17. How Has Surface Changed
Slim device. The new hardware is 4 inches thin.
A richer visual experience. With the rich color saturation from a full HD
display and a larger screen, Surface offers a compelling, immersive visual
experience that draws people in.
A vision-based touch experience. With PixelSense™, Microsoft Surface
sees and responds to touch and real world objects.
Touch-enabled from start to finish. With Windows 7 and Surface 2.0,
there is no need for a keyboard and mouse for setup and configuration.
New Quick Controls. Venue staff can adjust basic settings like volume,
brightness, and input source.
More customization options. An improved configuration utility means
you can quickly make changes to background images, configure
applications, and modify settings without getting into code.
Easier remote administration. Windows PowerShell scripts are easy to use
and create, so Surface can be deployed in an enterprise setting.
Streamlined development for touch. The Microsoft Surface 2.0 platform
makes development easier with applications for Windows 7 that run on
Windows Touch devices and with enhanced capabilities on the Samsung
SUR40 for Microsoft Surface.

19. Samsung SUR40
The SUR40 comes equipped with pedestals and
mounts in order to maneuver and position the 40-
inch, 4-inch-thick, 1080p screen and make it less of
Microsoft Surface 2 and more of Microsoft
Computer Monitor 2. The device sports a 2.9 AMD
Athlon II X2 processor and a Radeon HD 6700M
graphics card, runs Windows 7, and has Windows
Phone 7 support. The Samsung SUR40 also employs
the use of Gorilla Glass, a type of glass that can
withstand more abuse than regular glass.
The SUR40 costs a cool (uncool) $7,600 at the
moment, which is hilariously cheaper than the
$12,500 original.
