Microsoft Surface Pro

Microsoft's Surface Pro tablet uses a Core i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4000, RAM at 4GB, USB 3.0, and a miniDisplayPort. It also comes with a pressure-sensitive stylus with palm-rejection technology that magnetically clips to the charging port, and a Full HD (1920 x 1080) display instead of the 1366 x 768 variety on the ARM-based model.
