In pictures: Microsoft Surface tablet

Microsoft's new 10.6in Windows 8 tablet

The second accessory available is a "Type cover" which includes a full trackpad with clicking buttons, coming in black only. Microsoft says it will appeal to users who prefer traditional tactile keys over touching a flat surface.

Microsoft will launch two versions of the Surface tablet. The first is an ARM-based device running Windows RT aimed at consumers, while the other uses an Intel-based chip to provide the full version of Windows 8 Pro for business and corporate users.
