Surface tablets

“On the hardware front, what does it say about the tablets Microsoft is seeing from its OEM partners…? Either they are not happy with the devices out there, or they are not satisfied with only taking a licence fee from selling Windows-based tablets.” — Jan Dawson

Today’s WhatIs.com Word of the Day is Surface, Microsoft’s new line of tablets which will go on sale later this year.

Surface tablets are expected to be priced comparably to Apple and Android products, with the Windows RT version selling for about the same price as its chief competitor, the iPad, and the Windows 8 Pro version selling for the same price as the MacBook Air laptop.
