what the?!? ..has surface always had a full keyboard? if so... isn't this just a laptop?

Its a tablet where you can purchase a smart cover that will add a full keyboard if you want. Its a briliant design that gives  you the best of both worlds.

 

OT: They said that during their original press conference regarding the two tablets; RT would launch with Win8 and Pro would launch a few months later.

okay, so to reiterate.   the keyboard is an optional peripheral?
