Microsoft event: The Surface Pro 4 is here to showcase Windows 10

Microsoft has introduced their latest Surface Pro reference tablet, a bigger tablet than its predecessor with high-end guts.
Starting at $899, the Surface Pro 4 is powered by a 6th-generation Skylake Intel Core m3, i5 or i7, 4B, 8GB or 16GB of RAM and Windows 10 Pro.

If you are into gaming, the lower-end device has Intel HD graphics 515, the mid-range tablet has Intel HD graphics 520 and the i7 version has Intel Iris graphics.

The screen is larger than its predecessor, at 12.3-inches, and the Surface Pro 4 has a 2736 x 1824 (267 PPI) PixelTouch display with 10 point multi-touch.

There are stereo mics and speakers with Dolby audio, dual cameras 8MP/5MP and a minimum of 128GB of SSD storage topping out at 1TB, almost unheard of for a tablet. The tablet also has a next-generation Surface Pen, a mini Display Port, a full-sized USB 3.0 port and a microSD slot.

With its decked out specs, the tablet is also relatively light, at 1.69lbs or 1.73lbs.

Considering my Qosmio "laptop" (misnomer, if there ever was one) weighs 9.7 lbs. without the immense power brick*, I'd freaking LOVE to have one of these little guys. The trick swivel/detach monitor is also pretty nice. and 1 TB of SSD..?! NICE.

*I want to make a little name-plaque that reads, "Elk-Killer" for it. You damn sure could at least STUN a large ungulate with it -.-' ...
