativity, Microsoft said.

 Two models of Surface will be available: one running an ARM (ARMH) processor featuring Windows RT, and one with a third-generation Intel (INTC) Core processor featuring Windows 8 Pro. Both will be sold in the Microsoft Store locations in the U.S. and available through select online Microsoft Stores. Surface sports a full-sized USB port and a 16:9 aspect ratio and a uouch cover. Suggested retail pricing will be announced closer to availability and is expected to be competitive with a comparable ARM tablet or Intel Ultrabook-class PC. OEMs will have cost and feature parity on Windows 8 and Windows RT.
