They have a video on the main page. The video is a minute long. They have asked for my attention for a minute.

In that minute, they have not told me anything about what the Surface can do for me, and why I should care about it. I'm absolutely baffled by that.

Yes, I might know what it is, and have some idea about what it can do, but if this was a television commercial, I'd bet money that such a campaign would be a quickly forgotten failure.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I feel like there's nothing "new" here. Can someone prove me wrong?

The smartcover-with-keyboard thing is pretty impressive.

That's what I thought at first and then thought 'I bet that feels like typing on a microfiber cloth, and the keys can't have much travel, if any at all.
