The video gives a closer look at the cover and keyboard in particular.
Microsoft is reportedly dropping $400 million on marketing the Surface.
Running on Windows RT, the Surface features a single USB port, a 10.6″ ClearType display, and measures in at 9.3mm thick.
The detachable cover is 3mm thick, and is pressure-sensitive with low-profile keys, doubling as a trackpad.
