Here at its mysterious, last-minute press event in Los Angeles, Microsoft just confirmed it will sell its own Microsoft-branded Windows 8 tablet under the Surface badge. Measuring just 9.3mm thick, it's built around an angled, all-magnesium VaporMag case that weighs just under 1.5 pounds. Microsoft's hardware partners have also gone all-out on extra touches, such as a built-in stand, twin 2x2 MIMO antennas for WiFi, and an optically-bonded, Gorilla Glass 2-covered display.
