Yes it has, though the ARM version keyboard is more like a touch sensitive pad, while the daddy tablet (seen in the pic) seems to have a very slim keyboard but still seems to have physically seperate keys.
The keyboard/tablet cover has a magnetic attachment to the tablet so it can be removed if you want (why anyone would want to remove it I don't know, but the tablet works without it)
Basically the proper Windows 8 version of the tablet (which I think is releasing a few weeks months later than the ARM one) basically can be a laptop, 'cept with a touchscreen and all the hardware is in the screen half. not sure about the ARM one with Winows RT, I would guess it will be purely app based like the iPad etc, whereas Windows 8 tablet will be able to theorhetically do all the same things a desktop can (of course high end gaming might not be possible but I bet it's still gonna be way more capable of it than my current 4y.o laptop)
