    Ends up it’s an amazingly long list.

    1. There was an error in the article I cited previously. The NVidia processor is not the Tegra 3 — it’s ARM.

    2. From CNet’s take on the Pro vs. RT Surface Slate:

      The “Full HD display” Microsoft mentions in its spec sheet for the Windows Pro version suggests a 1,920×1,080 pixel resolution. That might also imply a 1,280×720 display (aka 720p) on the vanilla “HD” Windows RT Surface tablet.

      Does that answer the OP’s question?

    3. Clarification — NVidia Tegra-3 is ARM. At least, according to several tech articles.

    4. Thanks, Woody, for your link to this article in your blog entry below. I understand little, but I do know it’s more expensive than the amount someone “opined” (opinion-made) online at slightly more than half that $ for the Windows 8 version. I shall have to google RT, but… I don’t want to pay $1000. Nobody ever talks about the cost of ISP access as a factor…

      I was especially intrigued by having a real keyboard. Am a fan of laptop. Virtual keyboard is not appealing to me. Must be an age thing going back to learning touch typing in junior high school.
