NEW Windows Tablet

[loverocket]

No price confirmed yet, but rumors say $500 for the base and $1000 for the Pro.

USB MIDI ? Wonder if the $500 base model will run Traktor ?

i doubt it.

i doubt it.

depends if it runs an intel or arm cpu. they made a i5 with 4 gig of ram tablet that would run it no problem, however the arm version of windows wont run normal windows apps

It's intriguing for me. Being an avid apple user for many years I'm not liking the way it's going with 'locked in' ideology of the operating systems, iOS and the way Mountain Lion seem's to be heading.
Will A Microsoft 'pad' based OS Windows 8 allow free, cheap third party software to be installed eg Running Metro but be able to access the OS in the background. More MIDI tweaking/programming possibilities?

Looks cool so far. We'll have to wait for some further details though I guess.

time to jump on an ARM processor DJ solution software developers. If Algoriddim can do it for the iPad then it can be done.

Well the pro has an i5 so I'm guessing it can run anything!

Wow great for Traktor, maybe not with all the settings

USB3 is also a no go with NI sound cards

[tombruton69]

ni sound cards work with usb 3 just a touch hit or miss atm, driver update should sort that tho.

but yea if the pro is an i7 it will deffo work, guessing it has 4 gig of ram so should run traktor no probs at all

Got to hand it to microsoft, very intriguing video.
