Microsoft has announced a family of super-thin tablets called Microsoft Surface as the flagship devices for Windows 8 at an event today in Los Angeles.

The new Microsoft Surface will feature a 10.6-inch wide display with Gorilla Glass, its own stand, a full-size USB port, dual Wi-Fi antennae, a multitouch keyboard, a trackpad — and yet is only about a half-inch thick.

Microsoft also showed off the Touch Cover which features a multitouch keyboard and trackpad that’s so thin that it serves as a screen cover as well, allowing for a more desktop-like computing experience to take advantage of Windows 8′s legacy OS capabilities.

No word on price and availability, always enticing.
