Inherently more -- fox tactic we -- here at the big Microsoft windows eight and people are crowded and not only is he windows based on all of these different devices but this the brand new Microsoft surface.

This is the first time that they've created their -- -- Steve Ballmer and Microsoft saying they're gonna be making more hardware -- So this is the Microsoft surface it is a tablet it has.

A couple different keyboard configurations which snapped with a bang on the bottom.

Close up and is back we'll kick stand.

Flips down and have a full size USB you also have an HDMI out port on the side.

Well -- to get rid of this application if you swipe down.

And I holed it and then it drops down the bottom and -- -- close.

But there's no sort of software indicated that lets -- know that -- actually close.

Over here is a little bit more.

That's right from the left in I wanna get back out to snap and after the left side of the screen it's not.

Terribly.

Simple.

From a first person who's trying to use -- for the very first time you may need some tutorials to get through.

All in all really.

Impressive and interesting effort from Microsoft whether -- foray into the cap space we will have to see how well it takes -- in the marketplace this holiday season whether or not.

It is windows after all remember how many computers in the world run windows.
