Finally, there are front and rear вЂњLifeCamвЂќ cameras, each capable of 720p HD video recording.

ThereвЂ™s also a вЂњCover portвЂќ which works with MicrosoftвЂ™s magnetically attached keyboard covers вЂ“ more on which later. Unlike most rival tablets, however, Microsoft has also outfitted Surface with a full sized USB 2.0 port, opening the door to regular peripherals like printers, keyboards, mice, and other accessories. Microsoft also isnвЂ™t offering a 3G/4G version of the tablet, claiming that consumer research suggests the vast majority of tablets of a similar size to Surface donвЂ™t ever get taken outside of the home or office. A choice of 32GB or 64GB of storage вЂ“ no 16GB option, though Microsoft prices its entry-level Surface directly against the 16GB iPad 3 вЂ“ with a microSDXC card slot, WiFi a/b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.0.ДЄs youвЂ™d expect there are stereo speakers вЂ“ which are on the quiet side, even at maximum volume вЂ“ and dual digital microphones, an HD video output which, with the right $39.99 dongle, hooks up to an HDMI or VGA connection, and a cluster of sensors: ambient light to control screen brightness, an accelerometer, gyroscope, and digital compass, though no GPS. ItвЂ™s a chip weвЂ™re very familiar with from Android phones and tablets, and in fact much of SurfaceвЂ™s other specifications are par for the course in the mobile world.

In the case of Surface, Microsoft opted for NVIDIAвЂ™s quadcore Tegra 3, here paired with 2GB of RAM.

With Windows RT, the field is open for companies like NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and others to push the sort of frugal chipsets that are more commonly found in Android tablets, reaping potential benefits in power frugality and reduced heat output. Windows on an ARM processor is new territory for Microsoft.
