Hardware
The Microsoft Surface line features VaporMg (pronounced "VaporMag"), a molded magnesium casing that houses Surface's components paired with a PVD finish. Also included in both Surface models is a USB port, a micro HDMI slot, a magnetic strip to attach accessories such as the Touch Cover and Type Cover and a microSDXC port hidden under the kickstand. Both models have two 720p HD front- and rear-facing cameras, and a 0.77 millimetres (0.030 in)-thick kickstand which allows the device to be stood up at an angle for hands-free viewing. A physical Windows key is centered directly below the screen.
For the CPUs, the Surface with Windows RT will use ARM CPUs (residing in the Nvidia Tegra SoC).

Famous quotes containing the word hardware:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
