I ended up ordering the standard 32GB Surface with black Touch Cover on the off chance that it would arrive more quickly. I toyed with the idea of getting the standalone tablet and purchasing a Type Cover but decided I should try out the Touch Cover first.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, my Surface and bundled Touch Cover arrived on Friday just after lunch while a colleague who went with a standalone Surface and a colour Touch Cover was left without anything. That said, Microsoft still has time to make good on its delivery date of November 6th for early adopters in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here is the unboxing video for the Microsoft Surface which includes a good look at the tablet itself towards the end of the video if you find unboxings aren&#8217;t your thing. I also show how the keyboard connects to the tablet with that confident click that\u00a0Microsoft\u00a0has been touting. For those wanting more detail,\u00a0I am going to do a preview video shortly to show more of the device \u00a0plus the out of box experience.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"760\" height=\"452\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/co3bttCGJbg\" frameborder=\"0\" type=\"text\/html\"><\/iframe>\n<p>FYI \u2013 the video will be available in up to 1080p if you click on the YouTube icon under the video and change the resolution setting there.<\/p>\n<p>This video was shot on a Panasonic X900M camcorder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here it is, potentially one of the most anticipated tablets to hit the market &#8211; Microsoft Surface!
