From the video we can see that Surface 1.0 is quite capable of handling Windows 8 Developer Preview.However, With the release of Surface 2.0 Scheduled next year,it would be interesting to use Windows 8 advanced versions and to feel the difference it would make using Surface 2.0.
Surface 2.0 Specs include:
- It’s aptly named SUR 40 due to its 40-inch 1080p display which is capable of handling fifty simultaneous touch inputs, and is protected by the largest sheet of Gorilla Glass ever applied to a screen. The display uses Microsoft’s new PixelSense technology, which essentially infuses each pixel with both optical and infrared sensors that enable the screen to recognize fingers and other objects that interact with it without the use of cameras.
- AMD Athlon X2 245e 2.9GHz processor and a 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6750 GPU, along with 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 320GB hard drive, while the Surface 2.0 software is built on top of 64-bit Windows 7 Professional.
