Heard there will still be a fan. Quieter but still a fan.

I thought they were going to intro an 8-inch tablet?

Maybe that's later in the year? They are rumored to be picking up the Tegra K1 for their ARM Surface, which would be the only realistic way of competing against iPads and Android tablets, price-wise at least.

Not sure why they announced the Intel Surface Pro 3 now, instead of later with Broadwell processors, which would improve battery life.
